Sometimes, when I try to start the van, the odometer lights will not light up. This is my only warning that it will start and immediately shut off. If I continue to attempt to crank the vehicle, it will do this for about 3 times and then it will not even turn over. The battery will still turn on all lights and operate everything in the car but it will not crank. Trying to jump the car off does nothing. The battery registers good. It will fix itself after several minutes or hours and will start fine. Then, with no warning, this happens again. All fuses are fine as are the relays. When it cranks, it runs fine. It has recently begun to do this more often and take longer to "fix itself". Because it seems to repair itself, it never has done this by the time it arrives at the shop and the mechanics cannot seem to diagnose the problem. It seems electrical but I am at a loss, just very frustrated. Thank you for any help you can offer and I appreciate your time.

Just wondering if you had your problem with your van has been fixed? I've been having the same problem for over a year now. But just the past few weeks its gotten worse and takes days before it will turn over. I have taken to dealership as well and can't find problem, cause it works after I get it there, but now its days with out working so I'm going to take in on friday, will let you know what the problem is (if they fix it) also have you replace your crank sensor, ECG senor, or fuel pump? Thats what I've heard could be the problem. Thanks

No. The problem has not been fixed. Please let me know what comes of your trip to the shop because none of my trips have been fruitful. Thank you for your message.
