I have replaced the starter with a new one and the van will not start it is making a clicking sound at the relay but there seems to be no power to the starter or to the fuel pump. Is there a reset switch or something I am missing. I have used a test light to check for power and get nothing. However all of the lights and the dash indicator lights work. Neut/safety switch appears to be good. No breaks in any wiring.

Start by making sure you have a good and fully charged battery.
 Turn key on and check fuses.
 With key on you should have check engine light on if not suspect bad ignition switch.
 Check starter relay in fuse /relay box under hood mark and switch relays around.
 Unplug BCM wait few minutes and re plug it back and check.
 On the starter you should have power at the big B terminal all the time if not check for short between starter and battery positive terminal.
