Van will not crank over. Has new starter and fully charged battery. Radio and other accesories work fine. What do I check next? I was told to check battery cables for corrosion but have none on battery. Battery light stays on in the dashboard panel.Please help............. :banghead:

Just a thought. Try starting in neutral. May be the neutral safety switch.

Tried that too.............Thanx anyway

Ignition switch. It is possible that the switch will work in the on position but not the crank position. I would look under the steering column/dash for the following wires. With a test light, test the Starter wire (yellow) for + voltage with the key in the crank position.


WIRE COLORS LOCATION

12 VOLTS CONSTANT RED IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
IGNITION 1 PINK (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
ACCESSORY/HEATER BLOWER ORANGE (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
STARTER YELLOW (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

Good Luck.

You got the VATS key? With the chip. They can cause this problem. A dealer can check the key to see if it is defective. Or the brushes in the switch that contact the chip can be bad too. Rough up the metal contacts on the key, spray a little shot of WD-40 in the switch, and work the key around in there a little then try it.
