I¡¯m dealing with a no start on my 2001 Eurovan GLS W/116k miles. I don¡¯t drive it much and it sits in the garage and am original owner. ?A few years ago I did the starter , a few years before that an ignition switch and brake switch.?
Last year?I had a rare intermittent start issue where I would get dash lights but no crank. Let it sit 10 min, then it would start. A week ago I took it out for its first ride in 6 months to Target¡15 min drive¡came out, no crank. Waited¡prayed¡and it started. Drove home back in the garage. Turned off¡tried¡no start. (I leave it on a battery tender when not used).?
A couple of days later I walked past and thought to try again ¡it started. Then everyday since nothing.?
Today! ¡after reading issues of other members I fiddled with the connector and got the starter to engage (ignition on) and it started! Turned it off and now no crank. By accident¡using a screw driver to reach the metal connector to ¡°clean it¡± ¡I apparently jumped the starter and it spun. (Yay!). Turned ignition on and did it again¡on purpose !!¡and it started. Turned it off and nothing again. Oddly the reverse lights were on when it was running (albeit a bit rough).?
So here I am wondering ¡what could it be. Neutral safety switch ? Reverse lights an indicator?? Clean some connection somewhere ??
Sorry for the long story but thought the details as I know them might help.?
