The car intermitinly will not start. When the key is turned it is completely dead. The ignition coil was just replaced and the van ran well for a week and then the problem re-occurred.

before you do something like replacing the switch have the starter checked for draw as well as condition of battery. there is a relay as well in the undrhood electrical center see if thatis making good contact
