I have a 02 Chrysler Town and Country van and it just stops running when you drive it about 5 miles. If you rase the hood you can hear something clicking in the fuse box. If you unhook the battery for three minutes it will start and run again. I changed the fuel pump
but this did not help. Can you tell me what the problem is?

When you disconnect the battery you're wiping out the stored diagnostic fault codes. I suspect that's just giving something time to cool down. A failing crankshaft position sensor will commonly cause stalling but rather than just replace random parts and hope one helps, once it stalls again, have the codes read to get you into the right circuit. Many auto parts stores will read them for you for free.
