1996 Chrysler Town and Country 6 cyl 196400 miles

Is it possible that a sensor could make the vehicle not start on cold cold days?
I have no problems with the vehicle until it gets below 50 degrees! It will not start until weather above 55 degrees shows up!
If a bad sensor is the problem, where is the sensor located?
Thanks

It sure would be helpful to know what the symptoms are. Does the engine crank? If not, do you hear one kind of loud clunk from the starter when you turn the ignition switch to "crank"? If this is the case, suspect worn contacts in the starter solenoid. They are copper and could contract in cooler weather causing them to act up more. The clue is the engine will eventually crank if you cycle the ignition switch to "crank" multiple times.
