Sometime my car would not start, like totally dead ignition. There is no light on dashboard, head light is fine. when you turn the key in ignition no sound like totally dead. after day or two it will start without any problem. I changed module and ignition still same issue. it is not battery problem because headlight works fine try with jump still is not start.

Hi:
Have you checked the starter relay or the starter itself? Also, does the van have a factor security system?

It's probably the factory security system. More specifically the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). Read the Sentry Key section in your manual and see if this might be what you are experiencing.
