It started fine this morning when I pulled it into the garage. I did a few things, loaded the family in the car, started it up (started fine again), backed up about 10 to 15 feet and it died. It won't even crank over. It has a full charge on the battery, the starter relay is engaging, but it won't even turn over. It is just dead. What could be causing this?

I am having the same exact problem with a 1998 T&C. Driving down the road slowing for a signal and the van died. Will not turn over. You can hear the solonoid click, but the starter does not engage. Battery is 4 weeks old and everything electrical seems to work. Replaced the relays under the hood one at a time with no success. If you get any answers, please let me know.
