Hello,

This guide should help

Please run down this guide and report back.

Hello, I'd make sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are all clean and tight. Any codes?

Did you check for voltage at the starter relay circuits? The voltage for the load side of relay is probably hot all the time. The voltage for the control side of relay goes hot with the key in the crank position. The control side of relay has to have voltage and ground or the relay won't energize. Low voltage will cause relays to click.

In Chrysler vans with multible unrelated system failures in a relitively short period of time, be sure to check the bottom side of the Power Distribution Module (fuse box) under the hood for signs of corrosion, heat damage, etc. I have never seen a TSB on this but have run into it on many occasions, as well as have two chrysler dealer service mangers that I work with regularly.
In every case I have had (after proper diagnosis) replacing the PDM with a new unit has corrcted the problem.
The symptom of the randomly firing relays is what makes me think this may be your problem, but be sure to check all your wiring(primarily to the PDM & PCM) and the ignition switch as well. A new PDM is not in the price range that I would recommend putting it in just to see.
Hpe this helps, let me know.

No safety switch?

Use a test light and check all fuses
check battery and terminals
when key on do you have a check engine light on (you should )
lets cycle key on off on off on off on read codes if any in the odometer area
check oil and if any leaking

Check and test the auto shutdown relay/ ASD relay and the fuel pressure.

This relay can give a terrible headache-it powers the coil/fuel pump thru the fuel pump relay/injector all at once when the computer energizes it.

Code P1255
sorry not familiar with this code
need to get a test light and check for power at the starter and look for any broken wires
good luck

Fan realy and wiring at the same side
give it a good look too
good luck

Lots of defective logic. Relays and thermostat are up high and will not be affected by running over something. Water pump won't be damaged either. When you start throwing a bunch of parts at it without a proper diagnosis, you introduce a lot of new variables. BMRFIXIT suggested fan wiring. That makes the most sense. If he is right, it will not overheat on the highway when the wind is blowing through the radiator. If it does overheat, coolant is not circulating. Check for a crushed or pinched lower radiator hose, or a serpentine belt knocked off the pulleys. With the belt off, you won't have power steering either.

The codes you read are 12 and 55. 12 just means the ignition switch was turned off. 55 is the end of the message. Both of these are normal.

Check replace starter
check fuses and relays

Find the starter its in between the engine and transmission. At solenoid brown wire-look for power there while key is at starting positon-Power present, replace the starter. No power see below
