I've had this vehicle for approximately 6 months and have had every issue imaginable. This time the vehicle will not turn over. The starter seems to have electrical current running through it. There are interior lights, door locks and windows work. It has a new battery and fuses. Can you help? Not sure what else to check. Fuel pump has been changed in January. Please assist if possible.

Try tapping on starter and see if it will crank over. If it does then the starter is no good.

The starter was checked and although it worked, we went ahead and replaced because we wasn't sure how old the one on the van was. The problem is when you turn the vehicle over, nothing. It doesn't crank like it's trying to start, totally dead. Would an ignition module cause this? Not 100% sure if this Safari has one so just guessing. Additional help needed here, at a loss.

Is the engine turning over or is it failing to turn over?
