No start

Hello my name is Dave.

It sounds to me like your most likely problem will be the starter. Hopefully it didn't run long enough with the starter engaged to damage the flywheel. The first thing I would loo for are melted wires, we need to check the main wire to the starter for voltage when the key is turned. To do this you will need a volt ohm meter, here is our tutorial for using a volt ohm meter:

First you'll want to test battery voltage making sure you have at least 12 volts. Then you'll want to test the voltage at the starter itself when you have someone turn the key to start, it only has one wire so determining the right wire isn't a problem on your van. I recommend grounding the volt ohm meter to the starter so you can be sure the actual voltage the starter is getting, if you ground it to the battery and there is an issue with the ground circuit then you will get an inaccurate result. If you are getting voltage to the starter then it will need to be replaced. If you are not getting voltage to the starter then we will want to test continuity to the starter. Set the meter to ohms and test the resistance from the solenoid lead to the starter and also from the ground of the battery to the body of the starter. If those check out fine we need to make sure that the ground strap from the engine to the body is in good shape, again test the strap for resistance. All these test should test to be very close to 0 ohms, meaning little to no resistance. The last thing to be sure of is if you have a 4 post solenoid you want to be sure the small red wire is connected to the small post labeled "s"

If you can go through these steps and let us know the results we will be happy to help you further if needed. We look forward to hearing back from you and thank you for using 2CarPros!
