Here is the interesting part... If I turn the key to the start position and open the driver's door, there is a momentary pause and then the engine will start. I found this by accident when I went to my mechanic to pick it up. He said it was probably the starter relay so he replaced it. It didn't fail for him. Well, he had never closed the driver's door when attempting to start the van. As soon as I paid the bill and got into the van and closed the door, the van would not start (like there was no electricity to the starter, and no discernible 'click' anywhere). The mechanic ran full electrical diagnostics and found no 'hits'.
I have a workaround by opening the door when this happens. Any ideas?
