I went to start my van the other day and found it totally unresponsive. No clicking starter, nothing. The cabin acted normal - dash lights were working fine, etc - so I tested the starter. It's fine. The starter switch appears to be fine, as the relays click when it is turned. I hooked up a quick starter button up in the engine bay, and found that it will crank, but will not start.

I'm guessing, then, that the problem lies somewhere between the relay panel and the engine itself, but I'm scared to say it's the ECU.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

start simple:
let us know remote starter, aftermarket alarm, is the CEL on if applicable security light on?

Be sure vehicle is in PARK...Moving "shaking" the shifter.

Check fuse #9 its a 40amp for that matter ck all fuses -then try swapping out the starter relay,

 

I don't have a remote starter or alarm system at all.

We checked all of the fuses in the relay panel in the engine bay. Is there another fusebox in the cabin somewhere that I've overlooked?

 

Do you have a 2.4L or 3.3L? If you have 2.4L then ck for a blown fuse, this also for the ASD relay. If the fuse is blown, then the starter may have been the cause.

 

It's a 3.3 liter engine. Sorry for not stating that in the OP.
