Default Dead as a doornail

We have a 2002 Dodge Caravan, SE 4 Cylinder. The vehicle died while driving, and won't restart. I have power to the lights, radio, and fans, but it does not turn over or even try to start. I hear no relays or solenoids energizing. I have no alarm or tilt steering in the vehicle.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Did some research and it appears there are issues with the TIPM and with the B+ feed to the PCM causing a no response condition from the PCM and it being dead. Try wiggling the connectors on the bottom of the TIPM.
