Hi, Ok, next issue to tackle. The van was running just fine after replacing the alternator and battery. I went to start up the van this evening and nothing, not even a click. The headlights and heater blower and everything else works and there is 12.6 volts on my battery. I tried jump starting it off my other car just to make sure the battery wasn't low and the starter wouldn't even click. Its been raining heavy here, could the starter wires have gotten wet, come off or the starter or solenoid froze up? Any way to test any of my guesses or should I just get it towed to the shop? I am not even sure how to get to the starter and solenoid. Does the van need to be lifted and reach it from underneath?

Thanks as always, David
