I had a  similar problem for a bit and to get around it, I just attached a
remote  starter switch to the starter, ran it under the back hatch and left
it under  the back seat. It's a great tool to have even afterward and fairly
cheap at  $10-20.

Depending on the issue that may fix you up  temporarily.




If you can't find a remote starter button , just run a wire to the small
wire on the solenoid of the starter into the engine compartment and use the
hot  wire on the back of the alt. to jump it. A PITA to have to remove the
engine  cover everytime to do this ,so a remote starter button would be
better.   be sure the van is out of gear and brake is on.   later  mark d
