My 98 Chrysler Town & Country minivan has a very elusive electrical starting problem.
99 percent of the time it works fine but every once in a while when you go to start it after having turned it off (usually at a very inconvenient place) you get absolutely no response(no sound,no clicking) when you turn the key to start it. When this happens the instrument panel gages are all flatlined(no power to them), however other electrical works (radio,heater windows lights etc.). I've had the ignition switch replaced and that wasn't it. Battery, starter etc.all ok.
Curiously, it always seems to start right up again when you try it later on after a couple hours.
It is such a sporadic problem that I can't get anyone to pin it down.
Your ideas would be appreciated.
