Van will not start. I have tried to track down a short in the system and now it will not start, or turn over with the key. I can remove the starter relay cover and engage the starter from there and it turns over fine, but still will not run. I did remove that entire fuse panel looking for the possible draw on the system and replaced it the same way. Is there a printed curcuit board in that fuse block under the hood? Could there a possibility that there could be a short in this fuse block? I am at a loss, please help!!!

Best to get a good wiring diagram and check all power feeds and fuses and fuse links and switch circuits.
You are losing voltage someplace.

I have traced the yellow wire from the ignition switch that feeds power to the starter circuit and I have power to the main fuse panel while the key is turned in the start position, from there I lose it.:banghead: It does not route to the starter relay like it should. This is why I am thinking it may be in the fuse bank itself, but this is the first venture with working on a Chevy so I am not sure of how they designed the system, is it a common ground system. I cannot find much material online for reference. Any help will be greatly appreciated...

As said you need a good wiring diagram.
Factory repair manual or a On Line all data sub.

Also most public libaries have car repair info.
The yellow wire from ign start goes to start Fuse.
From start fuse on purple wire it goes to VCM connector 2 wire 59.

From VCM connector c1 pin 39 yellow.black wire it goes to starter relay.
From starter relay on purple wire to starter solenoid.
