Hi,
I and a friend are working on trying to figure out the problem with his 1994 Astro. It had an intermitent starting problem that has now become permanent no start problem.
The engine starter is doing it's job perfectly. There to our knowledge is no corrosion on the battery cables ( couldn't see down by the starter though). We cleaned the terminals for the battery cables and battery. We replaced what looked like a melted relay under the hood of the vehicle. That part is all good now. We checked all the fuses and they are good. There are two or three breakers installed in the fuse box that we have no way of knowing if they are good or bad. We left those in place I believe.
What's happening is the fuel pump is not priming or turning on. The headlights won't come on, and the dome lights won't come on.
We think it may be a fusible link that we can't find. Do you guys have a good sugestion as to what may be the problem?
Thank you for your help... his family/4 children REALLY need the use of their van.
