It's possible it is both the solenoid (or starter) and the battery. The van started once when I bypassed the solenoid after hitting the starter with a hammer, the next time it wouldn't.. i checked and the battery was dead.

It's the solenoid! Do yourself a favor an go on ebay looking for starter solenoid for a Villager. there is one guy on there that all he sells are solenoids for a fraction of what retail wants and works great.
