Hello fellow Vanagoneer�s,

So this Sunday I drove from Upstate NY to Forest Hills Queens, upon arrival
I turned off the engine.  5 Minutes later I went to start the van and
nothing happened. Not a sound.

I checked to see if the exterior lights were working and they were, then I
checked the interior lights � worked, stereo worked, and the lights on the
dash worked. I turned it all off.

I waited 5 minutes, then it started no problem.

I have been driving the van every weekend on 2-4 hour trips every weekend
and locally around town for months with no issue.

So what was the problem? What do I need to be checking on? Will it happen
again?

TIA.
