Hi,
   Where did you find a reference to a "low voltage relay"?  I have not
heard of such a thing.

My understanding of the load reduction relay is that it disconnects all
loads not essential during starting so that more current is available to the
starter and coil.  I would think that the van should start regardless of
that relay's condition.
