Hi,
  Ok, next issue to tackle.  The van was running just fine after  replacing
the alternator and battery.  I went to start up the van this  evening and
nothing, not even a click.  The headlights and heater blower  and everything
else works and there is 12.6 volts on my battery.  I tried  jump starting it
off my other car just to make sure the battery wasn't low and  the starter
wouldn't even click.  Its been raining heavy here, could the  starter wires
have gotten wet, come off or the starter or solenoid froze  up?  Any way to
test any of my guesses or should I just get it towed to the  shop?  I am not
even sure how to get to the starter and solenoid.   Does the van need to be
lifted and reach it from underneath?

Thanks as always,
David
