i have a 2003 pontiac montana. i noticed the plug for the fans was broke. i cut the plug off, went to local salvage yard and got the same exact plug and spliced it to the wires on the van. after i got that done now the van won't crank. i try but nothing happens. anybody got any suggestions?

There isn't really any connection to engine operation. Look around the area and see if you knocked something else apart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

OK, so you have a "no crank" situation. Make sure you have it in Park but you're still looking broken wires or detached plugs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Make sure the battery tests good, is fully charged, and your connections are clean and tight. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

It's not supposed to. that only powers during cranking. You have likely burned out a fusible link at the starter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
