twisted roundabout thingamagig , did you take a picture first?? sometimes things don't go back together right if they get twisted up? I have a beer after i finish the job, but not before or during, because then usually end up with a couple of extra bolts on hand, where does that go ?!?

not starter or alternator do you have any codes? if you have an electronic odometer ,put key in ignition and turn it on and off 3 times without starting engine, and stop with ignition in the on possion and you will get codes where millage is displayed ,at the end of codes it will say DONE

Does your radio still work ?

Most vehicles have the dashboard lights keyed to the rear taillights as an indicator when those have gone out. Your dashboard fuse may be good, but you are just being warned that your back end is in danger! Hope this helps.

A bad transmission. Several things would cause this in a newer one. Yours is just old ad tired....rebuild or replace.

Well code 1698 means the engine computer could not communicate with the transmission control module. I doubt that would kill the engine, but there could be a wiring problem somewhere. It could be a faulty relay too.

ECM electronic control module not working may be a loose wire or bad ground

So rather than have a shop do the proper testing to find the problem, your just going to keep throwing parts at it The internet has your crank sensor location, Google the question for a picture Spark Plugs & Wires won't have much to do with a NO START Condition

you need to know if it has any codes. your computer needs to know that the engine is actually spinning before it will activate the asd relay which supplies 12v to the coil and injectors, so a failed cam or crank sensor will create this problem

On the back of the engine between trans. and engine.

just bend the line in the same shape as the original one on the van, that`s all that is done in the shop.

Check coolant level. Start cold with cap off and add coolant as necessary with HEATER ON, while running. Let it get up to operating temperature and rad fan comes on 2 or 3 times, then make sure topped up and put cap back on.

try dealer parts page diagrams? its there on all chrysler. cars. ah, no usa cars, its a Vauxhall Meriva you left off vauxhall.. same answer, in UK (unstated) go to chyrlser oem page click part, see BCM i dont think any 97 has that but could be wrong. most dont. no posted symptoms so am blind to the issue at hand. engine dead, head lights dead, what/?

If your talking about the throttle control module, It's mounted on the shaft that your accelerator cable connects to. So as you press down on your accelerator, you will see a throttle shaft move under the hood. The sensor connects to this to tell the computer how much fuel to inject. These sensors fail often as they move constantly and will also fail if you overheat your engine. It works on the same principle of a dimmer switch in your home. Off to On slowly as you turn it. Hope this helps.

what is the question?, please ask one, or post symptoms (better) and ask for tests. if no tools in shop. ask for raw guessing. BCM..

For the 1997 3.0 liter Grand Voyager: Remove A/C belt. Release tension on serpentine belt by moving the tensioner, then remove the belt. Be sure to note how the belt is routed.From way back underneath the car look up along the exhaust pipe leading to the rear manifold, you can just see the bolt on the back of the tensioner to the right of the rightmost spark plug boot (looking forward from under the engine). Route a socket (15 mm I think) on a short extension up along the exhaust pipe and shield (make sure it's cold!), you can just get it onto the bolt. Then snake a socket up and connect to the extension, no universal joints needed. There's just enough room to get enough leverage on the bolt to remove it. From then on it's simple.I replaced my tensioner a few hours ago as above.
