Battery is good, can jump out starter relay and it will crank. I have a ground signal from the neutral safety switch to the pcm and no signal out to the relay from the pcm. Is it the pcm???
does this caravan have a neutral safty switch?,i have a no crank,no start went down the line on trouble shooting and still no luckdoes this caravan have a neutral safty switch?,i have a no crank,no start went down the line on trouble shooting and still no luck

85 & 86 are the control side of the relay , one should have battery voltage (85) the other (86) doesn't .86 is control from the PCM - engine computer . PCM supplys a ground to close contacts inside the relay sending battery voltage to the S terminal on the starter solenoid . If the PCM doesn't see a voltage signal fron the park neutral safety switch it won't energize the relay .
Circuit Description (ECM/PCM Controlled)
Moving the ignition switch to the START position sends a 12-volt signal to the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) Crank Request circuit. The ECM/PCM verifies that the transmission is in the PARK or NEUTRAL position. With the transmission in Park, voltage flows through the Park/Neutral position switch and feeds the starter relay coil. The PCM then grounds the control circuit of the starter relay. When the starter relay is energized it allows battery positive voltage to the starter solenoid S terminal. On some vehicles the starter will continue to crank the engine with the key released until it starts or the crank command has timed out to prevent excessive heat build up in the starter circuitry or the ECM/PCM receives an engine run flag.
Yes there is a starter relay in the wiring diagram. The yellow and lite blue wire goes from the starter solenoid to the relay. There is a yellow wire from the relay to a 30amp fuse. The key switch powers thru the neutral safety switch and then powers the relay on.
Check the neutral safety switch on the transmission. It should have three wires on the connector (if I remember correctly). There should be power on the Brown with yellow wire with the key in the crank position. If there is ground that wire and see if the van starts. If it does replace the switch. If it does not check the starter relay.

It's most likely the neutral safety switch. Try putting the shifter in Neutral and slipping it just a little toward Park and see if it'll crank. If it does the neutral safety switch is the problem but worn linkage is the cause.
You've already check or replace everything else so it has to be this or the ignition switch.
there is an interrupt switch, called neutral safety switch. When it fails or goes out of adjustment, no start, and essentially no protest or indication. Try foot on brake, shift to neutral, turn key to start and slowly move shifter out of nuetral in each direction. If starter actuates, look into switch adjustment.
