2005 Expy No start in Morning

[halo16]

Ok got a strange problem,

My car will not start in the morning for past 2 days it has only been in the low mid 40”s with plenty of moisture.

When I turn the key nothing happens except a click from fuse box.

Radio lights all still work fine. Once it warms up it has started so far with no issue.

Any Ideas what to trouble shoot?

FYI-In Case someone else has this issue.

Some of the suggestions have been to check the Anti theft light to see if it blinks or stays on, hinting a may be the key.

2nd suggestion is the ECM may be going bad and to leave key on for 15-20 minutes then try and start, if does the ECM is probably bad.

I had the FPDM and Fuel Relay replaced in October 2015, so this issue is a new one. And may be time to think about selling, super frustrated! Only 73,000 miles too, My 1999 Expy was so much better!

I would check the wiring from the battery to the starter and everything in-between for any signs of corrosion and also for tightness.

Can you read and understand wiring diagrams?

when you have a no start condition Dose the starter kick over or nothing?

I can read some but armature regarding diagrams. To check the wiring was another suggestion I was told to.

It does not kick over, it is silent other than a click in the fuse box I can hear and I hear that as normal.

It's confusing cause it has just been in the morning so far when there is moisture, but no idea if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks

Can you check fuse #101 in the fuse box behind the kick panel The fuse should have 12 Volts at all times Use a volt meter or test lamp don't pull it and just look at it.
Get the input and output voltage

You say you hear the relay clicking.

Have you replaced the starter relay in the fuse block?

Has any work been done on the fuse block before you had this problem?

Yes... the Fuel Relay was replaced in October 2015. so the fuse box was pulled out and reinstalled, since the fuel relay was replaced no issues until the no start issue in morning a few days ago, then been starting in afternoon.

I have not replaced the starter relay. I will have to check fuse 101 and report back.

Since the fuse box has been removed it may help to check the connections that plug into it. Make sure they are seated correctly and not backing out.
