The alternator may be bad and its not charging the battery. The other option is taking off the battery cap and checking to make sure there is water in the cells but PLEASE be careful and dont let the cap touch your clothes or anything else for that matter and wash your hands afterwards. Hope it helps!

Chrysler van won't go forward or revers

Im having the same problem as you. First thing is, If it was a valve popping it would make the noise when started not only when in reverse. Secondly, the vehicle is starting so its not the battery, if it were clicking from the battery it would mean the van wouldnt start and it would be clicking when it tries to turn over.

When van is started,it clicks after2-6 times it will start

After it clicks 2-6 times and then starts, does it crank really slowly or fast? If it is cranking slowly, it sounds like you're battery is weak and should be replaced. If it is cranking fast, then your starter is going bad and should be replaced.

My van wont start when we turn it to start it, it just makes a clicking sound

If its a fast clikcing noise like a machine gun, its a bad connection or a weak battery. If its just one click then nothing it can be the starter or the battery. Try to give it a jump and see if it starts. Get back to me!

2005 town & country won't re-start after shut down..

Check and see how much your alternate is putting out. Make sure that your battery cables are clean. Check the water in the battery. It sounds more like a connection problem than stater.
