Van won't start before the sun heats up the hood. It has a new alternator, battery, and starter.

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Sounds like your Caravan has a classic cold-weather gremlin. Since you’ve got a new alternator, battery, and starter, the issue might be moisture or a temperature-sensitive connection. Check the wiring, especially the battery cables and ground connections, to ensure they’re clean and tight. You could also have a failing ignition relay or corroded starter connections that only engage once they warm up a bit. If you need any further advice or want help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554.
