Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Sorry to hear about your Aerostar's trouble. Since the relays were stolen and the van cranks but doesn't start, it sounds like you might be missing fuel or spark. First, double-check that the new relays are the correct type and fully seated. Sometimes, the fuel pump relay might be involved, so listen for the fuel pump priming when you turn the key. If that's working, you may want to check the ignition system for spark. If the fuel pump isn't engaging, the theft could have damaged wiring or fuses, so it’s worth inspecting those as well.
