Let's start at the beginning.  What's the problem?  Replacing parts only comes after a proper diagnosis of a problem.

Too many people spend a fortune replacing parts that aren't actually the problem.

[GypsyDogs]

The problem:  very occasionally, when you turn the key, you just get a click under the dog house.
Take key out, and gently tickle the ignition box/wires and he will usually fire right up next key turn.  If not, do it again.. And he starts.  I- having no Real mechanical knowledge- assume that the part that requires a gentle pat or two, is the source of the problem.  Part is in hand, i just cannot get at it to change it.  (Balance issues.., cannot headstand to see the area under the dash..)

End of Part box...

Note: My first try, got the error message "The file "20181125_134204.jpg" is too large. The maximum size for that type of file is 3075 kilobytes.".
So I used MSPaint to manually crop & shrink.
That was my first ever attempt to use a forum's "attach" picture thingie. Yeah, it is a nuisance, and would be utterly frustrating for a normal and/or YARC humanoid.

Thanks in advance to all who can help.
This is for the van GypsyDogs is selling me, so you're helping two members!

Rock auto is having a clearance sale on parts for that van. By cleaning the connections it will usually work.   Get a bottle of de oxit from the parts house and you will be surprised at how shiny your electrical connects become. (Shiny is good).

Take pictures of it before you take the part off. You'll have a nice reference when you put the new one on.
