That looks like my fix of my wife's 2002 T&C minivan, though I didn't pull the bumper cover off. It has a similar tilting fuse/relay box and I first checked all those connectors for corrosion since a common problem (not in our CA van). I then went thru the whole wire harness, removing the old brittle sheath and checking wires. Some were stuck together down near the tranny, which I separated but didn't see any exposed copper. I re-wrapped everything. I must have fixed something because the engine hasn't done the "suddenly dies" thing for 3 years since. It was starting to die every 5 miles. I would open the hood, wiggle the main harness, cast a spell, and it would usually start only to die later. BTW, I had already fixed the melted fuel injector harness where it passes by the exhaust cross-over (another common problem). So much fun trouble-shooting modern vehicles.
