Charging Issue 2000 van. HELP! - 02/16/14 09:39 PM
Colleague in Huntington , WV having issues. 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 cargo van, automatic v-6 two wheel drive.
QUOTE
Battery is new. Had 2 different parts houses check battery and alternator they checked out fine. Up until today it would run fine during the day. At night when headlights on I would only have about an hour then heater will quit then panel lights flashing and dimming and headlights will go totally out then van will die. You can get a jump and it will crank right up.
Today with engine running I removed negative cable and engine died. Now it will not start. Checked and cleaned battery terminals. Going to get it jump started and see after charging if it will start.
