Sign In The other day my van started and stalled three or four times in a row and then everything went completely dead no starter no idiot lights nothing. I disconnected the battery for about 15 minutes connected to battery backup and it started right up with no problems. It now seems to do this about once a week. any ideas?

Sign In 1st you need to know the battery that went as if disconnected is any good AND all connections. Then test charging system that it's up to par. That much before other issues if any can be chased down. Most will regulate alternator thru ECM (computer) if not charging. If so and you are charging it or swapping batteries always allowing them to get VERY low it will ruin batteries. 1st things first then tests right away on to a parasitic drain possible but not as likely if happens while running as you said it did, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 13, 2017, 10:35 AM Post #3 of 3 (1137 views) Re: 98 Town & Country computer problems??? Sign In This is likely not a charging system problem. You are clearing the computers when you disconnect the battery. I think you need to read the codes when this happens and not disconnect anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
