I bought a new battery today as it was getting to need a charge once in a while. It was old so it should be replaced anyway. I will probably find out it’s the alternator or voltage regulator before this is remedied.

No codes have been thrown. I checked fluid level. It is good. We have packrats here in the desert and inspected for wire damage. None found. Van has 123,000 miles.

It was just a dirty battery connection. Alas! It started. I’ve often said while watching Eric’s video that I wished he was my next door neighbor but having this site available to me is a close second. Thanks a lot Eric and you other guys.

I’ve kept the battery charged out of the vehicle. When I turn key to start I get no dashlights and no crank. Might it be a bad ground and if yes where?
Thanks

JohnThis is a motorhome that doesn’t get used much so I have really neglected getting back to work on it. I am back on the project and have new issues. I bought a control computer a a junkyard and do have power to the in tank fuel pump which I replaced with a new one since I had the fuel tank dropped. After cycling the ignition a few times I confirmed it was working by unscrewing the fuel cup that is on the frame rail. I have gas there. Upon trying to start I lost all lights on the dash and now the hot terminal on the battery is warm to the touch even with the key off. If it were possible I would have it towed to an electrical shop but I have it wedged in the barn and can’t hook up to it. Back to the drawing board. Help

I have spark and the injectors are firing. Does the computer have the function of supplying the power to the fuel pumps? I heard yes from the mechanic I hired to look at it and when I went to the electrical man to have him rebuild or order a new computer he said that as long as I have spark and injectors firing it isn’t the computer.
Thanks
