That really sounds like a problem in the battery, or the battery cables. -----Original Message----- From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 7:45 am Subject: [tcb] Help! Bus won't start - electrical woes Okay here is the situation. I get in the Bus and turn the key, the E-brake light, oil light and battery light come on as usual and then I turn the key to the start position and...silence. I look down and the lights are off and I don't hear the clock anymore either. So I look at the fuses and the coil wires and everything is good. I get back in and see a faint glow in the E-brake light. Then slowly all the lights come back as if someone has them on a dimmer switch and is slowly turning it up. Then I hear the fuel pump kick on then I turn the key and...nothing then darkness. It did this twice so I took the battery out and put it on the charger. It has a full charge. I noticed the ground strap on the battery looks like it could be replaced but other than that I am stumped. I got a ride to work so I plan on looking into it this evening with any suggestions I get from TCB It ran fine yesterday and no hints of trouble. Thanks in advance!
