Garry, You are likely to need a maintenance manual published by Haynes available at larger parts chains like Auto Zone. These have the electrical diagrams to trouble-shoot your problem. You will also need an electric multi-meter. A good digital one will cost about $20.00. Be sure you have sharp probes which easily penetrate a wire insulation to sense the voltage or resistance being tested. Off hand, the likely problems could be a blown fuse or a problem with the ignition switch. A broken wire is possible but less likely. Alternately and quicker would be to take the vehicle to a mechanic you trust or specialist offering auto electric work or to a dealer. With a vehicle of this age, a good mechanic is very valuable. If you don't have a friend to give you a recommendation, try Cartalk.com , "mechanX files" on the home page. Roy

This sounds exactly like the problem I had with a Maxima alternator. One minute it was putting out 15 volts the next minute 11.5 volts. Three Maxima alternators I had Pep Boys install in a month all had the same problem, bad diodes. Took the car to a Nissan dealer and had them replace it with a factory re manufactured unit, End of problem. Caravan alternators are controlled by the computer.
The a/c fan control lights could be on from the battery being disconnected or going dead. Mine came on when I had the battery changed. I think those lights can also be used to diagnose problems. Dealers can be expensive but the
techs are usually more familar with the cars the dealers sell.
good luck

Anyone else get a recall notice? I received one in the mail yesterday regarding some defective fuel lines (?).
