#107 of 116 Re: battery won't hold charge [edmond8] by spike99 May 28, 2009 (5:14 pm)
Replying to: edmond8 (May 19, 2009 11:06 am) For some good info (that might help your van), surf:   http://www.misterfixit.com/dedbatt.htm Note: Needed to replace factory wire with a thicker wire. If wondering, I read about this wire replacement (with thicker wire) several different times. Thus, sounds like an undocumented "common" problem.   http://answers.edmunds.com/ViewQuestion.aspx?questionId=44507& See TSB (Bulletin No.: 01-08-45-005E) on its reply.   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f101976 Bad Alternator - it needed to be replaced.   Hope this info helps...   .

Replying to: edmond8 (May 19, 2009 11:06 am) if that's the result of ground cable solved the battery charge, where does the cable goes from & to also what gauge of cable recommend as we have same van & same problem? The service at deale accused the alternator twice on different times & i refused the part replacement. Let me know & thank Jesse

Replying to: ratpoisonnbro (Sep 21, 2009 12:35 pm) Think I've seen   "10 inch piece of 10 gauge wire in place of the burned connector" at bottom of:   http://www.misterfixit.com/dedbatt.htm   Not too sure if this "fix" will resolve your vehicle's electrical problem. But, its worth reading....   Hope this helps...   .
