Check your battery voltage at rest, should be 12.6 volts or very close to that. Anything much lower indicates a discharged battery. I'd have your battery load tested at a local parts store or even WalMart before anything else.

 

I had the battery tested at the local parts store, it's fine. On a later trip, the two lights came on permanently indicating the battery was no longer being charged. That's most likely a bad alternator. I made it 60 miles on just the electricity in the battery. When I pulled into my garage, the rest of the dashboard lights came on indicating the voltage had dropped too low to run the van any more. Got lucky on that one.

I put the van on a battery charger until I had time to order a remanned alternator from RockAuto. I took it to the garage this morning to get the swap done.

 

How did the swap go? Everything working now?

 

I did a long drive over the weekend and everything ran like normal. Rock Auto has the old one so I should get my core charge back soon.

Thanks for asking.
