Strange electrical issue on 92 conversion van
Earlier today I had a new Alpine radio with bluetooth, thumb drive, Cd/Mp3, FM, Sirius XM features professionally installed in my 92 van. All the wiring was soldered and shrunk wrapped.
Prior to the installation the van always started with no problem.
When the tech finished the installation, the van started right up and I started home. Radio plays like a dream. I noticed that I was running low on gas and pulled into a gas station.
After fueling up, I turned the ignition key on and...nothing. Didn't turn over and wouldn't start. A good hearted soul came over to help me but jiggling the gear shift, trying to start it in neutral and a couple of other thing that we tried couldn't get the van to start. Finally he got under the van and jumped the starter and it started.
I drove it home and let it run for about an hour to charge the battery (which is nearly new) and then turned it off.
Then I tried to start it again but it wouldn't turn over (and I couldn't hear the bendix engage) and it wouldn't start.
Anyone care to suggest what to try next?
Sorry for the double post but I can't get either one to delete.
