There’s a one way selenoid between the front and back batteries, it’s controlled by a live wire in the van. When it’s running. It trips the selonoid and charges the rear. I suppose I could disconnect rear and see if it makes a difference but again, the randomness with which this happens makes it sup...

2003 van... A few weeks ago I swapped the reverse lights for led bulbs. A day or two later I went to drive it and it was completely dead. I thought maybe I just didn’t shut a door all the way or left a light on, so I jumped it, no big deal. Ever since then it will randomly just drain itself. I got a...

Super strange. The rear light sockets are pretty jacked up. They're black and slightly melted, although they a...
