The wife can't start the van. Battery is dead. I charge the battery over night but it just groans a little.
Take battery with me to work and get a new battery this morning.
I install new battery in van and still no go. Dome lights don't even come on.Yep, postive cable to positive and neg to neg. I get out my 12 volt tester and no light when I touch the cable ends. It lights when I stick it on the top of the posts.
This is where stupid happens. I look and see that I forgot to take the plastic cover off the negative terminal before I installed the cable. DUH!!! Problem solved.
