Well.. crap
ECM took the flash just fine- but problem/s persist.
Now we play wiring harness games. And check sensors. Fun

Shitballs.
Are there any model specific forums for your specific model minivan?
Sometimes, such forums have a member or 3 who have e been there and done that and can save a lot.of headaches
RE: LooC (Lucy) - GypsyDogs - 01-27-2023
Thanks Stern.. We will look into it
STM is strangely encouraged by the new assortment of weirdness… lol
And he’s pissed now-
RE: LooC (Lucy) - sternwake - 01-27-2023
Does your house battery system share any chassis grounds?
Ive read.about a starter battery, easily able.to start the engine, but then engine vibrations caused a rapid intermittent .circuit nature inside the battery itself, that caused all.sorts.of havoc with not.only the charging system,.components, which were replaced firat, but then engine computer as well, also.replaced. IIrc they only figured it.out.as it.was.fine.with a lead.acid jumper.pack.comnected, but went apeshit with it removed.
Battery tested fine on carbon pile load tester, and impedance tester and warranty denied, but replacement fixed issue.
Also.if.once.upon a time green or white corrosion wicked uo the battery cable.insulation, then was nicely cleaned, and shined up, by previous.owner, it can wreak all.sorts.of intermittent bizarre havoc invisibly at some.future date. Peel back.a 1/8" of Battery cable insulation to check for.white.or green with black copper beneath.

No- completely separate systems..
STM chewed around under the hood for a while.. kept finding and fixing things and new things cropped up.
He finally tapped out for a while.

Tapped to put a Alternator on one of our big block friends. He’s done my front suspension, me doing the help out thing too and performing kitchen Bitch Duities. Made Kobe beef burgers for those concerned and Jack Daniel’s sloppy Joe sliders for those still Hungary.
Seems a hero stepped out of the dark her name was Jessy but at the same time so did another hero who has the safe amount of power to drag her and the dogs bottom home. Sometimes it takes a village to solve a problem.

Back in the old days of CRVL we called it a "tribe" .
It doesn't seem so much like that over there now......
Why?
Not as huge as that one was , but a truer representation.
The tribe is here.
RE: LooC (Lucy) - GypsyDogs - 01-29-2023
Oh- we be tribe-ing here.
Folks found additional work for my STM, who then took it off my labor costs. Folks gave me rids into town when needed. Folks pitching in ideas from afar. Folks looked out for my stranded self. And folks are going to give me a tow back to my house. Folks be tribe-ing.
And I muchly appreciate each and every one of them!
RE: LooC (Lucy) - rvpopeye - 01-29-2023
Many still look upon us as outcasts....
I look at it as more of a skimming of the cream.
