It will be a thin wire that is connected to a flat terminal.   Kris. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2003 3:42 PM Subject: electric problem having a bit of a problem with my new daily driver...120Y Panel Van when I went to start it this morning I turned the key to acessories, all the dash lights came on, then when I turned the key to start the motor there was nothing, no noise or anything but all the dash lights went out till I released the key. I figured flat battery.  the battery has this little coloured light on it that is supposed to tell you how charged it is. The light was bright green indicating 100% charge, but I thought what the hell I'll put it on charge for a few hours anyway. charged it for about 4 hours, battery still indicating 100% charge I threw it back in.  Same thing, nothing happens just lights go out till I release the key. I roll started it down the driveway and went for a cruise...while I was sitting at a set of lights I noticed the face on the cd player going really dim, then when I gave it a rev it lit up bright again. So I figured maybe the alternator. with the car running I took the battery leads off and it kept running...so the alternators charging.   any ideas guys?   Dave --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
