Asked by Becca1979 Dec 30, 2016 at 08:36 AM about the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan SE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The can has a new battery however if it sits for a
couple days it won't start I can turn it over and all
the lights come on and there is no noise. Also if I
turn the key all the way back like when your gonna
use just the battery it goes dark no lights. So then
if I get a jump it will start right away and I can
immediately turn it off and then turn it right back
on just fine. What could be causeing this
issue?????
