Re: mechanic needed need some help with van

Battery in wrong way would have blown most circuits and it wouldn't run at all in modern cars/vans.

One other Q to mantrabooks, is it a petrol or diesel van? Diesels do tend to need a good battery to turn them over and you need towait for teh glow plugs (which may be on their way out)

When you say it doesn't start can you give us more detail, does it turn over or not? Does it even attempt to start or is it totally dead. do all teh other electrics work (Try the lights thing I mentioned earlier)
