Then I just removed Quest battery took it to AdvancedParts (local auto part store)..they chekd and the machine said it needs recharge (battery was labled 585 CCA and test showing 496 CCA => recharge)...
So the guy put it for recharge, told me to come after 35 minutes. I went back after 1 hour..And he found out that charging machine aborted this charging process...He again tested and now the testing machine said "Bad battery " ...bad cells... can not charge. I took it to other Auto part store (Autozone)..they said its bad battery....Finally I bought New battery and wolllaaa......My baby is running now ....
Wht I learnt ..Just don't go by bettery voltage (I tested using my multimeter)...Just take it to parts store they test for FREE anyways....I would have enjoyed long weekend but I learnt something new so no problem lol . Atleast I can help someone with it...
Guys thanks a lot for your help and time...I sure learnt many things going thru forum. I can sure tell wht part is where in my Van. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year ..Cant appreciate enough the forum support...Great job ...
Sincerely, Pat
