      Sorry to inform y'all, but God doesn't make cars start. It generally entails fuel, spark and combustion.
      Anthony seemed to think it had to do with his electronic key fob, which would fall under spark. So does a dead battery.
      Anthony was smart to not let his battery go completely dead. That's why he was able to jump it with the Noco jump box.
      * Y'all should be aware that even though a jump box will usually jump a dead battery, it won't if the battery is so dead that the jump box doesn't recognize it. If That's the case you'll need to use a battery charger to get enough charge into the battery to allow the jump box to recognize it.

    Anthony you might want to consider getting AAA. It’s not that expensive and would definitely save you money if you ever have to get your vehicle towed. Also good for battery charges, tire issues, ect. Also, hope you take your mini-van to a service station and get a diagnostics on it just to make sure nothing else is bad on the vehicle. Especially since you recently purchased it.

      Unfortunately some dealerships will not reimburse you for the repairs because they sale the cars as is no warranty. That is the messed up thing that is why I don't like buying used sometimes. But I have ran across a dealership that did reimburse me for a battery I had to replace when I bought my car from them. He was the only dealership that did that. But also I bought two cars from him and paid cash for them.

    One thing my uncle ALWAYS told us after you buy your car is:
    New battery
    New tires if they are not so new
    Service it
    Change all your fluids and
    Scan your car for some other problem that might arise.
    This always I did with all my cars I bought.
    Once battery problems start you better buy a new battery. If the new one goes South you now it could be your alternator. And the list goes on.

    Hey Anthony! I love your videos. I’m more of an observer than a commenter, but after watching this i just had to jump on to mention That if your key fob ever does stop working, just know that there should be an original key inside the fob. You should be able to pull the end that has the key chain ring on it and the actual key will be attached to that end. There should be a small lever or button on the Fob that releases it.
    Maybe you already knew this, but if not you do now😊

    Hey Anthony, it would be a good idea for you to have your battery checked to make sure that it has full power before you hit the road traveling. You need to take the car in for a full check up from where you purchased it from because the check engine light should not be on just from the battery. Also let me suggest that you keep that battery charger with you while traveling, and it’s always a good idea to have AAA.

    • @romanroseborough1111
      @romanroseborough1111 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the check engine light on is concerning for just having purchased the van recently. Battery should nit affect the "check engine light". I'd take that in to get checked. Unfortunately people reset that when they sell vehicles which causes the light to shut off without actually fixing the problem. Just something to think about. 🙏🏽

    Invest in a roadside service; AAA has a good, yearly plan that is not that expensive. It will give you an additional sense of security.
    Take your car back the same way you took back that chicken. Even if you decide to keep it, you paid a lot of money for it. You deserve to be satisfied.

    You better get the van checked out find out what is killing the battery

  • @LeslieSoden
    @LeslieSoden 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i learned the hard way with my rav4 that if i leave the doors open for any length of time (even with dome lights off) it will drain the battery! so i had a fellow campuer save with me a battery jump and i immediately drove to the store and bought a battery jumper to keep in my own car.

    That’s one of the issues with van life - if the vehicle breaks down it’s a real panic because not only does it impact your transportation but also your home. I was glad to see that the battery going out happened in a convenient location where you didn’t have to tow and you could go to a repair shop

    Glad you're back on the road. Changing out batteries is easy and will save you the labor cost. I'm a woman of a certain age and often change the batteries is my vehicles. Got tired of paying the shops and thanks to YT I can do a lot of basic maintenance.

    @dollarvan13 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'm not one to tell a grown man what to do but... You have too many keys on your key fob. The keys weigh down the key fob while it's in the ignition which can damage the starting mechanism.
