My Minivan have always worked pretty good without any trouble. Last night
after dropping someone off from work my battery light came on. I drove it
the rest of the 20 minute drive home and it was fine. I went back out 5
minutes later to pick up a kid from school game and the van would NOT
start for anything. I doubt it has anything to do with this, but I do
want
to mention that I ran over a small "V" shaped metal pipe in the road on
the
way to bring that person to work last night, just in case that might
possibly have something to do with this problem. When we try to start it,
you can hear it turning over, and you can hear a steady ticking noise.
All
lights come on fine. My hubby did say that the radio keeps coming in and
out though like it's not getting a good signal. (Just thought I'd add
that
as you never know what detail might be important.

The starter and cylonoid (sp?) are combined on my model and this morning
we took it off the van and went and had it tested. They said it was still
working but turning slower than it ought to. So we bought a new one for
$140 and just got it on the van and it is still doing the exact same
thing. My hubby has a small battery charger and it shows the battery is
fully charged. I also have a full tank of gas as I filled it up the
previous day, so I know the gas gauge is not faulty.

Please help!

Why would you replace the starter before having the battery load tested?
Chances are the battery is no good with a shorted cell. How old is the
battery?

I would check to see if you have spark and fuel (getting to the injectors).

Get the battery tested. Just because the generic testor at home says it is
charged, does not mean it is a good battery. It probably is shorted out.
Get the battery tested!

And make sure the cables clamp/screw on to the battery tightly, with no
corrosion on either the battery or the cable end. Loose &/or corroded
battery connections can cause all kinds of problems, not the least is
insufficient current to get it started...

well she did say that the battery light came on so that is an
indication that the alt went bad so i would have that checked to

neck.

"You will see clearly, also, the cowardliness and unmanliness of
this law, inasmuch as it sacrifices women to men, the weak to the
strong; that it deprives the woman of all that she has in life, of
liberty, character, law, even of life itself (for it is a process
of slow murder to which she is subjected), for the supposed
benefit of men who are mean enough to avail themselves of this
provision of lust.

"Besides being grossly unjust, as between men and women, this law
is a piece of class legislation of an extreme kind. The position
and wealth of men of the upper classes place the women belonging
to them above any chance of being accused of prostitution. Ladies
who ride in carriages through the street at night are in no danger
of being molested. But what about working women? what about the
daughters, sisters and wives of working men, out, it may be, on
an errand of mercy at night? and what, most of all, of that girl
whose father, mother, friends are dead or far away, who is
struggling hard, in a hard world, to live uprightly and justly
by the work of her own hands,--is she in no danger of this law?
Lonely and friendless, and poor, is she in no danger of a false
accusation fro

and at the moderate reckoning that they are worth three
thousand dollars each, that represents six million dollars in capital;
and at the present time the Japanese traffic is more threatening
to the United States than the Chinese, with which alone this book
deals.[A]

[Footnote A: When we undertook the task of writing this book we
intended to include in it also a representation of the Japanese
slave-trade, but have been obliged to desist for want of space.]

In these latter days, when everything in the business line tends to
take on the form of trusts and combines, bent on defeating all law and
exploiting the common people for gain, it casts a shadow of gloom over
one's spirits to think of capitalists entering so largely upon the
active culture and development of vice for pecuniary profit. This can
no longer be looked upon as an evil due to the frailty of human nature
and the strength of the sex appetite; it is rather the expression of a
greed for gold, and should be actively combated as such. The owners
of property, especially those who have a monopoly in the matter o

what you think. I don't wish to seem to intrude, but I know the man's
reputation as to temper, and I cannot bear to think of his having a
chance to treat you rudely." We thanked her heartily, and promised to
be doubly careful.

We knew the place. A very imposing Government building standing apart
by itself, upon which much money had been expended to give it a fine
appearance. We were soon ushered into the presence of the man who held
the same relation to the work at Singapore that John Lee holds, or at
least held the last we knew, at Hong Kong. Will you believe us, when
we tell you that to our amazement it was that same white-haired old
man to whom we had been introduced at the church gathering as such an
active Christian, "working along much the same lines as ourselves, and
at the head and front of every good work in the Colony?" To be sure we
had heard the name of this Inspector, but we had never in our remotest
conception connected it with the man the Doctor had introduced to us.
Concealing our surprise we sat down for a few moment's interview. The
man knew his lesson "like a book." We could have prompt
