Dear no power

there is likely one problem with many possible solutions - alternator gave up diodes died voltage regulator gave up wires have come undone ground is faulty - fuse or fuse block - alternator belt broke or is slipping - alternator requires tighter hold on van - Battery is juicing and not holding juice -

just before the turn up to crystal mt. maybe saved you from a life of dependency- naw just kidding you gots a vanagon - your done -

good luck i hope you can fix it regards
