    When the van is idling, does the battery have at least 14 volts? If not the charging system is not working. I think that there is a voltage regulator on the firewall on these, I know I have replaced several on dodge vans. Again, if you don't have 14 or so volts at idle ( lights off, no heater motor on, no radio, no wipers etc ) your battery is not being charged properly and it WILL go dead.
