check all connections would be a start to a possible quick fix. Then would be to check if you are getting charge to the battery with a volt meter. If you dont have any meters then a cheap quick inspection can be done at your local kragen i believe. Call them and they should have an electrical system tester that can test your van in the parking lot(starter battery and alternator) for FREE. This can help diagnose the problem quickly without having to buy a new alternator battery etc and without having to remove each part to get it separately tested.
