From the collective wisdom of this list I have
"learned" that on all vanagons the alternator does not
charge till the van is reved a bit, then the LED
alt/battery light goes out when the alt startes
charging the battery.  Some say this is so that in
(German) winter, the van can start more easily without
the drag of the alternator.  ie the van will run off
the battery for a few minutes till warm, then recharge
the battery when driving.  But I'm no expert.  m2cw.
