Just wanted some advice before I start on these chores.
Symptom-Slow cranking/no cranking new starter and battery drain and ignition
switch going out.

I am going to check the grounds from alt to chassis and from tranny to
chassis.  I wanted to run new battery cable to alt, but Bently says you have
to remove the gas tank to do this properly.  Is this true?

Ignition switch-pg 94.2....Is this the only way to go about this?  Fig 2
needs a special tool. (I got two of these switchesso I will have a backup).

Fan switch in dash.  Speed 3 does not work unless I lightly touch the
switch.  I got a new one and need to know if this can be checked/replaced
without removing the dash?

Lastly, I got a new cigarette lighter socket(with green illumination).  Mine
is a little loose.  Can this be done without removing the dash?

Well, that's it.  It's raining so I cannot work on the grounds today, but
thought I would take the main battery out and have it checked while I work
on the switches today inside the van. I appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
