My vanagon almost went up in flames! The starter shorted out and caused the
positive cable leading from the battery to fry. Almost took the rest of the
van with it! I now will have to replace the battery cable and the starter
selonoid. I hope it is just the selenoid. The starter is just to expensive.
It doesnt look like i will have to replace anything else. My question is: Has
anyone had experience with this, and what may have caused this? The battery
is new, the old one wouldnt keep a charge and I replaced it. This time with
the correct one! Yesterday I drove the van and it started to cut out on me.
