the problem i have is when its cold and damp when i come to start the van all i get is a clicking sound and the engine wont turn over , i have power to lights and windows but no engine turn over the led light thats connected to the immobolizer goes out . ive checked the battery and its charges up and holds charge and cleaned the battery connections.
