low battery, won't start and won't go into gear

[pigneguy]

Hi,
Can anyone advise?
AAA just came out as the van wouldn't start. Battery is low they said but it's something else. Can't put the van into gear either so can't push it outta the way. Could this be a solenoid issue regarding the inability to put it into gear. Was trying to install a new stereo today and playing around with wires if that's any help. '89 4x4 Van.
It's done this before but jumped the battery and it was all good to go. Once battery was charged i could shift it into gear and drive. Thanks

the EFI fusible link is blown, hopefully a replacement will start my motor. I assume "female" and "Jcase" fusible amps is what i'm after.

Have a look in the forum by searching some the issues your having, you may find the answer in a existing thread. This way you’ll save time and money on parts you may not need and you’ll be adding more information to the threads that already exist.

Good luck :thmbup:
