Dead battery?

Thanks, I'll check it out.

My husband forgot to turn the headlights off after using the van yesterday around 3pm and the van was not used again until this morning around 5am. When I turned the key the headlights and radio and internal lights were working but the car made a clicking noise and would not crank. I turned everything thing off and then waited a few minutes and tried again and it cranked up slowly. I left it running for about 20 minutes or so and then drove it about 2 hours before returning home. Once I got home I waited about 10 minutes and then I tried to crank it again and it cranked with no problems like normal. Is there need for me to worry about this? Could it just have been a low battery? Should I still get it checked out because of further problems?

The reason it was clicking is because their was to much strain on the battery with everything turned on ( Not enough power ). Nothing to worry about for next time as long as your alternator is working your battery should be good and charged.

Van starts sometimes and runs fine sometime it dies and sometimes it just clicks by fuse box whats wrong?

Electrical problem
2004 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Automatic 85000 miles

Went to start car and it did not turn over, made ticking noise and all the needles on gauges on dash went completely over to right then back to off posistion. Got boost start with no problems and drove it for 4 days without any futher problems. No warning lights appeared and unsure if internal light had been left on causing battery to run low. Today went out driving in the morning, went to go out again 2 hrs later and the same problem. No lights left on. No problems boost staring again and after running for 15 min continues to start fine. Has original battery. Is this caused by old battery or some other reason.

My battery is not completely dead but doesn't have enough power to start engine. After jumped and car ran for about 20 minutes and when shut off didn't have enough battery power to start engine again. Had dealer check new battery of 1 month who reported battery still good. Break lights sometimes stick and dealer stated even if you don't see the break lights on but pedal on a bit it would still drain battery. What else could that be besides dead battery and do you really think by the break pedal sticking a bit but not enough to see actual break lights on, could drain the battery to make it dead enough to not have enough power to start car? Thanks!

Its cold and the starter just clicks

I can be driving along, and the engine cut off. No jerks, nothing, I only know because acceleration doesn't work. After I coast to a stop, it takes about 2 min to start it back up. During this time, the engine does not turn over, nothing happens when I turn the key. Nothing. Then after about 2 minutes it just starts and goes on as if nothing was wrong, and may not happen for another month. It only happens in cold weather, I though -10C but today it happened at 1C first thing in the morning. A little scary on a highway on a curve, amazed I am still alive! I am in a 2001 Dodge Caravan 3.3L V6 engine not Grand Basic SE with many miles. Has done it since 2003 but it is now my darling daughter who is affected and so now it matters. Chrysler has not been able to replicate or fix the problem. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is mighty scary.

I can put the emergency flashers on while I am waiting for it to start back up, so electrical is good, it is just the engine that will not start

No, I am usually on a highway, my only thoughts are to get the hell out of the way and stay alive! To be perfectly acurate, I wouldn't know how to do this in any case.
