Electrical problem
1998 Oldsmobile V6 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 118000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Couple of days ago the van was a little difficut to start, as if the battery was going bad. The next day the van would not start. I put a charger on. Battery reads 12.2 volts. When trying to start the lights come on bright but go out when I turn the key. Thanks for any help.

I had something close happen to mine. Tighten the battery cables and see if that helps.
