Something's wrong with our van. It seems like the battery's dead, but nothing seems to be on to have drained the battery. I think I know what's causing the problem, but I have no idea what it is. I'll do my best to describe it:
When sitting inside, you hear this weird noise sorta like a cross between a clicking and grinding except higher pitched. I popped the hood and it's definitely louder, but I can't seem to pinpoint it. It almost sounds like the starter is constantly trying to turn the engine over or something.
I hope it's something simple but I doubt it. I just wanted to get some thoughts before I call AAA and have it towed. I'd rather not have the expense of fixing it if it turns out to be something simple. Stupid POS Dodge. Craps out at 37,000 miles (warranty ended at 36K).![[?|]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_banghead.gif "Bang Head [?|]")
