Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The battery light came on in my 1997 grand caravan and a couple of minutes later the abs light came on. when i got to work i cut the car off and tried to restart it. it did start but the cut off. then it would not start at all. no dash lights anything. i waited about 3 hours and tried to start it again and nothing happened. when the tow truck came and the driver got in and tried to start it, again it was totally dead. he left the key in the on position while we talked and then about a minute later the dash light came on and he started it. the dealer could not find anything wrong with it. this happened once before about a year ago. on the way to work all the lights came on in the dash and i pulled over and cut the car off. after about 10 minutes i tried it again and it started with no problem. i am concerned that it is a problem with the computer. have you heard of this problem before? *nm
