    I went to start my van last week, and the engine almost started, but
    then a series of clicks. The power doors did work when I opened them,
    but I had to close manually. Tried to jump-start, but battery
    wouldn't take a charge. Is this a battery or alternator problem?

    Most likely a bad battery. You should still be able to jump it though. Get
    jumper cables that are at least 6 gauge or thicker.

    sounds like your battery is no good, i wouldnt waste my time jumping it , i
    would just get a ride to the store and get a new battery.

    After you replace the battery check that the alternator is working. Turn
    headlights on and check voltage with the engine running about 1500 rpm.
    Output should hold at about 14.5 volts,,,,
