Like an idiot I left the keys in my van (in the on position) so the battery was completely dead. ( I jump started it from my other car and let it run a while to recharge the battery.
The van (with dead battery) is a full size van, with a 5.4L V8, the other car I used to jump it was a small 4 cylinder. So when I connected the cables the van wouldn't turn right away. I let it sit for a while with the car running, tried again and the van still didn't have enough power, so I revved the car engine for a bit, then the van started and I disconnected the cables.
After letting the van run about 10 minutes I shut it off and tried to re-start. It tried to crank but didn't have enough power, so I jumped it again and let it run longer. Now the van starts fine, but I noticed the "ABS" light flashes once when I start the van and stays on.
Is it possible that I fried something in the van's electrical system while jumping it? Also, any info on what typically causes the ABS light to come on?
The van is a 2003 Ford E350 12 passenger with 5.4L V8.
