Why wont the car start? 1997 Chrysler Town & Country van - won't start. Was sluggish starting for a couple of days. Put a trickle charger on battery. Shows battery is charged. Now when we tried to start it, it just makes a clicking sound and won't start. Battery and alternator were checked showing they are good. Starter problem?

2003 Chrysler Town & Country CODE P1698

My wife has a 97 town and country. For about 2 weeks the instrument panel
was going out then coming back on. A couple days ago it got bad. The van would start and run only several seconds then the engine would shut down.
I took the Instrument panel out and it started and stayed running. I pulled the
PC board found the bad Soder connections and resodered them. Problem
was gone and the P1698 code erased. Best thing is it did not cost me anything and the van is fixed !

you need to put a scanner on it and see what code comes up.
my guess would be the crank sensor which is very common .

I cannot start my 1997 chrysler town & country minivan. When I try to start it I get a "alarm set" reading. It starts for a minute then cuts off. HELP. I AM STRANDED.

I have a 97 Chrysler Town & Country Van with 104000 miles on it. The past two months the van will not start and run after driving for a while. Let it set for about an hour and it will start and run fine. When it does not want to run it will start and run for about 5 seconds then quit. During this time the dash instruments will not display but the radio, windows, and lights work just fine. The battery was replaced with in the past month so I don' t think that is the problem. Any seggestions?

Cranks but won't start

Check to see if you have a humming sound for a few seconds when you put the key in "on" position. If not, check the fuel pump relay. Just swap it out with one that looks the same. The A/C relay is the same. If it starts, replace the relay. If you replace the relay and it still doesn't start. most likely the fuel pump module has failed. The fuel pump module is located insde the fuel tank.
