Car needs to be jumped or will not start

2008 Grand Caravan 3.8 SXT
car stalled driving, or starter dead 6am,

IF runs is the Charge/battery/gen , cluster lamp off
1: the batter lugs clean and tight, first.
2: fuses good
3: stater motor dead/ (silent, clicks , chatters or?)
HEad lamps are first
they work even no key near the car they work even engine missing.
so when HL fails the battery is dead
no battery ever lasted 15 years, is it?
my wild guess is this is battery #2nd one failure day!
died at 6/7 years now again. ( common as nails)
or alternator is/was dead, and now the battery is dead
or just DISCHARGED

4: so call AAA TOW AND ASK FOR A JUMP
OR BUY YOUR OWN JUMPER CABLES AND JUMP START IT/
OR CALL MOBILE AUTO TECHS. YP.COM

ONCE STARTED WE CHECK THE ALTERNATOR NEXT.
OR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN FAST.

MOST FOLKS JUST DO #4

tHIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SOLENOID IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY

You have the battery and the alternator and the alternator belt and if they are working fine there must be something that is draining the battery. You need an auto electrician to check what the drain is. In such cases,on various vehicles, the BCM, body control module, proves to have something to do with it. Get A GOOD AUTO ELECTRICIAN to check if there is a particular component
draining the battery

You have a defective battery.

common car for starter problems hit the starter with a hammer while someone trys to start it if this works it is ure starter, if not the stater and neutral safety switch needs tested

alternator has nothing to do with a car starting. All it does is charges the battery. If the battery is good and charged then you most likely left a sensor unhooked or you did not disconnect the battery to replace the alternator and popped a fuse or possilby damaged a computer if a short occured.

I doubt the boost would have effected the starter at all,but the battery may have seen it` last days,but,also,I would be more concerned about checking the alternator,and make sure it is charging correctly with the new battery.Checked at the battery,with headlights on,and ac on high blower setting,it should read 13.65 volts,to 14.255 volts,anything less is not good.

sounds like there is heavy resistance in your start solenoid first try cleaning the stater & battery terminals if that fails replace the start solenoid

check the wire from alt to stater probably has a fuseable link fried 9 out of ten times

The battery "jumper terminals" are in the engine bay on the right side. You have to remove the black steel cover plate by removing the 3 screws, then you'll find the terminals. The positive terminal is marked red, unless your previous owner has resprayed the engine bay.
Be careful if you are 'jumping' the battery; the power source has to be even. If you can not use a boost pack and have to use jump leads from another car, make sure the other car engine is switched off - you can damage the management system
