I have 1999 Dodge Stratus, 2.4 L Automatic, 106k Mi. WPN R Cold Air Intake System. I have not been able to get it to start, tried boosting it nothing, changed the battery still nothing. Lights will come on but the gauges on the dashboard will not move at all but he brake light will come on though. The Middle Console with the radio/cassette player will not come on or air conditioning. I am assuming it is something electrical now. Checked the fuses with the key in the ignition in the on position, I pulled out the fuse to the ignition switch and my car chime started ringing. I still have no clue what might be going on, tried to start it in different positions such as Park, Neautral, Reverse etc... switching back.

check the ground connection between the engine block and the battery
SOURCE: 2004 Stratus won't start. No clicking or sound when turn key.
my Buick did all those things and I had water in the oil and probably in a cylinder or two from what I judge was a cracked block from freezing, Gave it away.

have someone check your BCM [body control module]. the dealer can do it. if it's bad, none of this stuff will work no matter how many fuses or rewiring you try.

It could be a battery or starter problem. Most auto parts places will test your battery for free. But since you cannot start the vehicle...you can also buy an inexpensive battery tester (bulb/ball float) to see if it is fully charged. Check each cell of the battery. Sometimes it is bad connections on the batteries. Take off and clean the battery post and connections with an inexpensive battery cleaner brush.
The starter has two components: The Solenoid and the Starter Motor. Two cylindrical shaped components. The small component is the solenoid, the larger is the starter.
To check the Starter you can short jump the Starter by bypassing the solenoid. With a helper trying to start, you can run a short medium gage insuated wire from the positive side (red) of the solenoid to the body of the starter. If this starts the Van then the solenoid is bad and the entire Starter must be replaced (about $70-remanufactured)
Let me know if this help or if you need any additional help.
