My 1999 Dodge Stratus won't Start

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.

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.

Car won't start 2003 Dodge Stratus sxt coupe cranks but won't start what could b the problem? I tried spraying starting fluid in the air system but it still won't start!

i would check and see if spark pluges are firing. you can take one out and plug into spark plug wire then let the bottom of the plug sit on engine and get someone to try to start while you look at the plug to see if there is any fire. if you have no fire or fuel it would be the crankshaft sencer. it could be the timing belt but the motor would sound different turning over then it used to.

01 dodGe stratus. Starts then dies. When it sits overnight I canfire Otho like there wasn't ever a problem but the when I turn it off or even drive for a bit it dies ignores I turn the key off and

Probably loses either gas or spark. So check fuel pressure when it won't start, and check for spark on a plug wire. If fuel pressure is low, probably a bad pump. If no spark, diagnose the ignition system: coils, ignition coil control module (ICM), crank position sensor, etc.

An easy way to see if you lost gas, is to spray carb cleaner or starting fluid into the air intake while cranking engine. If it rumbles and tries to start, you know it is a fueling problem.

How do i jump my 1997 dodge stratus

  • Ensure your Stratus's ignition is in the "Off" position, and turn off anything that uses battery power, such as lights, radio and heater blower. Park the booster car close enough to the dead car that you can connect the jumper cables to both batteries, but make sure the two vehicles aren't touching. Connect one red (+) clamp of the cables to the booster battery's positive terminal. Connect the other red clamp to the Stratus' "Remote Terminal." The terminal is located next to the air filter assembly, and is marked with a "+" and the word "Positive." Dodge uses these remote terminals to reduce the risk of explosion caused by sparks near the battery. Connect one of the black (-) cable clamps to the negative terminal on the booster battery. Connect the other black clamp to the negative "Remote Terminal" on the Stratus, located on the opposite side of the air filter assembly from the positive terminal. It is a marked with a "-" and the word "Negative."Start the booster car, if not already running, and apply slight pressure to the gas pedal to make it idle faster. Wait a few minutes and attempt to start the Stratus. If it cranks a little, but still won't start, continue charging the battery. Once the Stratus starts, leave it running and disconnect the jumper cables in reverse order of the way you attached them.

    1999 dodge stratus car runs for awhile then dies check engine light comes on code P0505

    P0505: Idle Air Control System

    There is a small motor that controls the amount of air the engine gets when you aren't using the throttle. The computer uses this small motor to control your idle. It sounds like it needs to be replaced. You can try cleaning it first with some throttle body & air intake cleaner.
