My 2000 Dodge Caravan won't start

2000 Dodge Caravan just quit. Replaced the starter and still won't start. We hooked it up to something and it said it was cam sensor. Could not get just sensor so replaced distributor. Still won't start. Motor will not even turn. What is wrong?

Are you saying the engine will not crank, or crank but will not start ?
None of the engine sensors come into play until after the engine is cranking.
Cranking problems can include the neutral safety switch and other factors with the crank circuit back to the key switch.

SOURCE: Replace the front wiper motor 2000 Grand Caravan Dodge

It is on the firewall under the hood. It has 3 to 4 bolts holding on. Be careful when taking it out to see how the new one lines back up. Hope it helps.

SOURCE: 1996 Dodge Stratus stalls when starting

I had this problem with my 99 Durango and went to AutoBeef.com to discover this was a major problem with 98 & 99 Durangos. The fix was easy -- PCM "brain" was exchanged with a refurbished PCM "brain" from an online PCM company in Florida. You can google as I can't remember name of company. I called them and they said - Yep this is the fix -- the guys told me 3 screws all I had gone to several mechanics and dealers -- none could figure it out. I was so grateful that someone gave me the clue I needed.

My 2000 Dodge Caravan will not start

Sounds similar to my old 94 dodge ram. Battery died at least I thought, replaced it and truck would not turn over. After about three hours of playing around I start checking all my wires and connections any loose wires I tighten or replaced if they looked worn or bad. And I found a ground wire was not connected to frame it came loose. Tightened it and hooked battery up and it started.

My 2001 dodge grand caravan sport won't start

DOES THE VEHICLE MAKE ANY NOISE AT ALL WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED?, IF YOU GET A "CLICK" BUT NOTHING ELSE THEN THE STARTER IS JAMMED, GET A HAMMER & GIVE THE STARTER A FEW SOLID FIRM BUT NOT OVER ZEALOUS WHACKS, MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED & TURN THE KEY, IF ITS ANYTHING LIKE ALL THE CARS I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS IT WILL MAGICALLY SPRING TO LIFE - IF IN DOUBT - GIVE IT A CLOUT!!

Caravan won't start after shifter cable replaced

Make sure the transmission range selector switch is adjusted correctly it is the switch just below the shift cable post. Also try to start it in Neutral rather than park position.

Sometimes my 2000 Dodge Caravan won't start but if I turn the AC & Radio off, it"ll start up just fine. Any idea where to look for the problem?

Hi!

I would say its a Battery problem, Which has no strength to start the engine with the other electronics on. Have your battery check if this problem just started. Good luck

sounds to me like a siezed up ac unit.. it would not spin while all other pulleys spin... thus causing the broken belt.. hope that helps you

I replaced the starter and the starter relay and battery in my 1997 3.0 dodge caravan and it still will not start. Some how power is not getting to the starter.

Try routing a jumper cable to the starter terminal where the battery cable goes to & then hook it to your positive bayyery connection. Then try to start it. If nothing happens you have a bad ground connection
