    Had starter tested, and it's fine. When you try starting it, everything comes on, but ignition makes no noise at all.

    I did say the starter I said the start cutout switch.

    OK he did the safety/cutout switch while I was standing there, and still didn't start. You can't jump it, but it does start pushing and popping clutch.

Check the clutch starter safety switch, this is the switch that stops the car from starting if the clutch is not depressed. The switch is activated by the clutch pedal arm.

2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo. The alternator went bad, so I got a new one but when I hooked up the battery the black wire that plugs into the alternator started burning??

Question edited for clarity, add make, fix spelling 'alternator' 'convertible'.
Question moved to model category.

The alternator went bad, you didn't check why, the new one went bad when you installed it?

Mis-wired? New one faulty?

Always diagnose, then fix.

I have 2002 pt . I have no problem with it, started it and put in gear, went to pull out and it shut off, now it won,t start back up, put new battery in, new switch, still nothing,

Possible starter failure if the engine doesn't crank. You can try tapping on the starter motor using a blunt object while turning the key to see if it starts. If it starts, suspect a defective starter motor. If it is a manual transmission, you can push start it in gear

How to reset computer for my 2005 pt cruiser convertable. I put a new battery and now passenger side windows don't go down. Please help

Changing a battery should not affect the power window. The computer will be reset when the battery is disconnected. Sounds like a coincidence. Try banging on the door while operating the window switch to see if it will work again. If not, the door will have to be disassembeled for testing/inspection

Front Passenger window won't go down on 2005 PT Cruiser

Check the switch, swop the switch with the one for the drivers window, if that works it you need a new switch, if not its door card off and test out the motor and power feeds
