My 2003 pt cruiser wont start

The cars lights and radio come on. But it won't start. We've replaced the starter relay, the ignition switch, starter cylynoyed, relay fuses. we just don't know what else could be the problem. The starter was fine when we sent it in to get checked. Someone please help!!!

It sounds like you have no idea on how to test automotive electrical system's , just replace parts . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop. There are no magical fixes , looking at wiring diagrams an testing electrical circuit's with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter is the proper way to diagnose automotive electrical circuit's . Plus looking at the instrument cluster for warning light's , SECURITY system - anti-theft etc....Because these will keep the vehicle from starting . Hook up a professional type scanner to see if all the control modules on the vehicle will communicate with the tool . A shorted data bus wire , module etc... will also keep the vehicle from starting . Plus you don't discribe the problem correctly .Turning the key to start an nothing happening is a no-crank - no start condition , turning the key to start an the starter engages an spins the engine over - is a crank - no start .

SOURCE: i have a 2002 chrysler pt cruiser and my radio

Try to take the radio out and look at the fuse in the rear of the radio. You have 2 fuse locations one at your left knee and the other under the hood near the battery. Look in the owners manual for this fuse type, because some fuses work the same thing. Another thing could be that you have an anti-theft radio and it will not work with out you entering a code. The code is on the radio it-self or you have to contact the dealer with the vin number.......runjoe

SOURCE: My 98 jeep grand cherokee wont start.

fuse 8 40a supplies power to starter relay and ignition switch, to close the starter solenoid and engage the starter which draws directly from the battery. check to see that the starter relay is closing, if not ensure that the park neutral switch is not faulty (open circuit), it provides path to close relay (ground side) on the 85 - 86 terminals. if the starter relay does not close the starter will not run. if you have a spare relay swap out the relay for a quick fix attempt. hope this helps

2005 pt cruiser won't start won't crank, everything works

When you turn the key on the ASD relay should turn on the fuel pump and power the injector, Do this lets cheat the system go to the ASD rely open the cover expose the inside have some one turn the key on does the ASD make contact? If not turn the key on collpase the ASD so it make contact do you hear the fuel pump come on? Now try this just as how you iopen the ASD do the same to the starter relay. Put the car in gear e brake on someone in the vehicle in case the car start and you are in front of it and it runs you over so at least they step on the brakes. Key on ASD exposed as your collapse the starter relay does the ASD relay turn on? Here why if you can control all the relay from under the hood you will need a ignition switch (the eletrical part)

My 2004 chrysler pt cruiser non turbo 2.4 liter has been having battery issues. now it wont start, and the ignition will not turn over at all. the lights and radio work in the car, and ive tried jumping...

Testing the starter electrical circuits is how to find the problem . Viewing wiring diagrams to see what all is involved in the starting of your vehicle ? Most vehicles have a starter relay that is energized by the PCM/ECM - engine computer . B+ voltage comes from the ignition switch going through the starter relay control side to the PCM - which will ground that circuit turning on the relay sending B+ voltage to the S terminal on the starter solenoid .
Do you know what a automotive relay is an how to test ? How to test for B+ voltage at the starter ? How to use a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter your vehicle info. year , make , model and engine size. Under system click on engine ,then under subsystem click on charging system . Click the search button then the third blue link , this is the starter electrical circuit . This diagram doesn't show the park neutral safety switch input to the PCM . Speaking of the park neutral switch , put transmission in neutral an see if it starts then , could be the switch is bad .

Pt wont start or turn over

try to get a jump from a friend and see what happens, does the same, faulty starter, may need replacing, try to use small hammer and tap lightly on the starter couple time and have a friend start the car while you tap lightly on it. check ignition switch where you stick the key in. stick the key in the ignition and turn the key back and forth jiggle and wiggle it and see if your igniting will make contact. do it several time to test and see if its the ignition problems, this part is not cheap to replace.

Pt cruiser turn key wont start nothing horn lights work battery ok

I had the same problem.does your key spring back? If it doesn't take out your tumbler remove your starter ignition switch,held on by one srew,remove top and bottom plasticcouple screws,two screws on top to remove blinker switchs and lights.under tumbler casing two small screws hold shift cble remove that and in between starter switch and tumbler the rest off your ignition. remove this at the more than likely at the end the soft metal has broken so instead off it having a square end it's rounded so it can't turn your ignition you will have to replsce that unit .goodluck It has been a real pain in the *** trying ti figure it out.
