My 2003 dodge caravan would not start after driving about 1/2 hour. I stopped for coffee and when got back in to start it started I switched gears and it stalled. I tried to start again switched gears then it started but only for 2 sec. No clicking, no cranking sound just would not start but battery functions were great. Spent 2 days with a mechanic who could not resolve so sent to Dodge. After a day of putting wires back and checking out the problem they said it was the computer. Said that it was bad and could be replaced at no charge due to malfunction. Yes, it worked fine afterwards no more problems. They also said that some of the computers are found to be defective like this one so I hope this helps you in the right choice to have the dealer check it out if you are unable to get a computer reading and there is no obvious short in the system. Free sounded very good but as you know there is no such thing as really free as they got me for other things $350 worth. ouch!

I have 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3 turns over but won't start.

Question edited for clarity. Please always quote DTC Codes in full. '129' is not the same as 'P0129'. Single numerical codes are usually computer communication codes.
Question moved to model category.

When you did all this work, did you disconnect the battery?
Did you reset the security system and engine immobilizer?
Is the anti-theft light flashing, flashing fast or on steady?

Dodge Grand Caravan won't start. Replaced ignition and starter tested fine but when I turn key and nothing happens

Check the neutral safety switch on the transmission. It should have three wires on the connector (if I remember correctly). There should be power on the Brown with yellow wire with the key in the crank position. If there is ground that wire and see if the van starts. If it does replace the switch. If it does not check the starter relay. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

My 2006 grand caravan is making a clicking noise when I try to start it. I charged the battery up but it still is clicking. Any ideas? Everything seems to be working it just wont turn over and start.

if the voltage is correct. it may be a bad solinoid for starter, or the starter itself. check and make sure all connections from starter to battery, are clean and tight. with car off, voltage at battery should be at least 12.6 volts or better,engine off, with the engine on and if alternater is ok! it should read at least 14.2-14.6 at battery. good-day!

Bring the new battery back to where you bought it and have them check it. Check that the neutral wire (black) is secure to the engine frame. Also check that the wire ends are clean before reconnecting.

HAVING TROUBLE STARTING

Is the battery over four years old?
No one rebuilds starters,they get a rebuilt from the auto parts store.

Who is they and what are the issues?

I assume the engine turns over,now youv'e had the battery and starter looked at?
It either starts or it doesn't.
Long cranking times before starting, could be a clogged fuel filter or bad fuel pump,but the shop you go to, would know that!!

Test at the spark plug if you are getting current there with a cheap spark plug tester, if not, it could be the spark box. ( it used to be an ignition coil on older cars ) double check the computer for codes which may lead to a cam sensor not giving the PCM information.
