200 grand caravan 3.3. Ran fine. Shut it off, now won't start. Sounded like dead battery (crazy clicking). Jumped it *positive, then pos. on oher car, then neg on engine, then neg on other car). It started, drove home. died when I truned on headlights, gauges where going crazy etc. Tested battery, it was bad. Installed new battery, now it won't turn over, the radio doesn't work, nor does the overhead trip computer but the crazy clicking sounds are gone. Can't figure this one out.

Most likely you have a bad battery. The second option is that you have a faulty wiring and there is a constant load that takes a lot of power, but it does not make a short circuit. Check the electrical relays, maybe it's in them.

bad battery or altenator

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.

The first thing you need done is to thave the properly battery tested with a special tool. Most parts stores dop this test for free.

Possible causes are: 1. Loose or corroded battery cables. 2. Bad starter 3. Dead battery. Try tapping on the starter with a hammer while someone is holding the key in the start position. If it starts then replace the starter. Thanks

Check to see if you have spark at the coil. If you have spark at the coil and no spark at the plug, you probably have a bad distributor cap and/or rotor.

If there is no spark at the coil, you need to find out if there is voltage present at the B+ terminal of the coil.
No B+ could be anything from a bad ASD relay to a broken wire or burned fusible link.

If B+ voltage is present at the coil, the "NO-SPARK" condition could be caused by anything from a bad Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) to a bad Ignition Control Module (ICM) To a bad Electronic Control Unit ((ECU) - AKA Engine Control Module)

how old is your battery,have you tried a new one?Sometimes a really stuffed battery also interferes with the ECU,and can result in switching things on and off.

sounds like the alternator has stopped charging or has bad connection at battery

Typical problem on these. The starter relay is probably the culprit,
