Default Re: Now I'm Worried!

Yep, we sure did, dead as a doornail, battery live, just won't start.

It was my wife's 03, and it turned out to be the battery cables. If it happens again, (before you can change them out) try opening the hood, and gentley tug/pull on the cables, making sure the key isn't in the ignition at the time. Then try to start again. On the wife's car, the weak broken spot was on top of the starter, where the lug was pressed onto the cable.

Actually there are no cables, it is a cable assembly. Chrysler dealers sell it for about $70. and is all one part. Not a big deal to switch out, just put the new one in the way the old one was in.

Good luck, let us know;
