About a few weeks back my vehicle would not start and would only make a clicking noise when the ignition was turned on. I was told it was either a bad battery or starter solenoid so I had them both tested at OReilly's and was told the starter so I bought a brand new starter and solenoid and installed it, still nothing but a clicking sound. Stumped I took it to Big O Tires yesterday to have them look at my car and they told me it was my battery so I had a new one put in by them and it seemed to fix the problem my car started every time I went to fire it up. That is until this morning when I went to start it I turned the ignition and there was no sound at all, my radio and dash lights work just fine. What could be the problem?? I highly doubt my ignition switch went bad in one day and it could be my alternator thats causing the problem or just a dead battery I have no idea. Does anyone have any legitimate answers?

Dirty cables could cause this problem. If all that is good then you want to get the charging system checked to make sure it's charging & also check to make sure there isn't a draw on the system, draining the battery while the car sits... madintrepidowner New User Oct 28, 2012, 2:50 PM Post #3 of 5 (3545 views) Re: 2002 Dodge Intrepid Wont Start Sign In Okay thanks! I'm definitely going to take it back in to Big O tomorrow to have them fix the problem. From the information I gave you an alternator doesn't sound like the problem correct? Just ruling out some possibilities.

If you have a volt meter, you could do a quick test to see if it's charging....Just hook up the meter leads to the jump terminals on the engine (or battery terminals if you can get to them) and with the engine running, the voltage should be in the 14v range if it's charging. If it's in the 12v range while running, then that would be a problem... madintrepidowner New User Oct 28, 2012, 4:11 PM Post #5 of 5 (3491 views) Re: 2002 Dodge Intrepid Wont Start Sign In I don't have a volt meter but I will definitely invest in one for the future and thanks for the help!   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
