Its a 20 Amp fuse under the hood. Other than this the car has been great. Now I am afraid to take it anywhere. Does anyone have any idea on what to fix? Thanks Dave |
More then likely the starter is causing the problem. keep spare fuses with
you. But sooner or later the fuses will not allow the starter to engage

I probably should have given more detail.
It happens as soon as the ignition key is turned on.
The starter never gets to even try and I don't hear the
fuel pump start up. Not even a click of anything trying,
just the daytime headlights come on. Its almost as though
the fuse blew just as I shut it off the night before.
In your opinion is the starter still the most likely suspect?
Thanks
Dave

Thanks Dave Chrysler made it very difficult for us to check this particular problem out |
by the same fuse. You need to make sure that the fuse blows only when you
turn the key on and not while you try to crank it. when you go to start the
vehicle, turn the key to the run position and look at the fuse, if it is ok,
then go to crank. If the fuse pops while going to the crank position the
starter is normally at fault.
The fact that the fuse only blows when you go to start it and does not
happen as you drive it also tells me the starter is at fault. If the PCM,
Fuel Pump or ASD was the problem the fuse would pop as you are driving and
cut out. I believe this isn't your case correct?

Thanks Dave Chrysler made it very difficult for us to check this particular problem out because they put fuel, spark, PCM and starter on the same circuit, protected by the same fuse.

I ran the test as you described and the fuse blows when I turn the
key to the cranking position.
Thanks again for your help.

I had the same problem with my Cirrus 1995. (Stratus in Holland) I took of
the starter and I saw that the maincable made bad contact to the starter.
(some rust) I cleaned everything and put everything together.I had never
problems anymore.
