| | | 2003 Dodge Neon Won't start
2003 Dodge neon will not start. Lights and everything work good, but when the key is turned the engine will not turn over. There is no click or any noise from the engine compartment so it doesn't sound like the starter. Just getting some ideas from the more experienced before I start digging into this.

| Fuses are easy, would do first. A Test light will help to see if power to relays, and on starter to see voltage present.
Move shift lever around while in park and neutral. |

| . Remove and fully charge/replace the battery.
. Clean battery terminals and cable connections. After charging/replacing the battery, ensure connections are tight.
. Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter, if the problem persists: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cars-tr...tml#post252145
. Read the link below, if the engine still doesn't crank: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cars-tr...tml#post235560 | |

| Well I went this morning to take a look at the car. Tried to give it a start to see what I hear and viola, it started right up. My wife said the car died on her after she started it up and went to back out of her parking spot. Right now no issues with it. Weird. My explorer did the same thing. Display went all funky and it wouldn't start. So I had it towed to the dealership since it was still under warranty. When they went to try and start it in the morning it too fired right up. | |

| Well I've done a look around the neon and nothing is looking amiss. Battery is clean and everything looks connected nice and tight. | |

| Connections are tough to see, It will take a Meter or test light to see where voltage is not making it. | |

| I would check all fuses first, also need to check voltage to Starter when Key Turned.
I'm sure you're in Neutral. | |
