We have a 1997 Chrysler Town & Country LXI and it all of a sudden decided it wasnt going to start anymore. We've changed the starter, electronic ignition switch, and checked fueses and relays. Battery is alos good. It wont even crank, however, there is power to radio and interior lights and dash. There is power going to the starter. Any solutions?

Sounds like an electrical short. Bypass the starter and see if it starts that way. if a manual try and jump start it. if an automatic put it in neutral and run some speaker wire from the positive battery terminal to the ignition wire. Oh first turn the ignition key to start.

Is the starter making any noise when you try? If so have you checked to make sure the motor isn't locked up. If not check the solenoid and the switch that keeps you from starting it when it is in gear. Try putting it in neutral. Good luck.

in the starter wire
