I have just installed a new radiator on a 97 dodge neon stick-shift. As I went to try and start mt car, it made a humming noise and nothing else. I checked my battery and it has power and is not weak. What could the problem be?

Best check to make sure none of the wires going to the starter are disconnected or damaged.

If the negative battery cable has "burned up", it will often act like a starter or battery issue, which it obviously is. If necessary, do both cables at the same time. If something got wet during the repair IE wiring harness of some type,it may just need time to dry off, and then, of course, replacement.

more than likely you have a bad connection on your ground wire either the connection at the battery or where it is grounded at the frame or at the starter.your battery can be fully charged and run all your accessories fine but it pulls a lot of jct to the starter to start it and if wires are lose or dirty at ant of the connections it will not pull enough power to crank the starter over try moving and playing with the wires from the battery especially the ground good luck

If the battery terminals and cable connectors haven't been removed and cleaned with a wire brush for a long time, take them off and clean them. They may not be making a connection good enough to run the starter motor even though you can turn your headlights on ok.

You may have a bad starter solenoid.
