My 1996 Dodge Intrepid 3.3L won't start?

1996 dodge intrepid!! wont start,crank,nothing!!!?

  • i have a 1996 dodge intrepid that ran beautiful!!then i went out to listen to the radio while cleanin the car and then i tried to start it the next day and nothing but a very lite click in th relay box at the starter relay any ideas?? plaese help!!

  • Answer:

    it probably got the battery in it, chrysler runs an amplifier on most of their stereo systems now and it makes them use more voltage than it use to and it will kill a good battery in a few hours,id try charging it back up and see if that helps it,i killed mine in less than 3 hours doing the same thing the other day,and its a fairly new battery,if it don't charge back up it may be time to replace it,good luck.

If you have a battery charger, recharge the battery. If not have the car jump started and let the car run to recharge. Have the battery load tested after it is charged. If it is weak, replace it. If it passes the load test, it does not need to be replaced.

Before racing down to blow $50+ on a new battery, get your tool kit out. Find the black wire going to the battery. Loosen the clamp, remove it, set it aside. Do the same for the red wire. Now clean both the battery posts and the inside hole on the inside of the battery wire clamps. They have a tool for this, like a wire brush thingy called a battery post cleaner (duh,) but you can use steel wool. Get 'em nice and shiny. Put the red wire back on first, don't kill yourself but get it tight enough so the clamp doesn't slide around, then repeat the process for the black wire. If it doesn't start up, have someone JUMP START the car, start it and let it run. It will probably recharge enough to stay running for a few weeks, but plan on replacing the battery soon. This is a bad time of year if your battery is "on the edge." Cold temperatures reduce a battery's ability to hold a strong charge. You probably drained it past the line listening to the radio.

Sounds like you ran the battery dead. If it went dead just listening to the radio it is probably getting weak and needs to be replaced.
