Some Dodge Caravan owners report experiencing issues with their vehicle not starting, even after installing a new alternator and battery. These problems may stem from a faulty alternator that fails to provide sufficient power to the battery, hindering the engine's ability to start. Additionally, issues with the battery cables can prevent the Caravan from starting altogether. Some owners also find that a faulty starter motor can be the culprit, as it may prevent the engine from cranking. Furthermore, flaws in the electrical system, such as a blocked fuel filter or other electrical issues, could contribute to the starting problems. Before dismissing the battery as the cause, it is essential for owners to test it, as a weak or dead battery can lead to starting difficulties despite having a new alternator. Systematic troubleshooting of these potential causes is crucial for identifying the reason behind the power loss and starting issues.
