Problem overview

Some Chrysler 200 owners report experiencing starting issues that are temporarily resolved by reconnecting the battery terminals. Common causes for these problems include a weak battery, which may produce clicking noises and fail to start if it lacks sufficient charge to power the starter. Additionally, corroded battery terminals can lead to poor connections, and cleaning them may help resolve the starting difficulties. Intermittent issues with the starter motor or solenoid can also contribute to starting problems, particularly after short drives. Furthermore, electrical system faults, such as faulty wiring or connections, may play a role in these starting issues. If the problem persists, it is advisable for owners to have their vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and address the underlying causes effectively.
