Problem overview

Some Dodge Challenger owners report experiencing starting issues due to several common factors. A dead battery is often cited as a primary cause, prompting owners to check and potentially replace the battery to resolve the problem. Additionally, corroded or damaged battery cables can hinder the starting process, leading to the need for inspection and replacement. Issues with the ignition system, such as poor connections, may also contribute to starting difficulties, requiring cleaning or repairs. Furthermore, problems within the fuel system, like a clogged fuel filter, can prevent the engine from starting, necessitating checks and repairs of fuel system components. In some cases, a faulty starter motor is identified as the culprit, with replacement being the recommended solution if other components are functioning properly. Lastly, a bad starter relay can result in similar issues, and checking or replacing it may be necessary to restore functionality. Addressing these concerns promptly can help ensure that the Dodge Challenger starts reliably.
