Problem overview

Some Dodge Stratus owners report experiencing a no crank, no start issue despite having a good starter and relay. These issues may stem from faulty battery cables that prevent the vehicle from starting. Additionally, if there is no vibration when attempting to start the car, the problem could be related to the starter relay, ignition switch, or connections in between. Owners may find it helpful to test the starter relay by swapping it with a known working one to rule out relay issues. Furthermore, if jumping specific pins in the starter relay fuse allows the car to start, this could indicate problems with the neutral safety switch or ignition switch, even if they have been recently replaced. Other critical components, such as the clutch switch, fuses, and relays, may also contribute to the starting problem. Lastly, some owners discover that unplugging the radiator temp sensor or the EGR valve can assist in diagnosing the no start condition, as a faulty radiator temp sensor could lead to excessive fuel injection and starting difficulties.
