Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Chrysler 200. The red lightning bolt light could indicate an issue with the throttle body or electronic throttle control (ETC) system. This light typically appears when there's a problem with the vehicle's accelerator pedal, throttle position sensor, or wiring. Sometimes, a dirty or malfunctioning throttle body could cause this, preventing the car from starting. Another possibility is a weak battery or a problem with the charging system. When the car is off, a battery that's near failure may not have enough voltage to power the starter, causing the car not to crank. I recommend checking the battery's voltage and ensuring the throttle body is clean and functioning correctly. It may also be worth scanning for any trouble codes, as they could help pinpoint the exact issue. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
