Some Chrysler Pacifica owners report experiencing starting issues after replacing the battery and starter, often due to a blown mega fuse. This blown fuse can prevent the vehicle from cranking, as it is a critical component that protects the electrical system, including the starter and battery. If the 500 amp main fuse is blown, it may indicate a significant electrical problem that requires immediate attention. Owners can visually inspect fuses for damage or use a multimeter to check for continuity to identify a blown fuse. Additionally, checking the circuit breaker or fuse box for power loss can help confirm the issue. If a mega fuse is found to be blown, replacing it with a new fuse of the same amperage may resolve the starting issue. However, if problems persist, further diagnostics may be necessary to uncover any underlying electrical issues.
