Dodge Charger want start can someone help me?

hey ballard9, i work for Sears automotive center. hopefully i can give you some help. In my opinion it sounds like both your alternator and your starter are screwed. Dodge's have a solenoid-relay starting system... it's more complex than Fords and GM's. Are there any lights coming on? If there aren't lights coming on then your battery or alternator is gone. Now if there are lights coming on in the dash, then it's still a chance your battery is dead but theres an even bigger chance your starting system is toast. 90% chance that when no lights are coming, it's the battery. Check the connections, make sure the cables are not loose. Holla back at me.

hi Soularmor, I check the battery cable ends, and they are tight. I tried to get a boost, but still nothing. No lights on the dash is showing, the car still want say a word. Someone said it might be the key margin. What do u think?

Hey I really doubt its the key margin. When you jumped it did any lights come on or did it just lay dead? Its probably now your starter. The first thing that happens when you normally start a car is the ignition sends a signal to The starter which then sends a signal to the battery to give off some juice. So if you jumped it and nothing happened then its more than likely your starter. Its probably dead and not sending a signal to your battery. Your battery is probably bad too or at least really low to where its not cranking. I personally think that its a combination of your starter and you need a new battery. More your starter than anything. They typically run about $200 for a good one.

hi Soularmor, when i tried to boost it it just layed dead, no dashboard lights, it didn't turn over it just didn't say anything.

You're going to need a new battery either way. On top of that, not to sound negative but you'll probably end up needing a new starter.

The interior lights and head lights come on, but the dashboard lights don't. My friend tried to start it from the starter, but it didn't come on neither the dash board lights.

You DO NOT need a battery or a starter. I'm having the same exact problems with my 08 magnum. It's also not the number 9 starter relay. I'm almost certain it is the WIN module. I'm taking mine to the dealer tomorrow... I will let you know.

Michael was that you problem

Michael can you let us know what was the problem please

I freaked out because in never had an issue before. anyways I turned the key off then tried to start it back up I got nothing, no sound at all. the dash lights,radio,etc all coming on, but with dead silence. I removed my battery and took it in and had it tested and the battery was fine. then I pulled the starter and took it to get tested, it as well tested fine. please help

Look, my 2006 Dodge Charger V6 is sitting here in my yard right now with all those problem of a Dodge, and I love my Dodge Charger also. I was driving and comes to the stop light and it will Idle for a while then a lighting Bolt light will show and the car will cut off, I than have to switch it on three times and it will crank, And now its in my yard and won't crank at all, But all lights comes on and horn, and the Radio system comes on, but the motor will not turn. I had the battery check and it is good, I do not have the money to put it in the shop, So can anybody help me please? I am from Sumter SC, James Simon.

well the 2011 -2014 chargers have recalls on the alternator so check that out..... second it may be the starter relay... I have a 2012 charger and its at the dealership

2010 charger want start no lights to i get a boot cables hook t it ! just click battery over four years old

Once cables are hook radio lights all come on just a click! Battery over three years old!

sometimes it take two tries to start my 2007 dodge charger

Your Charger probably has a factory recall on it requiring a replacement of the ignition switch and key fobs. See if that is the problem. It was mine; 2008 Charger SE.

I have a 2007 Charger and the last couple weeks my battery light randomly comes on! Had battery and alternator tested last Wednesday and they were perfect, light went off and stayed off until today! Grrrrrr!!! Car doesn't hesitate starting and when shit off and started again it starts right up, just don't understand what's going on! Each time before battery light came on car would make a random hesitation while driving but never dies completely or made any other noise or movement! Any help/information would be great!! Thanks

I have a 2014 Challenger push start I push the button and the car says ignition is running but the car is not running the radio plays the lights come on but the car won't start sometimes I wait 20 minutes It'll come on

blackmaguc I'm having that same issue help someone

Blackmaguc did you ever found out what was wrong. I also have ‘14 challenger and it’s going the same thing. It’s like the car is on but it’s not. I have to sit and wait till it decides to crank.

Just had this happen to my car. Got off work and drove to store. Went in and came out less than 10 minutes later and car would not start. Dash would light up but when I went to start the car everything would flash/resset so to speak and the EVIC would turn white. Tested the battery and it was bad. If this happens to you I would definitely check the battery at an Autozone or similar store. Replaced the battery and all is fine.

I have a 2015 Dodge Charger push to start & all the light work, radio works, car doesn’t want to start, normally I switch the relays & it will turn on & work now I switched the relays & it doesn’t want to start.. I can lock & unlock car with remote.. Gave car a jump, what should I do?

I have a 2008 charger. It was running fine went into a store for 10 min came back out and it would not do anything. I got a jump start and it started right up. Tried to turn my headlights on and they would not come on. My dash lights would work but not the headlight and it would not even shift on me. I had the battery and altenator checked the next day and both were said to have been good. Ran good for 2 days and then bam same thing again not 100% sure what the problem is can anyone help.

Chargers and dodge in general are pieces of shit my 06 is doing the exact same thing dodge should be forced to buy back all these pieces of junk I wouldn’t even care if it was at blue book value the only thing I haven’t tried is a baseball bat or a big hammer and that is next on the list. This thing isn’t even fit to be scrap I’d hate to infect the next think it was reincarnated to with the dodge virus.
