Check for a loose or corroded ground wire at the battery or from the engine to frame.

Sounds like you need a starter, or you have a loose wire somewhere under the hood.

I assume you've checked all connections from the battery and starter to make sure they are clean and tight. It is a little weird that you do not have trouble starting in neutral yet you get a clicking sound in park. My first thought would be the neutral safety switch on the transmission but you shouldn't even get a click in park if that is bad.

One possibility is the contacts in your starter have worn down and are causing too more resistance (explains the clicking). At the back of your starter is a metal cover that is held on by three tiny bolts (6mm). Disconnect the battery first! (You might have to remove the starter to get to this part) Remove this cover and pull out the plunger assembly. Underneath are two brass plates. Compare one plate to the other. If one is noticeably thinner then it could be the cause of the clicking. You will even see a round groove in the plate. You can buy the plunger and contacts from this website: http://www.nationsautoelectric.com/densoparts.html or you can opt to get a starter from your friendly auto parts store. The first picture shows the bad contact on the left. Notice the groove, the metal has become really thin there. 1e874da.jpgThis picture shows a pitted plunger assembly. Always good to replace it too.cd09a24.jpgThis picture shows all the new parts installed.207ff4f.jpg

yes it sounds like the starter is bad,you have to keep on turning the key and you hear a click everytime you turn the key,replace the starter that should solve that problem,also make sure your battery connections are tight and clean.

Bad bcm 2003 chrysler town & country van

You need to go to the dealer. They will put in a rebuilt one and program it to your car . You can\'t do this yourself. I you get a junkyard one they won\'t warranty it and if it is bad you will have to reprogram it again. If anything isn\'t right after they put it in tell them right away they told me they needed diagnostic time to find problem I said your full of it I didn\'t have this problem until you replaced it . They put another one in and it has worked for 4 years

2003 Chrysler Town & Country CODE P1698

My wife has a 97 town and country. For about 2 weeks the instrument panel
was going out then coming back on. A couple days ago it got bad. The van would start and run only several seconds then the engine would shut down.
I took the Instrument panel out and it started and stayed running. I pulled the
PC board found the bad Soder connections and resodered them. Problem
was gone and the P1698 code erased. Best thing is it did not cost me anything and the van is fixed !

If your van starts about 3 times. Immediately stops 3 times. Then doesn't start. You have a bad solder in your dash. Usually, the way to test is this is to spank the dash briskly. This seems to rejoin the bad solder and your Van with start. If this does the trick, take it to your repair person. Tell him to take out the instrument cluster and resolder the connections. This will fix it. We have fixed 2 or three vans the same way.

If the check engine light is not on, stay away from sensors for now. First when is the last time you have had a tune up? PLugs , wires, air and fuel filter. Stalling at a stop can be from the air filter, fuel filter (clogging up), It can also be from the catalytic conveter, these also clog up. It can be from vacuum leaks, this usually has a rough idle also. It wouldn't hurt to check for codes, intermittant codes don't always pop the light on. On some vehicles the o2 sensors can cause a rough idle and stall at stops, ut they usually set a code/ light.

I have that on my RX& so i just time the off switch myself. works ok.
