The whining noise sounds like the starter is engaging and the gear is spinning BUT its acting like it not hitting the flywheel to turn the motor, when replacing the starter did you put everything back exactly ???also it is possible if you got a starter from the parts store it could be defective and spinning but not sliding forward to engage the flywheel.. I have seen many times defective starters ..
recommend removing the starter and having it bench tested from the parts store to see if it works Napa/autozone can do that

Hi,
Looks like an ECU problem,
You should go to your nearest dealer and check/scan and analyze your computer/ecu, some of the sensors might not be working already and need to be replace.
In the issue of starter, if it clicks and the motor of the starter whines up, it means it is working fine, the problem would be the bendix drive/gear can't reach the flywheel to start the engine.
My suggestion would be to bring that car to your dealer to check the ecu/computer and if the starter assembly is for your car model( sounds like its not for your car).

Hope that solves part of your problem!

Thanks for using Fixya!

Stop in or call a Chrysler dealer service dept.and it may even be a free update, but fee should be minimal if they do charge you. Dealers are usually only ones that have software to perform update.

on top of the head under the plastic trim for the valve cover

The starter is on the bottom left side of the engine.

i have the same problem with my car, and i cant figure it out. Does anybody knows why it does that??

check throttle control sensor (is any dash lights on)

must be in the fuse board somewhere ,chances are its not teh relay though ,test for a feed to the sender unit connection first to see if it is the pump or a ground problem

Hello, to remove and replace the rear door try the following:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery of your Chrysler LHS. You can accomplish this with an open end wrench, to prevent any injury or short in the electrical system as you are working on the door lock switch. Place the negative battery cable out of the way so it does not touch any metal parts.


2. Undo any screws that are holding the lower door panel to the door with a screwdriver. Unclip the plastic hold clips that are attached to the back of the panel by carefully pulling them away by hand.

3. Locate the electrical connector wires. These wires run behind the panel to the door arm rest and detach each wire connector by hand. Remember how the wires were attached so you can put them back the same way when it is time to reattach them.

4. Lower the door panel away from the door. Then, remove any screws holding the upper door panel in place. Remove the door handle pull cup that covers the door lock switch and door handle by carefully popping the cover off after you have removed the screws holding it in place.

5. Detach the upper door panel from the door. You can do this by pulling it away carefully from the plastic clips. Move the upper door panel out of the way and locate the door lock actuator switch. Remove the screws from the actuator switch that are holding it in place and disconnect the electrical wires attached to the back of the switch.

6. Replace the old door lock actuator switch with a new one. This replacement can occur by connecting the electrical wires to the back of the new switch and reattaching the switch to the door frame with screws. Put the upper door panel back in place, securing it to the door frame with plastic clips and screws.

7. Reattach the door handle pull cup to the upper door panel with screws. Then, put the lower door panel in place and reattach the electrical wires to the window switches underneath the armrest. Attach the lower door panel to the door frame with plastic clips and screws.

8. Attach the negative battery cable to the Chrysler LHS battery with the open end wrench.

Thanks

According to the symptoms you are mentioning it sounds like you will need to replace both the ignition lock cylinder and the interlock cassette.

There is no reset switch. I'm assuming it turns over. May have no spark , but could be anything.

there may only be two ,the main lead from the battery & a small one on the solenoid, but if there are more remove them if you want to remove the starter motor,but mark them so as you know where to put them back....hope this helps.....cheers

Belt might look good, but it's glazed, replace it.

check your belt again, check for jump, check timing, check ignition system

your cooling system is faulty, possible the radiator or the hoses connecting are defective. do not drive unless you rectify this or else you will end up in a breakdown.

who told you that it has a code 54?

all OBD2 vehicles use a 5 digit code like a P0300

maybe this is a "flash" code for the HAVC, ABS or air bags
However, can you be more specific in your post

No,not really,there is a clutch relay,but make sure the freon level is full,if it is real low,or out of freon,the compressor will not engage.
