Do you have engine check light on? if so scan it with OBD 2 tool and you should have a fault code! to go on!

If it is the front wheel drive model, it is in the back side of the motor looking up at it....simple to change.....the side that faces the cab of the vehicle.

check your relay box (under the hood black box) for corrosion, just had that on my van and it was a blown relay fuse from a bad connector. Also there might be an issue with the distributor itself (the thing the coil conects to) as that is symptomatic of that. To start- and for sake of ease- wiggle the black box after reseating the fuses (not the clear top ones yyou can see them blown without removing) give the box a good wiggle and a tap or two (not he-man taps mind you) while someone tries to start it. if this all is useless please let me know.

the starter is the most often cause of the failure the solonoid gets shorted and blows the fuse replacing the starter should fix it, i have also seen a couple of wires for the starter rub against the heat shield and blow the fuse

I have a 2001 dodge stratus. The battery light is on. I pulled the battery as well as the alternator. Had them both nech tested and they both ate good. The 20 amp alt fuse keeps popping as soon as I start...

That fuse also powers the Auto Shut Down Relay so unplug it first then see if the fuse blows, if yes the only other place it goes is to the ECM so unplug it next, if the fuse still blows check the wire. I hope this helps, take care. If you have any more questions about this vehicle or just want to say hi, send a testimonial.

My 1999 Dogde Stratus 2.4 cyl. keeps blowing the fuse that makes the car start. Replacing the fuse is becming costly and is annoying. What might be the reason this is happening?

if you can get to a parts store have them test the amperage drain of the starter while cranking..if its too high.. replace it..after a while the starter brushes get worn to the point where they cover more armature conacts than they should and will draw up to double what is normal for that car.. also if its not mounted right it will drag.. using way more power to work..see what happens and repost findings..otherwise you may need a hevy circiut breaker in place of that fuse..be aware of any smoking wires and potential fire hazard..

2001 dodge stratus turned off while driving,oil was empty and it wont start

If you are saying it will not crank, the engine could be locked up.
A mechanic would try turning the crank by using the alternator pulley.

I have a 2004 dodge stratus that has power to lights but does not turn over when i try to crank even after jumping it off.

Hi.

Check ignition switch fuse. This is a 20 Amps. see that it has not blown. In 2004 Fuse should be nr 8 in the power box under the hood (newer models #24).

Once you are sure that battery, fuse and wires are OK, check starter and ignition switch. Check if there is 12V to starter while cranking. If there is power and the starter motor does not turn, then the motor is gone.
If there is no power to starter motor when you crank, then the ignition switch located inside the steering column may need replacement. Before repairing, try reading error codes with a code scanner.

My 2001 dodge stratus does not start and I need a new motor

i dont know exactly what was to begin the main problem with your car the car didnt firev at all or it was just a quite nocking sound where? engine transmission or some where else as far as i know if the engine doesnt turn on , you could have a crank or ign. module disconnected . i would suggest ask em if they pulled out some codes, also i would start checking for ecm fuses and ignition to see if they are not blown.and about if that was their fault ask what kind of testing they performed and why the rods and shifters came loose.
