My 2002 dodge caravan wont start i turn the key and nothing

  • Anonymous Nov 17, 2011

    Can you provide a bit more history about the van and how it has been operating? Particularly if there has been any erratic dash light, or gauge behaviour? I'm taking a stab at this potential contributing factor. It really could be anything. We just need more info to help diagnose the problem. If there has been nothing unusual leading to this problem, then I'd start with checking battery, fuses, cables and wires, making sure power is getting to everything properly. You can also check the starter to make sure it is actually working.
    If these basic items are all working, then it points to a potential body control module problem. Most dealers will quote in excess of $1000 to fix this, but you can actually replace them yourself for the cost of a used one, about $200 - from an auto wrecker or ebay.

Start by cleaning battery terminals try to start if headlights are bright and nothing check the starter relay by the fuses stick the same type from another circuit or a spare one where it says spare. Try to start if the lights are bright hit the starter with a hammer a few times while someone has the key turned if it starts you need a new starter. If lights go out recharge battery or replace battery

Single mom can't do nothing cuz of car

You may have a faulty ingition. Otherwise you have the very common GM anti-theft system. If you have a flashing anti-theft light with key in igniton, then this is what you should do:

Put key in ignition, turn to ON position (Do NOT Start)
Leave in on position for EXACTLY 10 Minutes
Then while watching the anti-theft light, as SOON as the light turns off after 10 minutes, START CAR IMMEDIATELY after light turns off.

This will reset the anti-theft

Put in key it wont turn.

sounds like you have a frozen lock cylinder. you can try spraying some wd-40 or lube into the key slot and tapping on the ignition and it might free up temporarily but you will most likely have to replace the lock cylinder
