Hi all,

I'm new to this forum . . . hoping to find some information . . .

My friend has a 2000/2001 Dodge Neon. The battery is charged up full, but whenever he turns the key, all the dash lights come on, but nothing happens. It has all the symptoms of needing a new starter motor.

I've never worked on a Dodge before, so I'm not too sure what to expect here . . . so I have two questions . . .

1. Is there anything else I should check before I try to remove this starter?

2. Is there any way around removing the radiator to get to the starter in this car? Any hints, tips, or tricks that any of you can share?

Thank you all for any help you may be able to provide to me. It looks like a tight fit in there, trying to get the starter replaced . . . Any way I could access it from underneath?

Thank you all!

Joe

 

Can't remember how I took it out when I dropped my transmission. It was either lower it down or out the side (with the airbox removed). Removing the radiator won't do much good because the intake manifold is still in the way.

The car won't crank? Is the starter relay good? All the relays for that matter?
