98 ram charger no start
#11
it is temperature specific, like yesterday it was about 18 degrees here and it wouldn't turn over all day, this morning still nothing, and it was about 20 degrees, but as the day went on it warmed up abit , to maybe 23-25 degrees but felt warmer in the sun, and after work it popped right off, didn't have to move the shifter around (which worked sometimes)or anything , just turned the key and it started. I'll check the grounds at the frame and firewall, it is a 98, and it's pretty rusty, especially the undercarriage. when you say swap the starter relay, swap it with what?

you could also try starting it in reverse/neutral or drive to see if it makes any difference. might just need to adjust the shifter linkage. my buddy had to start his truck in neutral for a while till we got around to adjusting the shifter linkage. usually pretty easy to test. neutral safety switch grounds the starter relay. i wouldn't think temperature should effect it. might just be a coincident.
