Default 2003 dodge caravan 3.3 won't start

replace cam censor, pcm, new battery. It started when old fuse box was cleaned up but than stopped again after starting 4-5 times, so we put a new box in..............still nothing! No spark but turns over.

This is the Computer Technical help section. I will move this to the van section for you.

I am going to assume you don't have SKIM (programmable key). Are you getting any codes? Where was the corrosion, in the PDC (fuse box by the battery)?

I had been looking for the answer to the question about my 2003 dodge caravan 3.3 that would not start. We had changed the fusebox, cam sensor, pcm, coil pack,and crank sensor. It had started on 5 seperate occations but still was not working. While waiting I found a guy who said It took 4 hours but the garage found a cracked wire under the battery that lead to the fusebox. That was exactly what was wrong with mine too! Two wires needed to be stripped back and put back together and now it workd great!! thanks to the guy who posted that!

That wire bundle under the battery has caused many a headache. Glad yours is over. Thanks for posting the fix.

Recall the color ident of the wires?

I'd like to know to. I replaced the starter and nothing. Turn the key to "start" and nothing. If I jumper 87/30 and turn the key, it turns over. So, I'm wondering is it wiring or is it the neutral safety switch.
