Re: [Chrysler300] Help!

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

FIRST, check the voltage AT thge batt posts. then at the batt cables. This
will tell you if the batt is dead and if the connection is OK. Keep in mind
that the starter is a big draw so check with someone trying to start it.
Then check ALL the cable connections that are easy. Trying to start after
each connection.
If all else fails, go to the firewall bulkhead connector. the big one where
lots of wires go thry the firewall. Often corroded.
Let us know, Ray
