2008-2011 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum starter relay issues

[@vico4184]

Why didn't I see your video before. My car has been parked for a few months did what you said to do and it's fixed now. You're a life saver

[@alicecoleman5847]

This is exactly what I needed. My Chrysler 300 was starting late. I switched out that starter relay, and "voila" that problem disappeared. I have you as my go to man for my Chrysler 300! Thank-you.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Awesome! Glad to see it was something as simple as that relay. Alot of people spend alot of money replacing a lot of items just to fix this with out checking the basics. Thanks for commenting and for making me that "go-to guy" lol. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.

Hi 👋 am glad you fix your problem with you car ! can you tell me what exactly was the issue you had ? Cause my charger some times starts normal then it takes like 2.or 3 seconds to Start then it can start normal again I don't if it could be the relay or other thing. Thanks

[@anibalrivera7529]

I have a 2010 charger srt, whit that issue, replacing the starter relay didn't fix, what i do next?

[@johnjesher]

You have no idea how much frustration this has saved me from. For two years my Charger has bounced from mechanic to mechanic without anyone figuring this out so I checked the relays and low and behold the car started right up and my wiper stopped working. You are a godsend thank you so much!!!!

Thank You MotorCity. I was about to dump cash on a new starter, when I checked KZbin to see if there were any issues or items I had to remove to get to it, when I found this video. Had a faulty FOB first, but had a backup. With FOB issue out of the way, tried the relay swap, as advised. Bingo! On the money. Six straight perfect starts in a row. Glad I found this video. Cheers!

Hello MCM. I had the same problem. Replaced the relay and it worked for about a day and the problem returned. Switched the relays around and it fixed the problem for about two starts and then the problem returned. The car starts perfectly with the remote start always but not with the key. I'm stumped!

Great vid. I'm seeing the same problem with a 2002 dodge ram 1500 4x4. The transmission is auto. No start/no crank was intermittent, but when we bypassed the ignition switch, the truck started right up. I'm gonna check the fuses and starter relay

[@TheDbworld]

These are great videos and I learn a lot from them, but these cars are something of a mystery when it comes to the electronics as Chrysler/Dodge and Mopar have made them too complex to find problems. I've had my car in the shop for almost 3 days now due to Fuse 15 blowing on my 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8 for no apparent reason. It will crank, but as it is cranking, it blows the fuse. I replace it, and it blows it again. Even the techs at the Chrysler shop can't figure it out. I'm about ready to drop the entire engine and go old school, replacing it with a 350 small block, carburetor and cap/rotor configuration, and do away with all electronics. No more key faub for me. Just a basic key to start the engine. I'm getting tired of having to spend thousands of dollars trying to figure out what is wrong with the car when it has nothing to do with anything mechanical. :-)

[@leonard187]

Marcus Harikian hi there I totally agree with you, I purchased a 2007 Dodge Magnum 3.5l sxt and I am having a issue with no crank and I can’t figure it out I’ve had a tech come out and reprogram and make a new key and still it won’t crank

[@BCBoost420]

[@degened2990]

I'm fixing to try this on my 08 magnum now. Just started having starting issues. Boy would it be awesome for this to be it. 🤞

[@degened2990]

Mine would be different. The relays on my 08 are not the same. The fuse box and layout is an exact match. Completely. But my starter relay is a different part number from the 2 wiper motor relays. I'm not going to try switching them. Plus mine started everytime just now. Didn't have the issue this round.

[@varunchowdarykandimalla8720]

Thanks for your help Guys. It works for me perfectly and saved lot of money.

[@tklowery1637]

I have been having this problem with my 08 charger, had it towed to a shop then was told it was the ignition switch and had to take it to the dealer, took it to the dealership and they changed the ignition switch that had a recall, still not fixed. the dealership said it is the engine wiring harness and dodge no longer makes it so I have to order it online and they will charge $1000 for labor. so I am excited to try this today.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I hope it worked out. If not then it could be alot of things. Something I would need to get my hands on to check

[@rowinalewis3410]

The plastic fender liner has a few fasteners that you will need to remove and maybe a plastic rivot or two but nothing too hard to remove.

[@rodneyyazzie3739]

2011 Dodge charger rt, started do this about about week ago, on the first backup it good, but the next time blackout. I have check the wiring harness and the radio, all have good connection

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I havent found one common issue. Usually I start with making sure the radio software level is correct and if need be....download the latest version to make sure no software related issues. Also the radio has a menu on it where you can turn the camera off so make sure its turned on and that something didnt happen to cause it to be turned off accidentally but being that it works sometimes and other times not....I doubt this will be a cause. There is a test of the camera not working.....its mainly testing from power and ground as well as a couple other circuits. There is no actual test for the camera other then a known good part. If the wiring checks okay then the steps requests camera replacement. Then of course if still having issues.....possible radio.

+Moo Cow You said one of my favorites.....the srt4! Love that little car.....quick as hell. I hope you didn't give that one to a neighborhood kid lol. I know cars will have problems....but for the most part I still rather have a Chrysler product. I do have a 2007 Mustang convertible but that's because Chrysler didn't make a convertible with any balls lol I didn't want the PT and I didn't what the sebring. One was too small and one was to "gated community" for me. I wanted something fast and sounding sweet.

been subscribed for ages, I have had other cars as well, 64 mercury park lane with 352 and 2 four barrel carbs and the breezeway window(still have it), 78 honda civic which I had three engines replaced in 1 year, all under warranty got rid of that!) a 79 toyota corolla that the head went when the timing belt snapped, it was an interference engine, the chrysler 2.2 and 2.5 of that era were non interference if the timing belt snapped no damage,a 77 pinto which looked great as could be with the all glass hatchback, wanted to put a 302 in it, but it really disintegrated into the ground(rust).Also had a 75 cutlass and a 68 cutlass the 68 scared the bejeesus out of me had the rocket 350 but standard drum brakes and standard steering. I still have the srt4 it is solar yellow of course with the matching yellow dash, I did however put the wing on that came on the normal s/x I didnt like the high wing.got rid of the badges and made it a bit of a sleeper. Have you seen the dodge turbo minivan(using the turbo 1 vnt engine) on youtube, love it.keep up with your videos love them.maybe I will finally get a ram truck next!

+MotorCity Mechanic. My 2008 Chrysler 300, wont turn over, The lights on the dash wont turn on. As a matter fact, when I turn the key the security light blinks and makes three dinging noises. That's how I know it wont start. When I turn the key to the "on' position and it doesn't ding and the temp appears on the dash then I know it'll turn over. I have to repeatedly turn the key and eventually it starts. I watched your video and replaced the starter relay and that didn't fix the problem. Also it has a new battery.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

There is no one thing I can tell you to check. Its going to require diag and a high end scanner to access the modules and data to see what might be the cause. At this point it would be just throwing parts at it and wasting money, could be a key issue or WCM up again, I would be guessing. Thanks for subscribing and for the question.

I switched relays with the wiper relay still no start ??? The wipers worked fine with the starter relay also

[@ricosuave2934]

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 touring. The other day the vehicle stall and shut off. I turn the vehicle and was able to drive though rough idling and it would turn off. I ended up changing the camshaft and crankshaft. I also went ahead and cleaned the throttle and change the air filter.The vehicle turns on but shuts off. Only when I put my foot on the gas and Rpm is high it stays on. When I realized the gas it stays on for a few seconds and it turns off. Not sure at this point what it may be. I did change the fuel pumps about six month ago and the vehicle has been running find. Not sure what the issue is.

[@longlivethetrill]

I've had trouble starting my 2008 dodge charger i use to crank the ignition until it turn over but now that its cold outside it won't start at all. The diagnosis says its the short runner valve control.. Should i spend 180 on the short runner valve or try changing the relay first

[@MotorCityMechanic]

A short runner valve wont cause it to not spin over. I want to be clear about that....your saying that the starter is not engaging and spinning the engine correct or is the starter spinning it but the engine never starts up and runs by itself?

[@longlivethetrill]

@@MotorCityMechanic correct i finally got it to jump start yesterday but when i turn the engine off it wouldn't start back up.. So that's a starter problem right ? All i get is a clicking noise when i attempt to start it

@@longlivethetrill Could be a battery issue if you had to jump it off. Thats where I would start first....making sure the battery is good.

Big thank you for this video. Question for you, though. Is there a permanent fix to this issue? Had a relay not work about 6 months back and replaced it. It's at my mechanic's now with the same symptom. He's going to try my fix, but assuming it's a bad relay again, is there a more permanent solution to this problem?

I was wondering if it's a relay issue that my chrysler sebring 07 3.5l, cranks but won't start. I changed the camshaft sensor and crankshaft, and get a p0340 code, even though I changed the camshaft. Love your videos.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Evening, that code is electrical and the causes can be wiring, the sensor, or the PCM. It will take testing the wiring going from the PCM to the sensor to make sure no damage or shorts. The circuits will need to be load tested. If that code keeps coming back each time cleared then I would certainly start with that. One thing I recommend to check just incase is make sure that the timing belt isnt broke as well. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe

[@813Productions]

Excellent video! I have the same issue where my '10 Charger SXT hesitates to crank for 1-2 seconds. Does this issue throw any codes when diagnosing at the dealership? I also heard the cam position sensor/crankshaft senor could cause this as well, what are you thoughts on this being the issue if not the relay? Thanks in advance!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+CollegeGrinder It will not set any codes. Crank and cam sensors have nothing to do with the starter. Keep in mind that I am speaking of the starter operation....not engine spinning over for 1-2 seconds. If you have 1-2 seconds while he starter is spinning then the issue will be something else.

[@JP-mt1po]

My 2009 dodge charger has similar issues and replacing the relays with wiper does nothing. What I've noticed, is that when I turn my ac up to the 3rd notch, it's gives it juice to start. My battery is good, but my car starts really rough and even grinds when doing that little trick. Mechanic told me my starter was good, but I feel like it may be the starter issue. A friend of mine used to own a Chrysler 300 and said it could be the evap canister. I did have check engine light turn on with codes for evap (auto zone cleared codes without giving me info) so I am not sure if that could be the issue as well. Any input?

[@GrantRS4]

I have a 2008 300c 3.0 CRD. I've been having the same start up issues periodically for the last year. It's had a new battery and won't jump off another vehicle either. The battery has been checked and is not draining. I've swapped the starter relay for one of the others (same part number) to try that.... still nothing. All electrics work, all ignition lights turn on then some off as is normal. Then turn key to crank = nothing. Worth mentioning that the car had a chrysler recall about 18mths ago which was something to do with the ignition module. (Apparently key could jump out of position and turn engine off whilst driving). I got 2 new keys with that recall. When this problem happens, neither key works. But both keys work fine at other times! Any ideas!?

[@djad332104]

I'm having starting issues on my 2015 charger road and track. Battery is new, alternator checks good. Car starts now and then. Feel like there's a short somewhere or something draining the battery. Going crazy trying to get it working again. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Great video! Is there Starter Relay for Dodge Charger 2015 sxt? I can't find any source.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

There is starter relay under the hood. Its numbered 27. Look at the fuse/relay cover and see if they have it shown. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe

[@abro7827]

MotorCity Mechanic Hi again, I have a dodge charger 2016 V6, some water went in the intake and I vacuumed it all out. Upon draining the motor oil I noticed that it did not have any water in it. Since then my car won't crank. All I hear is a click from the solenoid. I rented a code reader and the codes show bad crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensors on both banks. Also the engine won't turn over manually after removing spark plugs and serpentine belt. It it possible the engine is just protecting itself from starting?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Abraham Garcia-Santos Hate to say it but sounds like internal damage. Most likely bent rods. If water got into the intake then it got inside the engine. You showed the with the plugs out that you can't turn it by hand. Might be time to check with your insurance company to see if it's something that might be covered. Wish I had good news but not in this case

[@abro7827]

Unfortunately my insurance won't help me. Can the connecting rods be swapped out easily if the engine is opened from below (removing oil pan).?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Abraham Garcia-Santos I recommend removing the engine and tearing it down to inspect everything to see what's damaged and what needs to be replaced

[@tevans18]

So how much does it cost to buy the new starter relay and if I get a problem where the car is not keeping power but the car drives but the battery is drain all the time it’s a police edition 2010 dodge charger

[@68camarorsss33]

I have a 2010 300 Touring would this be the #9 location as well on my car...

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I just checked and yes.....the same location (#9). Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe

[@68camarorsss33]

MotorCity Mechanic thanks I replaced it and it didn't work...I have a 2010 300 3.5L it has remote start installed so I need to replace the cars starter do I need to do anything special so I don't burn out the remote starter or can I just change it like normal?? Like when last weekend I changed out the cars battery I had to hook up a jump box (I thinks that's what it's called my mechanic did it for me for $10) I had to keep power to the remote starter so it didn't burn up that's what my mechanic said I had to do or can I just change it like normal?? Thanks for your help, Keith...

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I have never heard of that every having to be done before. Sounds strange to me unless they are talking about something else and even then it doesnt sound right about anything. If your replacing the starter then you need to disconnect the battery. Chances are that the starter is not the issue. You need to hook up a scanner that can access all the control modules and then see what codes might be present. Starters rarely go out on a late model Chrysler so I feel you need to check it out further before spending that money and finding out that wasnt the cause.

[@rodriguezguery2164]

hey guys, we are very happy to have you, hoping you could help as well;my ECM is fried out due to battery inserted the wrong way, I just received a new one shipped from the US to Chad but no electricity on the injectors when I tried to start it, what do I need to do, some guy tried to program the key but it is asking for pin code: It is a Chrysler 300, 2005 model, v6 3.5L, VIN 2C3KA53G77H611942. THANKS

I have a 08 300 limited and I cant figure out what fuse or relay I need to replace to get the washer pump for the windshield wipers to spray water I replaced the pump so it's not the pump the pumps not getting power?

[@gloriaflowers5911]

Thankyou very informative

[@leoncoffman4231]

I Change the relay and I am still having problems. What should i look for now.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Its too early to say what it might be.....there are alot of things that need to be checked. The first is to have the system scanned for codes.....not with a basic code reader but with a higher end scanner that can access all the modules. If no codes then monitoring the data in certain modules can tell us as well what the cause could be.

[@mrhyde0705]

2011dodge charger rt, hada very distinctive Click right before ignition, started just fine but never made such aloud click. I was able to catcha video, it did not do it again, is that solenoid or relay??

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thats hard to say without checking it out in person. It could be either but will need to be checked while its acting up to be 100% sure. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe.

[@JR-wd5oh]

Could this also cover 2008 dodge rams, my truck as stranded me 4 times and every time everything works fuel pump, dash lights, radio, headlights just no crank then after sitting for awhile and a lot of trying to crank it over boom it will fire up and no codes come up

[@JR-wd5oh]

@J Briede I was just reading about it and I've looked all over and I can't find a relay for the starter and I was reading that the rams with tipm don't have relays because everything goes thru the tipm so idk

[@MotorCityMechanic]

This video wont apply to the ram trucks......not the same issue. For yours there is no one common item I have found. It will take some hands on diag and monitoring of the data with a high end scanner when its acting up to see if anything obvious.

[@gabrielmendez49]

Hey bud question im working on a 08 with 3.5 charger i tried replacing the starter relay still nothing im getting a code b2104 is the code n im a lil stumped cuz the gear shifter i have to step on brake a few time to even move it outta gear and when i looked up code some ppl are saying bad gear shifter assembly or bad fcm but when i look up from at the power distribution box under hood there no module there

[@hambone100]

I have an 07 srt 300 and it won't start. I got a service park assist mesg in the evic, engine light with codes that read as followed p0645, p0480 and p0481. I disconnected the battery and let it sit overnight. The next day it started right up. When I put it in gear, the park assist would constantly chime as if I was about to hit something. Also, when putting it in any gear, the car will thump hard. I checked the ignition pin, I've changed the battery and still can't figure this out. Also worth noting, the horn doesn't work at all bit everything else does. Any ideas before I light this thing on fire? 54k on the clock

Hi David, I have a bit of a different issue on my '14 Compass. While I was intentionally inducing wheel slip on ice today, I had the ABS, ESC, 4WD! illuminate. Upon restarting the vehicle, the ABS and ECS lights remained and I noticed ABS functions were not affected. All of the lights have since gone out after a full ignition cycle. I already have scheduled an appointment with my dealer, and I'm wondering if the problem can still be diagnosed even though the lights are no longer lit? Are ABS/ECS/4WD codes stored in the ECU like typical soft engine codes?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Evening. It will store the codes. The fact that you induced wheel spin most likely set an abs speed sensor code. I can make that happen by operating one in the air on 2wd models due to 2 wheels moving while other 2 not. Which is basically what may have happened with you. Being that the lights are now off and you know when and how the lights originally came on, I personally wouldn't bother having it checked. That's just my opinion. If it was still in then yes but the issue isn't present at this time so an accurate diagnosis will be difficult

[@abhamber]

Thanks David! Should I worry about the 4WD! error light? (its no longer lit) does it typically work in conjunction with the ABS system? Or does it mean the clutch pack in the center coupling was possibly was slipping?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+abhamber codes in the abs can cause the 4wd error as well. Any kind of wheel slippage can affect it. I believe you will be fine. If the light comes back on then by all means.....schedule an appointment to have it checked. Otherwise drive it and enjoy it lol

[@abhamber]

Awesome! Thanks for the advice David.

Hey David Im thinking of buying a used 2008 Dodge magnum at 161,000 miles Ive never owned a dodge. is this a good car to purchase? Might april 29th 2016 What do you recommend Please help Asap! lol Thank you

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+Supreme B Morning, sorry about the delay. They are good cars.....with the miles it may have some issues which is normal for any vehicle. Some items depend on the engine that the vehicle has. I try to stay away from the 2.7 as much as possible. The 5.7 hemi is the best and the 3.5 is a good engine. On the 3.5 its important to make sure the timing belt gets replaced on the normal interval. If you could get the 5.7 you would be in the best possible version. Just depends on what your wanting but in the end they are good cars. I keep an eye out as well for one for myself even though I don't need another vehicle. Once again, sorry about the delay....I get a lot of replies and sometimes it hard to get to each one.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

There is a chance that the radio is acting up. Reason why you notice it know can be that when you powered the radio down (battery disconnect) it didnt boot up properly or something will no longer respond. It will take some diag and possible having the dealer check it out to be sure. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.

Dave i hit a bump in the road today then my engine oil light flashed a few times and my car lost power now it will not crank or turn over

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I am worried if any damaged was caused underneath the vehicle. Do you see oil leaking anywhere? I would wonder if something hit the oil pan and causes a leak and the engine ran out of oil. This could explain the symptoms that you had. I recommend checking the oil level at the dipstick to see if its at the correct level. If okay....then I recommend checking for codes to see if the cause is something else.

[@stjustejeff6373]

Hey quick question, so I just bought a chrysler 300 not even a month ago with 72k miles on it the check engine light shows got it checked the said map sensor should I keep the car or get it fixed by the dealership?

I have a dodge charger 3.5 litters my gas needle does not tell me the right amount of gas that i have what should i do? And my heater does not work help me.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Both issues are something that will require first hooking up a higher end scanner to see the data related to the fuel level to see if its a gauge issue or sending unit issue. Same goes for the HVAC problem. We need to make sure its not an actuator failure and using that same scanner would tell us that. Otherwise its too early to give a guess on the possible cause of both concerns. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.

Hello Dave, I own a 2011 dodge charger rt. And today I experienced cranking issues. However, my vehicle is push bottom start. Is there a possibility that it may be the starter relay? Please help!!!!!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Its hard to say for sure......it could be alot of different items. Checking for codes in all the modules is the first step. I feel that you might have a different issue then just the relay.....however you can check to see if you have the same set up and try the swap like in the video to see if any change.
