If it is something other than switch on column. Put key in run position Pull starter relay and jump out the two contacts with a piece of wire, paper clip, etc on the electrical electrical center. You can see which terminals by looking at diagram on the relay. That will usually work.

I've got a 04 dodge neon need tips changed the ignition got keys with it and some how tripped skim when changing ignition

[@mixmediaproductions]

2002 Chrysler T & C LX 3,3L Flex.. starts when it wants to.. first try, or anywhere later. Also p1684, p0700 from dash. My key comes out while driving, so I guess a cylinder, and maybe the ignition switch. I am replacing the In/Out Trans. Sensors, and the Solenoid pack next to them. Checking condition of TCM under the left front wheel well.. might need that.

[@thomasturner1065]

Could you advise on the next steps for an '07 PT Cruiser? We replaced the battery, starter, alternator, and battery cables and it still will not always start - but intermittently it'll start with no issues. The starter relay at the firewall will click rapidly when it does not start, but otherwise it fires up as normal.

[@thomasturner1065]

It starts most of the time so we tried this trick to fiddle with it and to cause it to break (and then to try and fix it if it does) but it didn't fail. We'll have to wait until it does to test it for sure, but it still has the chance to start on its own.

I have a 06 pt and I can not figure out this trick because my ignition switch is bad. Is this something that only works on older years

[@jamiebennett6354]

bought one didn't work, bought another didn't work bought an oem one didn't work, took about 3 inches of black elec tape cut long ways and wrapped the shaft and used a little force to make it go on (reasoning, to limit the amount of play the shaft and switch seem to have) then I put a cable tie around switch so I have something to anchor to and another cable tie from that one to the bottom of the steering column screw (1 of 3) what I'm trying to do is make the switch NOT move at all (the one tiny screw apparently is NOT enough) so far so good

Hey bro, I did this trick after watching your video. It did work, but I started it, and it shut back off, I did this about 6 times and it stopped cranking over completely.. I changed the ignition switch, but it still has nothing at all. Did I trip a anti theft sensor or something? Can you help me bro? I am a subscriber. Lol. Your videos are great. Hoping u can help me w this one.

Hey thanks for this video dont know if my switch was the problem changed it anyway. Then found the fuel pump auto shut off fuse was fried what could be the cause?

Btw I tried the finger trick...not my ignition switch...I just had to ran a wire from the starter coil and another from positive and fed to inside car and attached a pushbutton switch...works good.

Are you dealing with a no crank? Is this a 2006 or higher PT. I suggest doing your no crank test at the starter relay. Also are you subscribed to the channel?

Hello sir. I have a 2007 Pt cruiser and it keeps jerking on me like it wants to kill. Well when I was driving bit killed on me. It started back up and when I push the gas it killed again. I parked and it started back up. It drove for awhile then started jerking again. I got off the gas then back on it until I got home. Now I've changed the thermostat cause it kept running hot. It's not anymore. Then I changed the camshaft. I HV not checked the crank shaft cause I can't do that myself nor do I have money for a mechanic. Could there be something else causing it. I check a few little fuses Under the hood but all ok. Please help if u can. Thank you

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Hello my friend. You are guessing at parts that you have heard fails on these. Without getting the car diagnosed, you likely will keep wasting money on parts you may not need. Not much I can do without diagnosing it

2004 pt cruiser, shut off while idleing, has power wont crank, tried this but everything looked different with my car. anything else i can check to rule out ignition

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Hey Jay, an ignition switch will not cause your car to shut off/stall out. The car in this video a gen 2 PT Cruiser, your 2004 model is a gen 1. Thats why they different. What do you mean by "wont crank"? Is the car spinning over when you turn key?

What I'm finding frustrating is that you did not take the time to show how you took the plastic cover off to even begin to show us the unique hack.... totally frustrating when you are doing your best to learn... right now my PT Cruizer has NO Crank and the lights and everything else works but the car will not start! Please consider doing step by step... today I've watched several of your video's but you haven't shown the step by step on the how to take thing apart to be able to replace the part... I bought this car 2 weeks ago and everything worked at the time... 2 weeks later it won't crank... and I'm certainly not able to drive it either... I'm not a mechanic that's why I rely on step by step instructions... (That's what makes great video's)

I have a 2002 pto cruiser AT, 4 cylinder, the following has been replaced, 1st it had a head gasket replace and valve job, all by Chrysler, then it intermittently would start and not run. Then I got it I can do mechanic work, but don't like it, I found a lot of wiring problems, after the computer was replaced along with the coil pak, cam shaft sensor, right now that's all I can remember, also it doesn't have a security system on it. And it is not a turbo, it looks like the purple one in your video. Also I have striped the wiring from the front of the motor to the firewall and it all meters out good. Fuel pump works, when this thing works it hits on the first turn over, but if something is wrong the asd shuts down. Can you give anything else I can check oh ignition switch is good mechanical and electrical. [e-mail]. thanks in advance. Jon Eaves
