96 2.4L fuse #8 short
Everytime I attempt to start my stratus the number 8 fuse in the Engine compartment shorts out and blows. I isolated the ASD relay and the starter and the fuse still blows. Any suggestions on where I should go next. The fuse panel marks the #8 fuse as fuel ign. starter. After the fuse blows I have no wiper no idiot lights and no radio. I did a check engine diagnostics and it came back 42 which means it is the ASD relay. I check it and replaced the relay, and isolated the relay still blows the fuse. No visible wire shorts or grounds> Help??

Yes, There was a short in the solenoid on the starter. After replacing the solenoid I never had a problem again.

Re: 96 2.4L fuse #8 short
same thing happened to my 96 today. replaced fuse #8 started a few times and it blew. looked at the ignition switch, starter relay in power center, and starter, couldn't see any problems. removed started relay from power center , put in new fuse and turned key about 50 times. No problem. Replaced starter relay, started about 50 times, no problem. So now I am waiting until it happens again. I can't reproduce it at will so have to wait. Anyone else have similar problems?

1997 Dodge Stratus not starting . . .
I'm sorry that this is not answering any questions but instead adding to them but...
my '97 Stratus worked fine one day and the next morning would not start. I have checked all the fuses in the dash box and the box next to the battery and none are blown. I cannot hear the starter solenoid but I can hear the fuel pump. I read somewhere that the PCM fuse could be causing this but isn't the radio linked to this same fuse? If so, my radio is working. Any comments or suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks, John aka dawoodman |
