Re: 98 Intrigue - electrical problem starting

Okay it could be several things but we need to know more about the problem. When he turns the key does the starter turn over and act like it wants to start or will u turn the key and nothing? If it turns over but doesnt start he could have a bad Camshaft Position Sensor, Also it could be a bad Crankshaft Position Sensor. I had to replace both not too long ago on my 99 Intrigue. If it doesnt turn over at all look at his dash and see if his security light is flashing or illuminated. If it is he could have an ignition problem. Or a problem with the passlock which is a security feature the Intrigues have. IF it is the passlock you can try resetting it by trying this. Turn the key to the run position. Do not turn it over. Leave the key in the ign. on run for 10 minutes and the system should reset.. I did not get an engine light when my Crankshaft Position Sensor or my Camshaft Position Sensor went bad for some reason. Also there is a solenoid inside the starter that could have froze up, but if that is the case I believe the car wont even crank. Let us know what you find.
