94 chrysler concorde wont start

[bossman4101]

When I turn the key it just makes a single click, and nothing, but the radio and lights and windows all work. It may take a few tried up to 100 tries but it always evuentally starts. I haven't yet taken it to a shop hopeing that it is any easy fix. It just started getting worse when it got cold and it does this when it has been sitting for hours like overnight or while at work.

I would suspect the starter try tapping it when it refuses to start... solonoid is probably sticking.

Try cleaning the battery post and connectors. Also check the connection at the starter and the ground point. Any place the battery cables lead to. May be just corroded and dirty connectors.

have the same thing it wont start, but when you about to give up it start.

Have exactly the same problem on my 94. Have already cleaned/replaced the cable terminals and have a pretty new battery in it. I will follow buckroo's suggestion and complete the cleaning steps. It DOES seem that the battery terminal cleaning made an improvement in that the problem occurs less frequently. Mostly happens on cold mornings now.

Chrystler/dodge vehicles are notorious for their crankshaft positioning sensors going outi had the same problem with my 93 and after changing the sensor it fired right up.
