1997 Dodge Intrepid 3.3L won't start!! Help please!!!!!!!

[msdaisydukes]

I have a 1997 Dodge Intrepid and it won't start. I can jump it and it will start that way but once I shut it off and try to start it again it won't. When I turn the key over it makes a noise like as if you put a card in a fan when it's on(That's if I try to turn it over as sson as I shut the car off).If I wait a few minutes after turning it off I have no power at all. Not even dash lights.
I have recently changed the battery,alternator, fuel pump, plugs and wires and the ground cable. For some reason I'm not getting any power to the alternator. I have tested the plug on the alternator for power and there's nothing. I have checked all the fusses inside and out and they are all good. I have also check the relays and they seem to be good too.
The car starting draining the battery before I changed everything out and once I replaced everything I drove it for a week with no problems at all and I let it sit one day and went out to start it the next day and the battery was dead. I took the battery back to the place where I got it and found out the battery was bad so they gave me a new one and we put it in again but I'm still having problems.
Does anybody have any ideas as to why I'm not getting any power to my alternator and or why it won't start???? Any help is very much appreciated.

It is the alternator. Have just went through the same issue. The alternator is not putting out enough voltage. Replace the alternator perferrably not from autozone and you should be back in business. The reason I say not autozone, is because I got 3 different alternators and they were all bad. Got one from napa, now it is working as it should.

So the batt holds around 12 to 13 volts,the alt puts out let say 14.5. Car runs for a a long period of time.If the alt is not working it is not putting 14 some odd volts back in. If it is running on the batt the car will in fact stop running sooner or latter. That statement comes with a warranty! This car and I'll venture to say that your car had a bad connection someplace.You just happen to find it. i would suggest using a volt meter to check the stating current at the batt, starter and then the alt.

Trouble codes for all Intrepids 1993-2004
GA_googleFillSlot("Forums_ROS_300x250_noad"); Hello everyone,

I've created this thread to help out those who have a Dodge Intrepid or any Daimler-Chrysler vehicle that was built from 1996-present. If you have a check engine light and need to know what the code is, visit this website to give you the answer(s) to your code issues. The website is:
http://autorepair.about.com/cs/troub...l_obd_main.htm.

If you have a 1993-1995 Intrepid and you have a check engine light, you can find out what the codes are by following this process:
1. Turn the ignition key on/off 3xs ending in the ON position
2. Watch the "CHECK ENGINE" light and see if it flashes.
3. If it flashes twice then pauses and flashes again another 4xs, that's a code 24, for example. You have put the computer in diagnostic mode and it will now display any codes that have been stored in memory. Here is a list of all codes that can be displayed and what they mean:

12- Problem with stand-by memory circuit. Direct battery input to controller disconnected within the last 50 ignition key-ons.
13- Indicates a problem with the MAP sensor pneumatic system.
14- MAP sensor voltage too low or too high.
15- A problem with the vehicle speed sensor signal. No speed sensor signal detected during driving conditions.
16- Loss of battery voltage
17- Engine coolant temperature indicating engine temperature cold too long.
21- Oxygen sensor voltage not fluctuating.
22- Coolant sensor voltage too high or too low.
23- Throttle body temp sensor below acceptable parameters.
24- Throttle position sensor voltage too high or too low.
25- Automatic Idle Speed motor detects a shorted condition in one or more circuits
26- Peak Injector current has not been reached.
27- One of the injector control circuit output drivers does not respond properly to the control signal.
31- Problem with the canister purge solenoid circuit
32- An open or shorted condition detected in the EGR transducer circuit.
33- Air conditioning clutch relay circuit open or shorted.
34- Open or shorted condition found in the speed control vacuum or vent solenoid circuit.
35- Radiator fan relay circuit open or shorted.
36- Problem with the air switching solenoid circuit.
37- Open or shorted condition detected in the torque converter unlock solenoid circuit.
41- Problem with charging system. Voltage below 11.75.
42- ASD (Automatic ShutDown) relay control open or shorted.
43- Engine misfire in one or more cylinders.
44- Ambient/Battery Temperature too high or too low.
45- Transmission temp sensor not indicating warm condition.
46- Charging system voltage too high.
47- Charging system voltage too low.
51- Oxygen sensor signal indicates a lean condition.
52- Oxygen sensor signal indicates a rich condition.
53- Internal PCM failure.
54- No cam signal to PCM.
55- End of code message.
62- Unsuccessful attempt to update EMR mileage in the controller EEPROM.
63- PCM failure. EEPROM write denied.

These are all the codes for most 1993-1995 and a few 96 and 97 Intrepids. If you need any others if I missed them, please let me know.

check the wires to starter sol. possible fusable link

how about checking the dates .... this is closed !
