1999 Dodge Status Dashboard Problems It Is Not Starting

The 1999 Dodge has a dashboard with status lights that indicate a problem. If you cant start your car and your dashboard isnt lighting up, the problem is probably the battery. The car battery sends electricity to your dashboard and to the engine to start. You can test your battery to see if you need a new one.

Instructions

1

Remove the key from the ignition and pop the hood to gain access to the battery.

2

Tighten the connections to the battery terminals with a pair of pliers or a pair of channel locks. Try to start the vehicle.

3

Look over the battery terminal cables. If you find any corrosion on the terminals, use a can of soda and a stiff wire brush to clean the terminals.

4

Use a voltmeter to test the batterys charge. Place the red and black testing leads from the voltmeter to the red and black terminals on the battery.

5

Look at the reading. If its less than 11 to 12 volts, the battery needs to be replaced.

6

Replace the battery with a new one. If the car still wont start, have the car towed to a service shop for a diagnostics test.
