I have been having trouble with the car starting for some time now. It has been cranking over about 20 times before it actually fires and it was shaking the car until it fired. I changed the starter a few weeks ago and it fixed the shaking problem but it still has to fire about 20 times before it starts. I think it is either a bad fuel injector or an old battery with low cranking amps. (cars works at this point) However, before I could work on this problem I have a whole new problem. The car does not start at all now, it doesn't even turn over. When I turn the key to start the car, I get 1 click and then everything in my car is dead. The windows, radio, and lights do not work any more. I turn the key off then back on everything is still dead and remains that way until I disconnect the neg battery terminal and reconnect it to the battery. I then try to start the car again and get the one click and then everything is dead again. I have checked to see if the wires have came loose on the starter, and they are still tight. I have replaced the battery, and tried to jump the car. Any advise?

We were turning down our street coming home from work when the engine just died. When we tried to start it, there wasn't even a click of the starter let alone the engine cranking. But the lights, radio and windows worked. I disconnected the battery in hopes of clearing whatever error might have caused the problem, but then I got the symptoms of the battery being low on charge. So I put the charger on and the meter showed it being low, drawing 9v. It has come up quite a bit in the past 1/2 hour or so and is now only drawing about 4-5v. However, I'm not able to get the Click sound from the starter even. Here are some details and other symptoms. 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L V-6 154k miles Transmission rebuilt on Fathers Day by a local shop. Pretty good rep. No, I don't get the Check Engine light on when turning the Key on. And yes, it has been on in the past and I have had 3 people Diagnose it at Service stations and I have received 3 different (completely) reasons why it's on. No, I don't hear the Fuel Pump prime at "On" either. My Gas Gauge shows empty when I know there's about 1/2 tank. Yes, I have 500 different electrical issues with the van, from rear heat/blower quit working to the tailgate opening on it's own and continually trying to open til it died one day. Front Air/Heater blower only works on high and the rear wiper started funking out a couple weeks ago. Aside from driving it off a cliff, which I can't right now because of it's lack of Any motion, What are some possibilities of the problem I'm facing now. Thanks, JJ
