The new battery delivers good electricity, but my 96 Intrepid 33L wont
turn
- completely dead, a silent death. Is it the starter, the solenoid or
what
else?
Can anyone help to locate the problem ? and please show me how to replace
them with new parts ?

Thank you!

What's about control lights, is voltage dropping below?

Regards,

Ralf

New battery delivers good electricity, but engine won't turn.
Completely dead.   Is it the starter, the solenoid or what?
And please tell me how to install the replacement parts.
__________________________________________________

Please provide a little more information:

1.)   How did the condition first appear?
2.)   Why did you install a new battery?
3.)   What shows that the battery is "delivering good electricity"?
4.)   Did the no-start condition exist with the old battery?
5.)   Do the dash lights dim when the key is turned to START?
6.)   Is there any sound at all when the key is turned to START?

If you describe the problem in as much detail as possible,
someone in this newsgroup will probably have a solution.

Good luck.

Rodan.

try this - Turn on the (fully charged batt) headlights to full bright, have
someone stand in front to one side, so they can see the headlights - turn
the ignition to start position -
if the lights dim out = bad connections or bad cables.
If you hear the starter (engage) click but not turn-the-engine-over =
starter motor issue.
If the starter just spins, no clicking = solenoid issue.
If the head lights stay bright, and no spinning or click sound = No starter
is connected ie perhaps someone needed more then you did!
