2001 Chrysler Concorde Automatic 91000 miles

new used engine less then a month old put in our car. It worked great last 3 weeks. Last weekend we drove the car to a party, and everything was fine. Tried to leave the next day and the car would NOT start, let alone turn over. Now the power windows, seats and keyless entry will not work. We have checked all fuses, battery and more. We got a handheld tester from Autozone to test to see if it could read anything wrong and it came up with NO CODES. What can be the cause of it not starting or anything? Single mom of 3, Please help me!

Forget the codes. They refer to things that affect tail pipe emissions. Problems with sensors that prevent the engine from running can be detected but if the engine isn't even cranking, you have an entirely different problem.

If you hear one loud clunk from the starter, but it doesn't spin the engine, suspect worn solenoid contacts. That's real common, and they can be replaced, but most people just replace the entire starter. If you continue cycling the ignition switch enough times, eventually it will crank the engine. This problem gradually gets worse over a few weeks or months.
