1998 Chrysler New Yorker 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

ny car will not start. Even when attempting a jump start. Drove home from work last night, went to store, came back, and parked for the night. Went to go to work and would not start, click or any indication that it was trying to turn over

Probable causes: Could be the starter motor itself, starter relay, ignition switch, fuses and the PCM starter motor relay control

First it is best to take your battery terminals off and clean the inside of the terminals and posts. This is a typical problem that occurs often on many cars. I would do that before replacing a starter. Since it makes a clicking sound, that says that the starter solenoid is getting voltage to it; but if it isn't enough, voltage, it won't crank over, so try cleaning the terminals and posts first and have the battery tested if it doesn't work after that.
