We have a '98 Dodge Caravan
It has about 210,000 kilimetres
I would guess its a V6 3 litre, Automatic

And it does not start
When I turn the key, It doesn't even make the starting noise, it just clicks over. and the gas,rpm,etc. guages twitch a little bit.
and after you attempt to start it, it just rattles right above the brake pedal area for very long.
My dad tried to get rid of the rattle by pulling a fuse out
but neither the fuses right of the brake pedal or right in the engine will stop this rattle.

any help ?
thanks a lot

sincerely,
Simon

i belive what you are looking at is a bad ignition switch, take it out and have it tested.
