Ok i'll try i have a 1996 Dodge Caravan 3.0L when it gets cold out it won't. This started 2 years ago and once it got down to 10 degrees it just would not start. It has gotten worse since it started. now when it go's below 35 degrees it wont start. I have replaced the stater and battery and it still won't start when i turn the key nothing no crank no click nothin. i don't want to get rid of it but if i cant get it fixed im going to have to trade it in. I am a man of my word if the suggestion works i will make a donation without a second thought you can contact me at Bud248Fan@aol.com HELP HELP HELP

ok so when it gets cold it wont crank but all the lights and everythign else come on?

what i want you to do is at night take out the battery and bring it inside somewhere warm, then go outside the next day when its cold when it normally wont start hook it up and if it crank you need a new battery if not i would check the starter relay, may have moisture or something in it.
