I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota, V-8, 74,000 miles.
When you turn the ingnition switch to the start position, nothing happens. Battery is good, lights do not dim when trying to start. There are no clicks or any sounds when trying to start. Checked all fuses. Any help would be appreciated.

The fact you tell me nothing happens and the lights DON"T go dim leads me to believe you have a problem with the cables or connection at the starter. Check the battery terminals and make sure they are tight and clean. Then see if it starts. If not check the connections on the starter, make sure they are tight. The only other thing I can think of is the ignition switch is bad, but this is unlikely your probably. Hope this helps :o Backyardmechanic
