Electrical problem
1994 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

In the last week or so, my car has started NOT starting after the sun has been shining on it for a while. In the morning? It will start. At night? It will start. After it's been sitting in the sun for a few hours? It won't start. The few times it did start in the heat, and I went somewhere, it took a couple of tries to get it to start again.

The radio works, the power seats work, the lights, the windows..everything works. It just won't start. Turning the key does nothing. No clicking noises- no noise at all.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Is the starter working when it doesn't start?

It was the ignition switch.

I'm glad you found the problem. I was going to work my way backwards with you starting at the starter, relay, then switch.

Let me know if you have questions in the future, and take care of yourself.
