I was having problem with my the engine of my Dodge Intrepid overheating. It went on for a few days and I tended to the coolant system respectfully, but one day, I came to a stop in traffic at an intersection and it died. It hasn't turned on since. Coolant is still in the tank, and when I try to start the engine. I don't even hear the ignition.

Is the engine cranking over at all or just getting a click when you try to crank?

I opened her up again today in hopes of stumbling across the answer. I did in fact check the fuses and they all looked functional after close observation.

I did not check the above mentioned. I.E. Radio.

However, I do know that the power locks are working.

Seems as though ignition switch may failed, will need to have charging system and starter tested
