| anybody ever figure out how to resuscitate a dead dashboard? i have an odometer reading but no lights and no radio. I saw similar posts in the past but no remedy? | |

my 2003 PT would occassionally not cold start - finally will not start at all. replaced battery - that was good for a week but i think it's daed now. replaced the starter - and i do believe the old one was bad. this one will crank - if i bypass the ignition switch but vehicle will not start. dash is totally dead. needles use to jump now and then when dash worked. wondering if dash problems related to car not starting. reigning theories now if that the ignition needs replacing and that my key might be bad. i've seen tons of these posts in here but never any solution. i'd be happy to install a starter button just to drive it so i can trade it in. for you foglight problem people - i pulled that fuse years ago. |

keys are ok. i can jump the starter with the ignition on (and with ignition wires connected) but no spark - it won't start. all fuses are ok. is there a fusible link in the pt? tia!

Replying to: geek5 (Mar 30, 2009 12:29 pm) another mentions a fusible link to the alternator. I can just see the alternator. but i'll want a confirmation before i pull the motor out to look closer.

Replying to: geek5 (Apr 02, 2009 6:28 am) 30 Amp fuse was making/breaking contact. It looked good visually and continuity check at one point was good but it was blown, ever so slightly. Suggestion for haunting syndrome of electrical problems: don't check the fuses, REPLACE THEM! |

Ok so my running lights and interior dash light all went out the same night. They didn't flicker, there was no pop, snap nor crakle; they worked when I parked the car at a resturant and the after eating I came out to a dark car. The blinders work, the head lights work and the hazard lights work, but the front and rear running lights won't turn on. I had teh fusses check, i changed the bulbs and i even bought a brand new multi purpose switch and changed it out, but the freaking lights still won't turn on. And now the freaking brake lights are on and won't turn off. Would anyone happen to now what I can do without having to go through the dealer and spending a crap load amount of money. Oh also that new switch I bought is back in the box and if anyone wants to buy it let me know. I paid $37 for it and will sell it for $25; it cam straight from the dealer.

I have a 2006 PT CONV 2.4T, Stage 1, which was purchased new in April 2007, 22,000 miles on it. 3 weeks ago the battery light would intermittently come on, I would turn off the engine and restart and the light would stay off. It has progressed to the point that it now comes on after starting when the brake is pressed. It dosen't come on if I turn on the engine and it sits at idle in the drive. Any ideas? The OEM battery was replaced last September, battery connections to the OEM cables replaced at the same time. Is there a way to get the diagnostic code, and if so how?
