Best Answer

This is often a faulty serpentine belt (the belt that runs the alternator, steering pump, water pump, AC compressor and so on). Check the back (underside) of the belt for cracks. If there are more than a few cracks per inch, the belt needs to be replaced before it breaks or starts slipping badly.

This problem is often worse on wet days. Also note that your vehicle might have two belts rather than one, but most vehicles have only one.

If the Chrysler is only making a clicking noise and will not start, check the starter. Also check the alternator, and the battery. The starter solenoid is more than likely the reason the car is clicking and not starting.
