Chrysler sebring won't start after going through puddle?

If the Chrysler Sebring won't start after going through a puddle, the problem is probably that the starter relay switch got wet. This is not a common thing but if the starter relay was bad to begin with, moisture will make the problem worse. The starter relay is located on the starter.


Does a 1990 Chevy Silverado have a starter relay you have replaced the starter and the switch located on the column under the dash and cannot find a problem with fuses or wires?

The starter relay is integrated into the starter. Have you checked the neutral lockout switch? If the neutral lockout switch is faulty or adjusted wrong the starter will never engage. It could also be that the starter wires are cross-connected. Using a volt meter, make sure you are getting voltage to the starter bendix when you attempt to start the engine. If not, start backtracking to the keyswitch to see where you DO have voltage.

How do you wire in a toggle switch to start the car?

By passkey. If you are talking about a starter by-pass. It is not keyed, but a push button on & off switch. You must break the small wire at the starter relay, or solenoid, and wire the switch in series. After the car starts, you must release the push on/off switch, or you will keep turning the starter motor.
