How do you know if your starter is bad on 2002 dodge caravan?

Answer 1

check that you have a properly charged battery, key to run position. Use a short piece of wire. a larger paperclip formed into a a U will work, and jump the two terminals on the starter relay which is usually mounted on the firewall. If the starter turns over the engine you may have a PCM problem but it will usually throw off a code. Auto parts stores will check the starter but you have to remove it first.
