The Starter relay for Acclaims are located right on the starter, its what the wires that go to the starter hooks to.
Dead battery and/or alternator.
try haveing the relay/solinoid checked. mostly i think you may need to replace the relay. the relay clicking usually is a sign its dieing.
Yes, along with many other causes a bad fuel pump relay can cause a no start. The fuel pump relay provides power to the fuel pump.
Usually when a starter solenoid/relay switch is bad, you will hear only a click and the starter will not spin (crank).
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.
Your problem is prob the starter, if you hear grinding it def is, Tho if starter is good could be ignition relay
Check the fuel pump relay.

Time delay relayA relay which responds to a signal with a certain delay. In some ignition systems, a time delay relay allows for full vacuum advance 20-30 seconds after start-up, after which control is again taken up by the TCS; some cars have an additional time delay relay which delays vacuum advance about 30 seconds after the transmission has been shifted to high gear
Could be clogged injectors. Run a pint of Sea Foam in the gasoline. No guaranty's but it has worked for me.

Check the fuel pump relay. It's on the passenger side fender between the battery and strutt tower. Have someone turn the ignition to the run position (don't start the engine) while you listen, the fuel pump relay will click when it turns on. Run the vehicle until the pump stops working and check for the click again. If it doesn't click replace the relay.
Take a test light connect it to a good ground and find the wire that has 12volts or "lights up" the test light ONLY when turning the key to the full start position and will not light on accessory or run.
This answer pertains to a 1991 Plymouth AcclaimThe Starter Relay is located behind the battery attached to the schock housing. In order to diagnose the problem you will need a jumper wire to insert in to the connectors. When you hear the starter turn then the jumper is succesfull and you can continue to diagnose the problem.The Part number to look for is 83159 on top of the relay. If you feel the relay is at fault, you may try to manually start the relay.1) Remove the relay from the connector2) Gently tap the relay on a flat surface male pin connectors down (i used the top of the shock housing) until the entire relay falls out3) push in the spring loaded plate closed to make a connectionWhen you reinstall the relay allign the relay before snapping back into placeF. Garay UPDATE FROM SOMEONE ELSE:I drive a 1991 Dodge Spirit which is the same as the acclaim. The 83159 is the fuel pump relay. The other relays look exactly the same, but are different, as you will see with the part numbers. All the relays are interchangeable except the fuel pump relay 83159. So, I would do the test mentioned above. But do it on the other relays to find the starter one. Without the wiring schematic, there is no other way to know which is which.
