The Dodge Stratus might not start because the battery is dead or the starter is worn or damaged. It might not start because it is out of gas or because the fuel line has water or air in it.
If your 1996 Dodge Stratus wonÕt start you can try to jump start the car. There is no reset button like a computer. You can recharge your car battery with a jump start.
are u sure the original problem was the battery and do you have the cables hooked up correctly.
Sounds like a battery problem. Check the battery. Clean and tighten the battery terminals and cable ends.

AnswermY 1996 DODGE STRATUS WON'T START UNLESS JUMPED, WHEN I SUT IT OFF IT WON'T RESTART 7 BATTERY DASH LITE COMES ON.My '99 Stratus was giving me similar problems. You should check the battery terminals and have the battery tested. Usually, a battery leaks acid and builds corrosion eating away at the terminals so that you will have the dome light and even radio but it will not be able to start. Does it make any clicking noises?
jump start it.
It's a dodge so yes it would tra-tu s tart
Assuming the battery and starter crank the engine, check for fuel and spark. You are probably missing one of those.
Probably it's a low battery, though it could be a bad starter. You are probably hearing the starter solenoid clicking.
