    No exaggeration here, this was one of the most helpful videos I've ever come across in regards to troubleshooting. Girlfriend has a 2002 PT Cruiser that has the EXACT same issue with her stereo lights being touchy, car intermittently decides not to crank (generally when its hot outside for some reason) and thanks to this video I at least have a starting point. Thanks so much for taking the time here, very well done, concise yet comprehensive, thank you!

    @Motorcarnut I just bought a 2001 pt limited and I knew it had a couple of issues. Have been able to fix everything but this had me stumped. Today, went to start had no crank or start. Jumped it and let it charge for a bit, worked fine. Started driving and the gauges started moving all over the place, windshield wipers turned on (front and rear) and seat warmers came on. Pulled over, turned off the car and smelled something burning. Haven't been able to crank or start since and now the dash says "no fuse". Any tips on where I should look exactly?

    • @Motorcarnut
      @Motorcarnut  Рік тому

      There seems to be a short somewhere, did you check the fuse in back of the fuse block like in the video? Smelling something burning can be anything, hard to help as it should be diagnosed with a scan tool.

    2004 Chrysler pt cruiser... Died while I was driving it, lost power even hard to turn wheel as well as there's a light directly in the middle of of the temperature gauge& fuel gauge is illuminating (also brake light on). It will not turn over at all and it's a brand new battery 3 days ago was replaced by AAA. It does have a security system not a key chip. I'm so confused. Thank you for reading this & your reply.

    • @Motorcarnut

      You seem to have a short in the power door lock circuit. Probably the module.

    Just purchased a 2008, and it seems to be very moody. Test drive, no problems. Next day around town, no problem. Went to a client and came back out to leave and car wouldn't start. Dash lights fine, no crank. Hooked up a battery charger overnight (great clients of ours!) then came back in the morning - did the lock and unlock via the remote several times because I suspected the theft deterrent system. Got in... started right up. Fathers Day 2022 we visited my dad (40 minutes easch way) - no problems. Got back home and needed to go out to the store for something - car was shut off for literally about 5 minutes - won't start. Won't crank.
    Rides fine, roomy, great look for a couple of hippies. But I need the peace of mind that when I put the key in, the car is going to get me where I'm going. Can you help me? Possible starter?

    • @Motorcarnut
      @Motorcarnut  2 роки тому

      Could be the starter, has those symptoms. When it happens again try banging the starter with a hammer not too hard and see if it starts. Still that doesn’t mean it ain’t the starter but worth a try. Sometimes the armature has a dead spot and the bang can move it enough to start. The relay is another thing to check. If you’re not experiencing any problems like in my video I would start from that.

  • @btomas225

    Umm, when a fuse blows there's usually a reason. Just replacing the fuse may temporarily get you going but it always behooves you to look further. Chafed or worn through wiring, as the OP in this video pointed out, would be a good place to start. But if it blew once it will likely get you again if you don't locate the issue. JMO....

    • @Motorcarnut
      @Motorcarnut  Рік тому

      Very true, however fuses can just blow sometimes when they are old or have a bad connection in the fuse block etc.

    Hi I have no power to my 2002 pt cruiser. I was driving and it just died! Replaced the battery but still NO POWER. I checked the fuses inside and out. I was vibrating like crazy the day before. Almost like I was driving 100 on flat tires. Also I did notice the battery terminal was broken from corrosion. That has also been replaced. Please help! Single mom and spent last money on a battery. Have been stuck since Wednesday Thank you so much for this video

    • @Motorcarnut

      Did you check that fuse behind the fuse panel?

    • @steamedpheonix
      @steamedpheonix Рік тому

      Hey! Thanks for your quick response! Yes I did! Yesterday I decided to redo the other power cables coming into the main one. (I think one is for the starter and the other one I believe was the issue. Even after visually checking it I thought it was ok. I pulled it off and redid the connection and automatically my flashers came on! I immediately was able to start and drive!! Thank God!! Your video’s did help me so much! I found that my switch is loose as well. After watching one of your videos. I pushed in on my key and my radio is doing the exact thing. On and off depending on whether I’m pushing it in or not. I’m going to change that. Asap one question? So I have to reprogram anything? Or is this something I can do myself? Sorry but I forgot your answer to this. Thanks again!! You’re awesome

    We hit a pothole yesterday, and now it wont crank. The battery is good. When he turns the key, the lights in the car,everything comes on . We think something got knocked loose or something. But my husband has COPD and Emphysema, can't breathe trying to get this car going, the motor being so compact. HE's never worked on Chrysler cars, so we don't know what to do. LIke where is the starter? How do we trace the cables to that? I'm in a panic, cause I have to work in the morning. We havent got the money to have it serviced, cause of so many bills to pay on a weekly basis. IT's been dragging he said since the weather has changed. Idk.Could be the starter, but he can't get to it. I may have no choice but to put it in the shop.We have no 2nd car. I dont know what to do.

    • @Motorcarnut
      @Motorcarnut  Рік тому

      Too many variables, what year pt cruiser? Did it shut off as soon as you hit the pot hole? What been dragging? This problem? Sorry hard to give advice like this.

    • @celinamoore2350
      @celinamoore2350 Рік тому

      @@Motorcarnut 2004 PT Cruiser with 2.4 liter Turbo Engine. No, it didn't shut of as soon as we hit the pothole, did it when we got home and turned off the car. When we tried to crank to back up to get closer to our sidewalk, it wouldn't crank. The car was dragging like hesitant to start. My husband said he thinks it was the starter. I had it towed yesterday to a mechanic, cause the starter is down too far to get off. They are gonna replace the starter, I hope that's the problem.

    Kind of off subj but do you know anything about a NO BUS flashing on the cluster?

    • @Motorcarnut
      @Motorcarnut  3 роки тому +1

      Probably a bad connection between instrument cluster and computer, most likely cause is a bad cluster

    Hey, these PT cruiser have a constant battle with electrical issues Not big problems but it's this nickel in diamond. Yeah, the way I see it is. After about 100000 miles get rid of it. It seems they're not big repairs but they're just gonna keep nickel and Dime you. I seen 7 of them in the junk Yard recently You know just a thought.

    My 2001 PT Cruiser won’t crank, it won’t start, the anti theft light is on and popping up No Bus . Do you know what this could be ? Thank you so much. I can’t find any videos or anything .

    • @Motorcarnut
      @Motorcarnut  3 роки тому

      The "No Bus means that your instrument cluster is not communicating with the PCM.
      Did you check the fuse I mentioned in the video? Also make sure all fuses are not blown. It’s always better to check the simple things first. And how did this problem come about?
