Starter Relay Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 23 other vehicles, including the 2000 Plymouth Voyager, 2000 Plymouth Neon, 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager, 2000 Plymouth Breeze, and 2000 Dodge Stratus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Perform SOLENOID CIRCUIT TEST before testing starter relay.

NOTE: Relay terminals are identified using Bosch numbers. See Fig 1 , Fig 2 or Fig 3 . On Breeze, Cirrus, Concorde, Intrepid, LHS, Neon, Sebring Convertible, Stratus & 300M, relay cavity terminals in PDC are identified using wiring letters or numbers. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . For identification, see appropriate RELAY TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table. On Caravan, Dakota, Durango, Pickup, Town & Country, and Voyager, relay and relay cavity terminals in PDC are identified using Bosch numbers.

Remove starter relay from Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to PDC cover for proper relay location. PDC is located in engine compartment. Connect 12-volt power source to starter relay terminal No. 86 and ground terminal No. 85. See Fig 1 , Fig 2 or Fig 3 . Using ohmmeter, check continuity across starter relay terminals No. 30 and 87. If continuity is not present, replace starter relay.
