I have a challenging one for ya. I have a 2004 chrysler pacifica that probably won't begin. I have complete battery energy pack, tried changing the beginning and still no go. The relays are excellent in the blend box... I am out of concepts.... any suggestions?.

Default 2004 Pacifica won't start

If it's the negative battery connection, like in the picture, then you should be able to start it by using your jumper cables from black negative to block/motor/bolt as suggested earlier. Unfortunately I tried this and it won't start. Battery seems fine, everything works, radio, light etc.. but it won't even crank or make any noise when I try to start it. It has a new alternator and starter. It ran great earlier and after we parked it, it won't restart. Any suggestions that I should try...Need help.

I know this is old, but this thread saved my sanity!!!!

The jumper cables DID NOT work for me. I was three seconds away from starting the starter removal process.

I did all the above, even putting the jumper on the actual bolt and still didn't get anything from the starter. After attaching the ground to the a new ring, charging the battery, it started right up.

There was so much corrosion on the tip, it just wasn't enough to ground.

I'm having the same problem! I realize this is an old post, but did you ever figure out what was wrong? I'm stranded 30 miles from home right now trying to get it to start!

the fix is a good sized wire directly from negative terminal to one of the starter bolts. (i used a 4 gauge) it starts like it never started before.
I had the same issue going on tried the jumper cables like you suggested and the car started cranking over but still won't start.. Do you have any other suggestions?
