I have a 2000 Dodge Neon. I just replaced the battery a week ago, my alternator is fine. My car is dead every morning. When I get it jumped it runs all day. Why does it do this?

SOURCE: 96 dodge neon wont start

When you turn the key, does the starter turn? If you just hear a humming sound, then the arburture (the little gear in the starter) is turning but not ingagging into the flywheel (the big gear that turns your motor). Also, if it starts to turn the motor but then stops, it could be the starter as well, maybe the solenoid that attaches to the starter is starting to go. Hope this helps.

Why won't my key turn the ignition for my 2000 Dodge Stratus. The steering wheel is not locked but neither key will turn in the ignition.
Probably aftermarket alarm. Should be a small switch close to it to turn it off. If it were mine, I would remove the system .

2004 dodge neon will not turn over
have you replaced the battery? the car draws it's electricity from the battery, then the alternator replaces the charge to the battery. if the battery is shot and will no longer hold a charge the car will not stay running once you remove the charge as in removing the jumper cables

Hi- i have a 1999 Dodge Neon that started just fine this morning. i just tried to go some place and it won't start, the lights won't come on, there is no ''clicking'' noise, the power locks don't work....
i have worked on a neon before that had that same problem.so check the connections to your brake lights,stop lights,reverse lights,and turn lights.they could have a bad connection and its draining the battery.that was the problem i had so maybe your having the same exact problem.it had took me weeks to find that problem.i would jump start the car and it would run fine,let it sit for a couple of hours and the battery would be dead.so anyways ya check that i can almost bet thats your problem.

THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON TO ALERT YOU TO THE FACT THAT THE BATTERY IS NOT BEING CHARGED BY THE ALTERNATOR, IT DOESN'T MEAN THE BATTERY HAS A PROBLEM, HAVE THE ALTERNATOR TESTED FOR PROPER OPERATION.
