2008 dodge charger cranks for split of secnd then stops!
Ok, I believe I have a electrical issue with my 08
Charger, BUT im no expert and ran out of ideas.. At
first there was a bad rod bearing which was
replaced.. Since reassembling the motor, the car
would not start. It cranks for split of a second then
stops.. I get all powers and everything works..
except that the car does not fully crank and If I keep
trying for a while the starter eventually fries..
checked the crank fly wheel and noticed that the
engine was REALLY hard to turn.. Not surprised
since the oil had metal shards everywhere.. Did a
full engine swap at home.. after all was done, SAME
PROBLEM... I do notice that when I try to start and
get the small crank, all lights go on including the red
security light.. Went ahead and towed the car to
Dodge and had them replace the ignition switch;
they also replaced the keys.. NO LUCK! Dodge is
telling me that the engine (which was replaced) is
seized.. However the engine moved freely when I
checked on the crank wheel.. Can anyone tell me
what the problem could be??? Dodge is giving me
a hard time because they think I am stupid but I
don't think the engine is the problem... Can anyone
help???
