So I had my dodge put in a shop to get the timing belt replaced, it got finished and ran great for one day. The next morning I got up to warm my car up, I turned the key and nothing happens, no clicking or fuel pump priming or nothing. So I changed the starter myself, also replaced the ignition switch and the ign relay and still nothing! I know the battery is good because I had taken it to advanced auto and had it tested so I don't know what to do and reallydont want to put it in the garage again BC the $300 bill for one days use. Please if anyone could offer some advice that would be greatly appreciated! Please feel free to message me here or email me at makiyahsdad@yahoo. Com thanks

THINGS CAN HAPPEN FAST

YOU HAD THE BATTERY TESTED PRIOR TO THE CURRENT PROBLEM OR AFTER?

MAY NEED IT CHECKED AGAIN.......LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF IT IS THE SAME BATTERY YOU HAD PRIOR TO THE REPAIR (SEEN THAT TOO!)

IT COULD BE POSSIBLE YOU HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM.......LIKE MAYBE YOU ATTEMPTED A "JUMP" AND ARCED THE CABLES?....SECURITY ISSUE?

OK..........DOWN TO WHAT I SEE THE MOST.....USUALLY, THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH SYMPTOMS LIKE YOURS
