Remove the negative cable first, then the positive one.

Start by using a proper sized wrench and remove the battery connector, then go to the starter by following the cable to the other end and disconnect it. Replace by reversing the order - far end first and battery last. Reconnect the negative cable first and the positive last.

Tune up (plugs,wires,and distributor cap) was done on a '97 Dodge Avenger with the 2.5l engine because it wouldn't start. It ran for 1 day after the tune up,but will not start now. No spark at the plugs. Any suggestions? Thanks

SOURCE: How hard is it to replace the water pump on a 1997

c6f48b0.gif The pump is driven by the timing belt so you basically need to take the front of the motor apart. It is quite a job to get at it but is doable. If you are going to do the job I'd suggest changing the timing belt, tensioner pulleys and the cam and crankshaft seals as well, may as well do some preventative maintenance while it is apart. I've got the whole proceedure and will make u a copy if you want.

SOURCE: how do you change a positve battery cable on a

First a little more clarification would be helpful in, Why do you think the cable needs replaced? If the cable is corroded at terminal connection a new connection fitting is much more simpler than cable replacement. Nonetheless, remove the negative battery cable first, then the positive. (1)Clean the corroded area's with baking soda and water mixture (you should wear eye and hand protection- battery acid will eat through clothing in a matter of minutes).Scrub gently with nylon brush -using a wire brush can cause sparks and may cause a fire from hydrogen gas escaping form battery. Flush with clean water and your ready to start the next process. (2)Assuming you will adding a new terminal connection fitting - cut off bad fitting with wire cutters or hack saw, skin back wire about ONE inch and install new cable fitting.(3) install / reconnect battery. (4) Your cars computer will be cleared of all learned shifting patterns and other feedback information. It will revert back to factory preprogrammed settings. Average cost of replacement cable clamp $3.50. New cable cost to starter +$30.00

Happy motoring.

2012 DODGE AVENGER WONT START AFTER CHANGING HEATER CORE WHAT TO DO

Check battery, it might've run it down while the door was opened, also check for wires that might've accidentally gotten disconnected. Heater core does not have anything to do with it not starting.

How do I find the crankshaft position sensor on the 2012 Dodge Avenger 2.4 liter 4 cylinder

Register for free at Autozone.com, and list this Avenger as your car. Then you can look under "repair guides" and find ":component locations" for the sensor. They probably also have removal procedures for helping you locate and remove it.

I own a 2012 dodge avenger 2.4L engine and my crankshaft position sensor needs to be replaced. My question is where exactly is that located?

My info says rear of engine. Check close to where flywheel would be. The picture that my database shows, there is no orientation, you can't tell what your looking at in the picture.

How to change battery in 2008 dodge avenger

Disconnect negative battery cable first then positive then remove battery hold down screws and install in reverse. Use rubber gloves to prevent battery acid with skin contact. I prefer using rubber pliers on negative battery cable. I feel its safer. When putting negative battery cable on, place on holding rubber part not the metal contacts.

1999 dodge avenger the positive battery cable has three ends and two of the ends are burned like 4 inches down the cables. how do I fix them? Do I need to replace the whole cable? Thank you. Guillermo...

cut them a little and find the same gauge wire and just splice them back together ive spliced many wires for batteries so trust me this will work.

Have a 97 dodge avenger it 3 leads off positive battery cable one goes to the emc and brain the big one tow the starter but the third one is getting melt down kinda hot and i was wondering were it goes...

The third wire is shorted out to ground. Remove the positive cable from the battery, remove the third wire from the positive battery cable. Re-attach the battery cable. Whatever doesn't work now is what that third cable powered up. Since you have to replace the third wire anyway this is a good way to determine what the third wire controls.
