I have a 1996 3.3 dodge intrepid. I put the key in ignition and my dome lights come on and you can hear the dinging noise. However when I go to turn the key none of my dash lights are on and the car will not start or make any noise what’s so ever. I checked the battery, starter, ignition switch and relay and it still will not work. I noticed a fuse was blown so i changed it then went to start my car my dash lights came on but the car will not start and fuse keeps blowing. ---

What do you mean you checked the battery? What exactly did you do? As Tester said - What Fuse? Any fuse that keeps blowing tells me you have a short someplace. ---

Looking at the wiring diagram, it looks like you need an ignition switch. Tester ---

The starter solenoid is shorted, I have replaced a few Mopar starters because of this. Unplug the starter solenoid wire from the starter and see if the fuse blows. ---
