I have a 2011 Chrysler 200 with an automatic transmission and a 2.4L engine.
Please tell me where the starter relay is located.
I'll tell you but you ain't going to like it.
The starter relay is part of the circuitry of your TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module).
That's your under hood fuse/relay box.
Vanishing are the days when you could just pop the top on your engine compartment fuse box and replace a starter or A/C relay.
Manufacturers are building them into the circuitry of the boxes. They aren't replaceable.
If you pop the top off of the box you'll see plastic latches on the side. Release them and you can pull the TIPM out of the box.
Flip it over and you'll see this wire.
That's the wire sending the power to engage your starter.
But all is not lost if you just want to know if your starter is the problem or the relay/ECU signal to the relay is the problem.
Remove the large connector in front of the starter relay connector.
Then remove the starter relay connector.
Apply battery voltage to the terminal on the connector for that wire.
If the starter turns, it isn't a problem with the starter or the wiring between the TIPM and the starter.
In light of what @jack62 says, perhaps you should tell us more about your problem so we can help you fix it. Hopefully it's not a non-replaceable part.
It's a pain. I inherited a 2005 Nissan Altima. (pre-CVT transmission). No real complaints but I don't drive it that much.
My A/C failed.
I'm a "check the ECU signals (ground) and voltages at the relay " first type of guy.
Even in 2005 Nissan built the A/C relay into their version of their under hood "Totally Integrated Power Module".
A 5 minute job to check power/ground at the relay took 1/2 hour
The n/0 contacts are fused together. This results in the starter continually running. I cut the wire going to the starter relay and installed a push button for a temporary fix.
Is the TIPM the box with cooling fin that is attached to the fire wall?
Thanks for your help guys.
