Re: {Chrysler 300} 64 starting problem and work around

["'pffkllc@xxxxxxx' via Chrysler 300 Club International" <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would guess that you need a new starter relay, but you can use a screw driver to jump it as a quick fix.   I had that problem with my K several years ago.  New relay, and it will work.  Strange that they would all go at once though.

As to why this happened to
All 3 not a clue.
I would suspect the neutral safety switch or circuit.
It provides a ground for starter when car is in
Park or neutral.
