starter relay location

the car does not have a starter relay per say because it is integrated into the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) which located on the left side of the engine compartment. Have you checked for power at the starter trigger (Small wire) when key is in crank position?

If the TIPM is faulty the wiring diagrams and replacement instructions are attached below

Best, Ken

I need to locate the exact placement of the starter motor relay

There isn't one. That function is built into the TIPM, (Totally Integrated Power Module). There is no relay. See the previous post for wiring diagrams

Which one is it please? These are relays that I am able to find.

none of them. the starter is controlled by the TPIM module under the fuse box.

Use this video to confirm the issue.

Please run down this guide and report back.

As HMAC says, that car does not use a conventional relay, instead it is controlled inside the "totally integrated power module". What is the issue? No crank? No power? The TIPM is know to cause a lot of issues. Chrysler has a few tech sheets out on them, most end up with the same repair, replace TIPM module.

I had the starter replaced and the battery. Then the same thing happened again (just clicking/won't start). So, I had that one replaced. It happened again. Is is possible to have two bad starters replaced, or should they be looking for something else? Please help me!!!...I am stressed over this, and have to keep making arrangements to get to work.

User note: look at the relays ... all of them . you have to take the front bumper off maybe. they are under the battery compartment

Are the starters new or refurbished? Sounds like there may be a draw somewhere that is causing the battery to go dead. Also, you may want to check out the alternator to make sure that it is charging the battery correctly.

Good Luck.

User note: this is a very common problem with the dodge caliber . ordinary people are solving this issue because mechanics want to replace 2000 dollars worth of parts and labour without thinking...

Have the starter bench tested to see if it is good. I would also look at the battery cables and connections. Make sure they are tight and clean.

there is a second relay location, lower left engine compartment, below the headlight! thats where the starter relays are located!
