My 99 seems to be having problems with the starter (battery seems fine, turn it gives one single click, try a few times and then it starts)

Can somebody tell me the Part number for the 99 starter please ?

Can you help me with this one, how do I check ground wire ? What should I be looking for ?

1...Take both cables off battery and clean the post. Plus the cable ends.
Follow the ground wire that goes to the front of the nose remove and give the cable and the frame a little brush to clean both surfaces.
Replace all wires and tighten try to start.

2 if 1 doesn't fix problem there is a relay in the engine compartment on drivers side . Remove side panel to access. Switch the relay out with one beside it. Replace both and try to start.

So if it starts fine every time doing it that way, then one knows for sure the ground connection has a problem ? because I have grounded it that way .. correct ?

I just wish the problem was persistent, it's easier to diagnose, if I run with the car for a little while, it does not seem to happen

Sure

It seems to indeed be the starter, I cleaned the contacts .. no help, I tried to use a jumpstart and ground it to the car metal, no help, when I start and it fails, the lights dont dim

So far it seems to be the starter, it's a hit or miss, the weird bit is if I drive on it for a little while, it starts fine the next time

My only confusion is the starter on mine has the model 04609346AB, but from my investigation thats a starter for the 00 onwards, mine is a 99, my other issue is, are all 04609346AB the same ?, I see some Chrysler models (300M for example) seem to have the same model number, but I read somewhere here somebody ordering one and the fit was not the same ... ugh

https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Starter-for-Chrysler-LHS-New- Yorker-Plymouth-Prowler-Eagle-Vision-Intrepid/162180570192

lists for the Prowler 99, but the Model is 4609011 not 04609346AB

That model for instance shows on this starter below I could buy locally (well, Germany ... close enough) .. but unsure if it fits
