2011 ram powerwagon no start, anit theft activated
Have a 2011 ram power wagon 2500 5.7l Hemi. The truck while idling shut off. When went to restart truck, nothing. Gauges came on, fuel pump but would not crank. Notice the anti theft light, vehicle security light, red flashing dot was on. Which tell me anti theft activated. I removed the cables for about 5 minutes, had charger on for an hour while in the run position hoping it would reset. Been 4 days and nothing as of yet. Was told WIN module maybe bad, but the key fob tell communicates with it. Need help!!

Sounds like the remote start is in valet mode, if your system supports a valet mode. Otherwise, it is possible the hood safety switch is bad. That switch prevents remote starting should the hood be open and someone is working on the engine.

The hood switch wouldnt stop it from starting normally though. My key wont start the truck from the ignition either. But it will lock and unlock the doors so it's not the win
Well, you didn't say this, you said, "fob locks and unlocks doors but won't start the truck."
If your key won't start the truck, then you should be looking for an issue with your starting system and not the FOB.
