2008 Dodge Charger wont Turn over
 
Recently my Charger quit starting. The battery is good, lights and everything work fine. Remote unlocks doors and opens trunk fine. However, when i put the key (not an actual key, just a little electronic box) into the ignition and turn it nothing happens. That starter doesn't try to turn over, can't take the car out of park. (Door ajar light comes on brake lights work no power to the windows YES I checked the battery its good No red warning light) Does anyone know what could be wrong?
I google this and it seems to be a common problem just no one seems to ever post the solution when they fix it.
PLEASE HELP
Thanks all

my friend just recently had the problem you are having, The issue for him was the chip in the key you have, he used his spare key and it started right up. if you have an extra one try that one, if not,, dealer might reset the chip in it for you,,, good luck

I have a spare key and I tried it but it didnt work....unless (my poor memory) I tried it after I disconnected the battery and if thats the case do I have to reset anything? Security system? Sigh......

Jway,

Most of the cases on file, with similar symptoms, involve replacing the WIN (wireless ignition node) module. Do you have remote start? If so does it start the vehicle?

Thanks and yes the shop called me back today and for future reference to anyone that runs into the same problem.
It was the Key ignition receiver module (or something like that) and at a whopping $1100 to fix thats including the new keys and programming.
Thanks to all that has helped.
