Hi all,

I have an 04 1500 Hemi which doesnt want to start anymore. Ive checked all fuses, relays, starter & battery, all good.

When I plug my scanner into the OBII port & turn the key (dash lights do come on) it says that either the key is not turned or bad connection to the OBII port.

So Im thinkin either the black ignition switch module on left side of column or cut wire???

Dealer here in Ontario wants $95/hr to diagnose issue.

Any thoughts out there? Am I right on switch or bite bullet at the dealers???

Thanks for any info feel free to email me.

No professional opinion, but how much is the switch? If it's not too dear, gamble that you might be right. The dealer is entitled to their $95 per hour fee and hopefully they have better diagnostics than your gut, but you'll always kick yourself if it IS the switch and you just gave in to the dealer first shot!

When you say "no start" do you mean it's cranking over and won't start OR when you turn the key it does not crank?
