Fuses look good, any ideas what else it might be? Appreciate any troubleshooting advice. Thanks!

Ignition drop out and it dies instantly. fuel loss and it takes a second or two to die. When it starts to die shoot some carb cleaner in the air cleaner and see if it continues to run, if it does, you need to ck fuel system. If it dies anyway your loosing spark

If the relays click THEN it dies something is shuting them down. If it dies THEN then they click, your probably loosing fuel pressure and/or ignition side A quick test is switch the ASD , then the Fuel pump relays ( one at a time) with the AC relay and see what happens ,provided the ac works properly obviously.

The wife was trying to use a cheapo replacement key we had made to just unlock it and had forgotten that it wouldn't run the car. Luckily, she found her missing key. $200 from the dealer for a new one, and we would have to tow the car there, so that would have been a bad day.

He told me how to setup my new key with the truck. Need both original keys and then the third new one and new key will be chipped the same so it works after sticking them in the ignition and turning them on for a moment and then swapping keys real fast, with each key, new one last. Haven't done it yet but that's what he told me.

You can only get the pin number from Chrysler. I work in a dealer parts dept. Locksmiths around here make a phone call (probably to the dealer) and get the code. I've had keys made for two different Mopars this way in the past few years.
