Or, call a Dodge dealer - the service guys should be able to walk you through this...
Good luck.

Just got towed, nobody could or wanted to answer what happened...will dig for answers and let you guys know...won't see a service tech until tomorrow and have a brother in law in town so at least have a place to stay.

I talked to my service manager a few miutes ago...ignition module failed, where the key goes in...why? it just did...$460 parts and labor...and no help from Chrylser on a goodwill warranty at 47k miles... A few weeks ago I was in for service to reflash my radio, the internal phone for 911, sirius tuner, bluetooth, all quit working. That was just a reflash and Chrylser did warranty that... I am becoming less of a fan of electronics...when the module fails how would you put in neutral to move the truck, etc? You CAN'T... Anyway, will be on the road by late afternoon. Thanks, guys!

Definitely electrical if it won't release the key. Maybe the charging system went out and you drove the battery flat. Or, if you're saying the lights are BRIGHT... perhaps a run wire or fuse/fusible link like already mentioned
Years ago I took my 2005 hemi in for a TSB PCM update flash, and shortly thereafter it just flat-out quit at one intersection. That was unnerving. That stuff was supposed to fade away with carburetors. When I got it going again, something was scrambled and it was in limp mode with no transmission shifting. I had to cycle it again for it to clear out. I hate electronics

I did a quick check. my 05 truck was 7/70. 2014s seem to be 5/100,000. Should be fine. Maybe there's more to the story
Maybe it's in the details. Electrical may not be under powertrain.
Either way, that's a crap warranty. I don't care how it's structured, if there's a way they can screw you after 2 years, it's wrong.
I remember sitting in the dealer buying my '05 that January, with the big fat sales boss sweating over me telling me I should buy an additional warranty to cover things like the "engine computer" failing. That statement and his slavering delivery almost caused me to turn down the deal. I said "why would the computer go bad?"
I guess that sort of thing does happen, but to organize the warranty to exclude responsibility is BS

You can call Chrysler directly. It's worth a try. For $500 bucks, I wouldn't even hesitate.
