      Umm, well all my gauges and lights are as normal. Make sure you turn everything on like the a/c, headlights, radio and honk the horn...just to make sure it's not your battery. When I turned my key it made no noise at all. Now how to tell if it's the Starter or the ignition I have no idea. My mistake was changing the Starter 1st which was more expensive and was not the issue. I suggest to you to go with the ignition 1st. Not the part where the actual key goes inside of, but after pulling that piece out as explained in this great video, you will see a cone looking piece with a plastic stick at the end of it. That piece was broken so I changed, here is link for picture... m.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-oe-solutions-ignition-actuator-pin-924-739/10563203-P?searchTerm=actuator+pin&vehicleIdSearch=357482&isAllVehicle=false I also changed the black piece at the end of that that a cable attaches to it, looks like a small horn, sorry I don't know the name of part dude. If you need link to that lmk. Hope I was of some help, good luck, it is super easy to do. Oh, and NO, I didn't have to reprogram my key nor take to the dealer for any codes. Again, it's super easy.

      Mira, yo compre dos piesas que se ponen en quitar el Ignition. Here is the 2 links (but for a 2006 Chrysler 300 2.7L) shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/bwd-ignition-starter-switch-cs861/20970943-P?searchTerm=ignition+switch
      shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-oe-solutions-ignition-actuator-pin-924-739/10563203-P?searchTerm=ignition+switch
      Las dos son fasil a poner y van juntos en el mismo lugar. English: Up top are the 2 links of the parts I changed just in case one was messed up and not the other, or both. Both are located in the same part when you pull out the whole Ignition housing, both are super simple to remove and mount back on. Just follow this great video guys. And again, I did not have to reprogram my key nor take to the dealer to activate anything. Plug n play.

    ...also when you turn the key make sure you are in a quiet environment and try to hear the fuel pump make it's noise. It should still make some weird noise when you turn the key. This noise will come from under you so listen carefully for it just to rule that issue out.

    Hello I been having an issue with all my idiot lights going into a reset mode for no reason. After much research and luckily no short anywhere. It turns out the electronic ignition part is faulty. No issues starting or running the car. But I found the electronic part can be removed from the cylinder head. So same process only I didn't have to get a new cylinder. The electronic part is sold separately. It doesn't do it constantly. Lol I can just have the key to on and all dash lights reset like it's possessed. At times it resets like three times in a row. Then nothing for months. Bells going off lol. Just annoying. Have a 2006 300 limited that is pristine with only 111000 original. Great step by step video. Not hard to do. Maybe do an update showing the electronic plug in can be changed separate without getting the cylinder 👍
