Key Fob Stuck in ignition - car wont start

Austin L Kennard · Oct 4, 2015

I have a 2014 Dodge Challenger and I was recently installing a sub in my trunk and everything was running fine- subs worked and the car started.

10 min. later, I go to start the car again and my Key Fob is stuck in the car and my brakes seem to be "locked up."

I've check all fuses and I even let the car sit overnight and it still won't even try to turn over. Help!

First off, make sure you have the car in "park". If your battery went dead, you won't be able to pull the key out of the dash. Don't force it, try jumping the battery.

we just had it charged by a tow truck. still nothign...
Yes the car is in park.
by the way all of my light in and outside of the car work.
Is there a "Safe Mode" Or a "Theft mode" That my car might have went into?

Does it have a security light flashing?

Nope.

Your issue reminded me of a thread a while back. Take a look at http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/f188/help-sxt-will-not-start-stuck-fob-417642/ and see if that helps at all.

Did you check the WIN module fuse in the trunk yet? This fixed it for me. I was trying to trace a problem with my back up camera when it happened.

I looked for a TSB for this, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find one. Do you have any updates on this since yesterday, Austin?

The only thing I can suggest is disconnect the negative terminal to the battery in hopes that everything will get reset.
