2007 Nitro- no start

[Ghoste]

2007 Dodge Nitro, small V6 not the RT.  No start, no codes, all other electrical powers up but nothing to the starter.  I don't hear the fuel pump filling the rails either.  At same time, remote fob will not unlock or lock doors.  Power locks work inside vehicle.  Auto lock and fobs had been working intermittently for a while.

Body control module or PCM?  My '97 Camaro and '99 F-bird had symptoms like yours and those cars were notorious for having BCM and PCM issues.  I actually had to re-solder some of the connections in the BCM...

[Ghoste]

BCM would be the one that controls the locks, no?  I'm thinking its too much coincidence with the locks to ignore it.

Well on my GM twins the BCM controlled "most" of the body functions, which means I'd lose things like windows and the radio but the car couldn't/wouldn't start either.  I would have power/functionality to random things in the car which always threw me off.  I'm just guessing, because it sounded like my problems back-in-the-day...

[Ghoste]

And if it is the BCM I think Im pretty much limited to taking it to a dealer too aren't I?  I believe it has to be programmed by a Dodge store.

Check ASDS relay. If ok, sounds like anti theft has been tripped somehow. Try power locking all doors and using the key, unlock driver AND pass. Doors. Try again.

[Ghoste]

I'll check the relay tomorrow Cooter, didn't know to look at that thanks.  I did try the other to see if it was the anti theft though, that was a common issue at auctions so it was almost instinct to try that first.

If you want to replace whatever it is with Mopar parts I can get you whatever you need for cost.


Thermostat for our SRT10 through the local dealership, $478.  Through my Mom, $82.
Installation of said thermostat, $1200.  Neighbor across the street who used to wrench for them, $50.
Of course I fought air in the system for a week before finally figuring it out.

Our '07 Commander with the 3.7 did the same thing. It wouldn't start, no codes. Turned it off/on a few times and jiggled the relays/fuses and there's been no issue since.

It was the WIN module.
