Drove the 2005 magnum to dinner the other night run fine ,when got back in it would stat and quit,done this 4-5 times then it just quit turning over, lights and everything come on just wouldn't engage the starter no more. is there some kind of relay and it seems it might of been the fuel pump has gone out, just haven't had time to look at it ,whats your thoughts on this problem.
A couple of potential issues and/or solutions:
It sounds like the Senty Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) did not recognize the key during startup and subsequently locked the engine down. Your dash should be indicating a "new" light, that is the anti-theft indicator.
First, call your dealer with your VIN and explain your problem. They should be able to provide another key.
I experienced this same problem about a year ago. The dealer suggested removal of the anti-theft fuse (I cannot remember the number) for about 15 to 30 minutes. After re-installation, I had no other problems.
Potentially, you may mimic this by removal of the negative battery terminal for about an hour to let the memory die, then try again, but not sure this is the same as fuse removal.
I will try to find the fuse number and re-post asap.
Your dealer may be able to provide the solution sooner.
Testimonial: "you hit it right on, after about a hr i tried to start it, with my other key and it does just fine now, thanks a ton for the fix. "
Fuse number 14 (Red - 10 Amp)
Sentry Key/Remote KeylessEntry/Cluster
Location: Rear Fuse Distribution Panel
Procedure: Open rear hatch, lift false floor to expose fuse panel near battery. Pull fuse #14. Wait 15 minutes (just for good measure). Reinstall fuse. Then use Key FOB to lock and unlock door.
Attempt ignition sequence and let us know how it goes.
Outstanding! I am glad it worked. Now get that Magnum back on the road where it belongs!

Yes they do but I would rather think you have a bad battery cabe connection to the system, sometimes the battery cable corrudes and you can't see it try replacing the cable ends and the connector ends espically if they are by the battery.
SOURCE: Starter will not engage, tried tapping starter relay,
I think the relay you have been waking up is the starter solenoid. If so, these have heavy copper bars that carry the current for the starter that can be in the range of 120-180 amperes, in other words, a bunch. These can decay (they 'burn' developing spikes of copper that are blown away when the starter draws current) over time and I too have whacked them to get momentary contact too but it will likely need replacement. If it is integrated with the starter, the starter will have to be replaced since I doubt if parts are available to replace the contacts; they once were, I've done it but it has been decades since then.

i'm no new car mechinac but seems like the fuel pump is the main thing, since it would start and quit, and maybe a relay or fuse has kicked out or blown to keep the starter from kicking in , maybe a saftey relay to protect the starter,just thought thered be somebody on here that had the problem before
