One of the most common issues seen in the ignition system of a Dodge Ram 1500 is a blown fuse. Over time, other problems like faulty wiring or a damaged ignition switch can also arise. Several owners have reported that their vehicles won't start due to a malfunctioning ignition switch. If you continue to have trouble starting your car, you may need to consider replacing the switch. Sometimes, a little lubrication on the ignition can help it function properly when using the regular key. It's best to have a mechanic inspect the issue to decide whether to repair or replace the ignition system.

    I recently had a new ignition installed in my 2013 Ram 1500 Hemi. Despite the replacement, I still had to toggle the switch multiple times before the truck would start, and now it won't start at all. I'm seeking assistance to resolve this issue. I already spent $1100 at the Dodge dealership trying to fix it, but the problem persists.
