Hi
I just went to start my 2014 SRT and thought I put in hibernate mode with a trickle charger on it. The door was not completely closed, battery was at 50% charged it back to 100% still shows battery light. Disconnected and had it checked they said it was fine, tried jumping it and I get nothing. When I try to start it will not turn over no clicking ect and lights and instrument panels are working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a scan report attached
Thanks

Exact same thing happened to me. The passenger door mysteriously popped open during hibernate mode and with a trickle charger on it, and the battery got drained. When hooked up a "real" charger to it, I could hear all kinds of weird whirring and clicking behind the dash - which was likely the HVAC system doing crazy things. I left the charger on it for a night, and the next day it started - but then I had all kinds of gremlins with the door popping open for no reason, the windows not working right, the HVAC acting weird. Swapped the battery and all was well again. A bit of a mystery.

not sure if this relates to this or not but my car sat for about 3 weeks or so and didn't have enough juice to start, so I put a charge on it and it was cranking but wouldn't start, I looked around the engine bay ,checked fluids and everything seemed ok. then when I went to start it again I accidentally pressed the start button twice, holding it down on the second press, and it fired right up. not sure if it was a coincidence but I wasn't going to press it twice again to find out. maybe try that?

Try pushing the start button with the end of the remote.

Deff try this, I left my key in the car a week one time and the key died. Only way to start it.

I've tried and still nothing. Key fob, fuses, relays, and battery :confused:

Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes. Maybe everything will reset.

You did change the battery in the key fob as well? Two thoughts, it could be that the link between the key fob and the car has been forgotten, ie. the car no longer recognizes the key fob as the right one. I am also wondering if the clutch pedal switch is fried. The car won't turn over unless the clutch is fully depressed. If the switch is bad the car might not think you've depressed the clutch.

I would pull the negative bat cable and let it sit for a minute. You can also check the starter by jumping the solenoid terminal at the starter.

That's a bit baffling... Some of the symptoms you noted are consistent with the battery going low and the body control module freaking out. If the instrument cluster comes to life when you press the start button, I think your key fob battery is OK. But, I'd try the spare fob just in case - something weird may have happened where the car isn't properly recognizing the main fob you're using.
Is it still under warranty? If so, I think I'd be finding a way to drag it to the dealership and have them look at it.
When something similar happened to my car (body control module freaked out and did things like activating the passenger door servo constantly - which drained the battery), I got it going by disconnecting both battery cables, holding them together for a few minutes, putting a charger on the battery (with the cables still disconnected), and the next day it fired right up. I still had weird instances of the passenger door popping open for no reason - but I solved that by manually locking it from the inside. Now, the door won't open at all - so that's on the list of things to fix when I get a chance to bring it down to the dealership.

But do make sure the car is in neutral!

Well just figured out, the dealer broke my driver's side window when fixing my door in October. There is a blue square plug under drivers side footwell that controls the door lock the window drop, hazards, etc. Was making sure all plugs were seated and it clicked in place hazards went off and started right up:drive:Thanks to everyone that took the time trying to help my out!!!!!

I am trying to figure out what circuit/connector it was, approximately how many wires were in the connector? The door/windows and hazard circuits themselves would not stop the car from starting

I'm with you Jack...wondered if while checking various plugs, he reseated BCM connector. It is hard to say without full wiring diagrams...which Dodge still owes us in my opinion

If I get a wire count I'm pretty sure I can sort out the circuits/use for that specific connector.
