when my 1998 Dodge Durango would start and cut back off, I had to reset the alarm by using the lock / unlock buttons on my key remote.
The red light indicates a failure in the security system. It will not start with a failure.
Check the starter! It happened to my 2000 dodge durango too.
speed sensor on transmission
Misfires, hard start, no start, more often when wet.
well, theres dodge, durango, datson, daimler, desoto
A blown radiator hose could not cause a 2000 Dodge Durango to not have spark and not start unless the heat damaged the computer in the vehicle. Sometimes when an engine overheats, the computer that controls the firing can be damaged.
I turn it off to go shopping then will not start again
2003 dodge neon that will start but will not stay running and dies after it starts?
Try sitting in the seat and using the key.
See http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/reliability.aspx?year=1998&make=Dodge&model=Durango . Under "Brakes". It's probably the Rear Axle Speed Sensor. Easy Fix. Do-It-Yourself. Search this site or Google "Replace rear axle speed sensor 1998 Durango"
Crank angle sensor or coolant temprature sensor are the two favourites that will cause a non start
Check engine light on, no start, hard start, die off.
