When you say "When I turn the key nothing." do you mean to say that there is no clicking sound, or any other sound of any kind? If so, you might need to have a new ignition switch installed. A man I know told me the same thing, and when I asked him to try it for me, he pulled out a set of keys that had to weigh 8 pounds. Ignition switches aren't made to carry a lot of weight, bouncing down the road. Steering columns are stuffed with parts. If the switch is your problem, I would not recommend trying to repair it yourself. If you know how to hot wire your car, do so, and then drive it to a Dodge dealership. At least that way you could save the towing fee. luck.
Look at the lower rear end of engine - follow the + battery cable
It is on the starter.
Probably it's a low battery, though it could be a bad starter. You are probably hearing the starter solenoid clicking.

The Dodge Stratus might not start because the battery is dead or the starter is worn or damaged. It might not start because it is out of gas or because the fuel line has water or air in it.
The starter for a 2005 dodge stratus is mounted on the side of the engine. It is over the exhaust system.
Assuming the battery and starter crank the engine, check for fuel and spark. You are probably missing one of those.
No poor connection or bad battery under the left fender behind the inner fender well turn wheel all the way rt or left to access

pretty much the battery in a dodge stratus is used for starting and to complete the charging circuit. this is same in any vehicle
Clicking usually is a sign of a bad battery or starter
If the question is, "what battery does a 1998 Stratus use?" the answer is Group Size 75. You can put any Group Size 75 battery in it.
