Some Dodge Magnum owners report experiencing difficulties with their key not turning to start the engine, even after installing a new starter and alternator. Common issues include a binding steering column or lock, which can prevent the key from turning. Additionally, some owners encounter starter problems, such as the engine not cranking or hearing a clicking sound when attempting to start. A faulty ignition switch is another potential culprit that may inhibit the key's movement. Electrical issues, including bad wiring, can also contribute to this problem. In some cases, changing the battery in the key fob has resolved starting issues for owners. It is advisable to consult a mechanic to diagnose and address the specific cause of these key-related problems.
