I drove it to work cranked right up, when I got in my vehicle the next morning it wouldn't turn on crank or nothing. Headlights will work, also the interior lights come on. No light on the radio and dash. Help please.

Just so I am clear, (assuming you have a push button) you press the button and nothing happens? Does it say anything in the cluster like Key not Detected? Do the gauges turn on? Does the ignition go from off to ACC?

I am suspecting the right front hub is having an issue but clearly we will need to get more info. However, due to this age and mileage, this is still under warranty so make sure we get it to a dealer to document the issue even if it is not acting up right now because there may be codes that can help figure this out.

Please let me know what codes they find and the questions above and we can go from there. Thanks

No it is not a push button it takes a key fob and no none of the gauges come on It is no radio. No gauge nothing but all lights and the mileage appears that's it, could it have something to do with my alarm system I can still unlock and lock the doors with my key fob.

Is this a factory alarm system? If so it is unlikely.

I suspect the issue is with the ignition node module but again I think we need to get this to the dealer because if they can duplicate this then they can confirm it with the scan tool and see if the RF hub is getting the signal from the IGNM to power on the rest of the systems like the BCM and PCM.

Not only do these parts have to be programmed if they are the cause but you should not have to pay for any of them. Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks
