2006 Dodge Ram 1500 won't start

Asked by ChefD Nov 11, 2013 at 02:26 AM about the 2006 Dodge RAM 1500 ST Quad Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I turn the key on and the dash lights and stereo light up, turn the key and nothing. I would have to turn the steering wheel from left to right before to get it to start. It took over 15 minutes tonight to try and get it to start, it finally did...any suggestions on whats wrong? When I turn the key, you hear just one click and that's it...I have full power, it just wont start?
