Possibly a crankshaft position sensor but then again it's not giving you a code for it.

Yeah I would place my bets on the key as well, the reason it prolly not starting is bc the battery is bad, you prolly started it so many times and considering it didn't run long enough to charge the battery, its prolly just dead, and if it's a old battery, you might haft to buy a new one of those to

But it wont turn over on a jump, or a charge. And my headlights, all interior lights, radio, everythings functional. It use to turn over and die, now it wont even turn over.

Yeah, it's got a lot of people. But, as you can see in the pictures, that Key isn't too healthy. Guess I'll have to chance it.

Chrysler just gave me a fun fact. I don't know how truthful it is, but seeing how its the dealer, I'll go with it. If you try to start your Jeep with a bad key, it will start and then die three times, and the fourth time, it wont do anything, just crank. It will do this for one whole hour after each time you try to startit, so DO NOT keep trying to start it, or youll be waiting one hour after your last attempt. After your one hour is up, Try again to see if it starts. If it does three times and dies the fourth, Chances are it is your key.
