No Crank No Start Fixed By Recall R03 08 Chrysler Town and Country

This video is more of an informational video than a repair video. As mentioned in the video my mother in laws van had a "not start" or actually a "no crank no start" symptom caused by a faulty WIN module or "wireless ignition node" module. After testing some basic things on her vehicle, like battery, starter, and fuses, I came to the conclusion that the issue had to be ignition switch or key related. (albeit, the ignition switch on this vehicle is actually the WIN module and works differently than a regular ignition switch.) After doing some digging I found out that there was a recall, R03, still open for this vehicle. R03 involved the replacement of the WIN module and 2 keys. This service is provided free of charge to applicable vehicles. So, I sent it to the dealer with the hopes that replacing the WIN module would take care of the symptom. (R03 is intended to correct a problem with the key being turned from the "run" position to the "accessory" position due to being bumped. It is not intended to correct a "no crank no start" situation.) Much to my delight, the replacement of the WIN module and keys took care of the symptoms.

Here is a link to the recall. The particulars of the recall are outlined here:

Give your dealership a call to see if this recall is applicable and is still open on your vehicle. If you have a "no crank no start" symptom on your vehicle a faulty WIN module COULD be the cause. If the recall is open for your vehicle then get the WIN and keys replaced. If it fixed your problem, then great. If not, then you will have to have the vehicle diagnosed to see what the actual cause of the problem is.

If you are having this symptom and the recall is not open on your vehicle or the recall does not apply to your vehicle then the "no crank no start" symptom could still be caused by a faulty WIN module. A proper diagnosis will be needed to confirm what the actual fault is. Repair accordingly.

Note: This symptom can be caused by many things other than a faulty WIN module. A proper diagnosis will be needed to confirm the cause and repair path for your vehicle. I do not in any way imply that replacing the WIN module and keys will fix your vehicle. This video is just meant to share my experience and share information.
