Car won't start. Lights come on, battery is fine. Code says key doesn't match VIN but this is the same key I have always had. One Dealer says it might need a new key, another dealer says it is possibly a bad Skim Module or PCM. I'm lost. I can't afford to start having things replaced that won't fix the problem.
Well did you change your battery or battery drained. If is your car key have a chip in it if so your key needs to be programed for your car it's not that you need a new key it probably a security system that needs your key reprogram to your car.
The dealers are just telling you thing's it could be , doesn't mean they are just going to replace all of those parts or you need all of them , Doing the diagnostic test procedures associated with the DTC - diagnostic trouble code are were they start . Take it to one an have it diagnosed .

Does it have gas in the tank? Sometimes that's an issue!
SOURCE: We lost the key to our 2002 Dodge Neon. Purchased
the only way is to take it to the dealer unless you have a scanner
SOURCE: I have a Dodge Neon 2006 which was working fine
you may be right, try a spare key, that will elimanate the key chip, you will need a scan tool to diagnose this problem, also with key in crank position is there power at starter, the scan tool can tell yuo if computer is reading key chip signal and if signal if right and also you can see if starter is receiving start signal, good luck.
Testimonial: "I will have to take my car to a place that can run a diagnostic, but I found your answer very helpful. Thanks!"
