Will not start ign key no response in start position, no remote door locks.

Truck (2007.5 2500 4 x 4 auto 120K miles) will not start with key, remote door locks not working. Is all I've found so far.
Truck was just driven 50 miles and turned off for around 30 min. before trying to restart. First time ever with this problem.
Truck has been towed and is in my yard.
Seems everything else that is suppose to work is working
I jumped the solenoid on starter and would start for a second or two, then dies.
Can't go to dealer.
I've check fuses that deal with engine running and can't find any bad ones.
I'm in Lake Havasu City, AZ

Do you have another key that you could try since you have it home? Sounds to me like the security system has disabled the ign.

I'd bet bad battery or batteries. Disconnect one battery at a time, and try to start. If that still fails, try a known good battery out of another truck before buying a new set.

Found the problem.
I disconnected the batteries grounds for about a minute to reboot the computer that seemed to lose communication with the keyfob.
A buddy found this problem cure on a google search.
Seems static electricity will cause this problem with 3rd gen Dodges. Not often but if does happen enough to come up on the search.
If it happens it will happen to me.

Now fast forward to yesterday, yes it happened again , insert key turn to start & Zlppo-Nada-Pure silence. Dash lites on. No trouble lites. Head lites on & bright. Both batts
at 12.4V. Door locks not working. Oh , don’t have 2nd key to try.
Soooo, start with the basics, Disconnect both batts. Clean posts & cables, check both batt V ( 12.1) apply film of dielectric goo & reassemble. Insert key & start, wow!!
I killed another Poltergiest. Probably Luck rather than Skill. thanks
