Starter solenoid. It's the switching mechanism on the starter that engages the starter when you turn the key. To test you would need to make sure you're getting power from the ignition wire at the starter when the key is turned(The small wire, not the big one). If it does get power, the solenoid is bad and the starter needs to be changed. If it does not, then it's something between the key and the starter like the starter relay in the fuse box under the hood

Go to AutoBeef.com and you will see there is a problem with th 98 & 99
Durangos. I took the advice to buy a refurbished PCM "Brain" from an online Florida company and my car has worked great ever since. Google for refurbished PCMs my cost <$300.00 and only 3 screws to change out. CAll the PCM company and tell they staff about your problem -- see if they think it is the brain. Sounds like same problem I had.

It could also be a malfunctioning alarm system but I doubt it.
