To begin, are you parked on a grade or with the front tires against a curb? The steering wheel lock is mechanical; a metal pin or plate engages a notch in the lock plate which is under the steering wheel. If there is rotational force against the lock, such as by a front wheel being "pinched" against something, the force against the lock tang makes it very difficult to retract it by only turning the key(I've seen people break the key off trying to force it to turn). The best, most simple thing you can is to grab the steering wheel and use force to rotate it while trying to turn the key. If this doesn't work or if you don't have the strength, try getting a friend to: #1 block the rear wheels so the car can't roll, and #2 jack the side where the tire is against something up to release the pressure. Then you should be able to turn the key. ps, be sure in the future to avoid having the tire against anything when parking.

replace the transmission control module

You need to verify you have power going to the fans or run the Durango and see if the fan are coming on, you may have a bad wire or relay to the fans.

Disconnect the battery.. Its magnetic. The transponder has gone bad in the key. May need replacing. Unless someone tried to put the wrong key in the ignition and broke the electrical contacts inside the tumbler

If shut off I thing is OK but why is doing?Any codes?

Leave it in drive when you shut it down and then put it in park

The only way is to go to the dealers and show proof of ownership then they should give you a reset code.

Yes they are the same exact driveline

If it was towed for a long time (lots of miles) it's possible the front pump in the transmission is toast.

red lock tab has to be moved or brake it off & clear out any of the red lock before you press the release tab on the connector

no reset check fuses and relays also check fuel pump may have overheated and popped fuse or pump has failed

Have you looked on the transmission just behind the engine block? A lot of the Dodge vehicles get readings of the flexplate/flywheel.
