v6 300 when the key is turned nothing happens, the dash doesnt light up, and the engine wont turn, this happened once earlier and i replaced the starter solenoid and everything worked again, now a few months later, it started to do the same thing, this time when i went to turn the key the dash wouldnt even light up, so i replaced the solenoid again, and the dash barely lights up if the wires are jiggled, but it still wont start, and as of right now it wont even light up the dash. i have deffinitely ruled out any issues with the battery, it seems like something isnt grounding right or possibly something is wrong with the ignition switch. if any one has any advice or has dealt with an issue like this before please let me know.
 
Sounds like you have a bad ground/ power wire. Maybe a bad fuseable link, which they will be right of the starter relay.
