2001 town and country, remote start

I took it one step further guys.  I actually, one by one, cut every wire coming from the ignition switch plug.  I then turned the key in the ignition to see if I could make the problem appear manually, so to speak.  When the violet/brown MUX wire is interrupted, and the key is turned, nothing happens, at all.  The starter 1 wire (yellow) energizes, but the starter doesn't actually crank.  Like I said, I cut the wires one at a time, to try and figure out if it was a wiring issue, and I couldn't get the van to just crank and not turn over.  This leads me to believe that it's actually an equipment problem, and not a wiring issue.  I did the same cut one wire at a time test on the SKIM module, with the same result.  I even went so far as to unplug connecter C3 from the BCM which the doorlock/security wire is connected to see if that would do anything.  No luck there either.  I'm out of ideas.  I'm leading toward a bad SKIM or Ign. switch or a combination of both, mainly because of a)  the security light doesn't illuminate on the message center, ever, and b)  there are only 2 things between where I insert the key at the key cylinder and where the remote starter is connected, the ign switch, and the SKIM.  The remote starter works EVERY time, and they key doesn't work, at all now.  My common sense and instinct tells me that it's gotta be something between where the key goes and where the RS is.  She's thinking about taking the van into the local Chrysler dealer and having it looked at, and we all know how that goes.  I once had the dealer blame a taillight being out on a new G6 on me installing a RS into it

I unplugged the BCM and disconnected the battery for over an hour.  Problem's still there, I give up on this one.  I'll just wait and see what the dreaded Chrysler dealer has to say.  I can't wait to get blamed for a problem with a 95,000 mile 7 year old van
