Guys, recently i have not been able to start my car via the key in the ignition! I turn the key and i get nothing, as though the starter is killed. I have a security keypad hooked up with my galaxy 8000rs alarm. I had no problems till recently. So i replaced the 2 relays i seen that control the keypad and remote start and still does the same thing. When i enter the code on the keypad i hear the relay click so i think thats working. I have a toggle switch hooked up to the keypad and even when its off i still can't start her up with the key.

I am however,able to remote start the car with no problem. Kinda sucks every time i wanna get in and go i got to remote start the car.

What could be causing this?

The only thing I can think of is a bad connection from the ign. switch to the point that the remote start connects to the start wire. Or a bad ign. switch.
