2003 dodge won't start with key

Hi All,

I have a 2003 Dodge Stratus and I can not start it with my key, howerver it will start with my remote start. When I put my key in the ignition it doesn't do anything. When I turn the key to start I get nothng, no noise, and nothing lights up on the dash. Agian, erveything works when I use that remote start. I've checked all the fuses, all good.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I don't know if it's necessarily the starter kill b/c the ignition should still come on with a starter kill (unless the starer kill is also and ignition kill) [usually the relay cuts the starter wire in two and connects the circuit after alarm has been disarmed]

Was it working fine and now, all of sudden you're having this problem?  I have a feeling the ignition harness plug has been disconnected or is loose from the actual key cylinder.  I did this once in a Jeep Cherokee install -- the remote starter was working beautifully, but then I go to start with the key and NOTHING .. i realized the plug that connects the ignition harness to the key cylinder hadn't clicked in all the way and had fell out.

My thoughts exactly!

I've seen this happen on a dodge dakotas as well, the plug was still techinically plugged in but once it was pushed together, all was good again. If this turns out to be your problem, cable tie it together.
