TJ doesnt start with a key but does with...
my remote starter.
I got in my Jeep yesterday, inserted the key, turned it and...NOTHING. Battery was not dead because all of my electronics work and my battery gauge reads full charge. I proceeded to turn the key to the off position, then tried to start it again...NOTHING...and what I mean by nothing is, no noise, no activity, nothing (I did this several times). So I decided to call my dad, he's a GM guy and knows vehicles more than anyone I know. As I was talking to him, I pushed the two buttons on my remote that causes my Jeep to "remote start". IT STARTED UP!! What the heck?? I didnt chance turning it off again, so I drove home to do some troubleshooting. It continues to start up with my remote starter but not a key?! Does anyone have a clue? Maybe a bad ignition switch, bad ignition, etc?? I have no experience with ignitions whatsoever, so I'm stumped. Thanks in advance for your help!! -- CJS www.alwaysjeepin.com |

Re: TJ doesnt start with a key but does with...
Start simple. If it's standard shift, does it have a clutch safety switch? If
it's automatic, check the neutral/park switch. You can eliminate starter, solenoid, battery and cables. Also could be the ignition switch. I don't think the remote start would interupt that. But if you have a burgler alarm it could be at fault.

Talk with the people that sold and installed the after market
alarm. It's one of their relays.
