This morning I jumped in the jeep and drove 15 miles for lunch. When I came out to leave it won't start. It has full power, but when I turn the key it makes no sound at all but has full power still. I have a remote start installed so I clicked that and it fired right up. After testing it a few more times it still does the same thing - remote start gets it going but not the key. Any thoughts?

Ignition switch? I don’t know haha just throwing it out there. I don’t know much about remote starting systems.. I bet someone on her does tho!

lol Yeah idk. Im guessing the ignition switch is the problem too. I figure it can't be the starter if it does start
 
Look at the ignition relay under the hood fuse box. replace that part, it may be just that. If not, then try to short it in the ignition and see if it starts.

Ill look at that today after work - I hope thats all it is. I meant to look into it over the weekend but the snow killed my motivation. What do you mean by short the ignition? Thanks for the advice
