Default 2008 RAM 1500 Only starts with remote start

Greetings!

My truck will only start with the remote start from the remote. When I turn the key in the ignition I get nothing. I have tried both keys thinking the chip in the key could be messed up and had the same results.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

I would really hate having to take this beast to the dealer! They are suck crooks.

Thanks all

Sounds like an ignition issue to me. The RS can do it because you are bypassing the ignition. If you even wired one of these up it would make more sense to you. But since neither key works in the ignition, it sounds like when you are turning the ignition over the contacts are not making contact.
