So, getting ready for a trip, get in truck and insert fob turn key, dash comes on everything works but wont start. What the hell. Get out of truck tried remote start and truck starts. But wont start with key. Checked every fuse in truck, batteries are fine just wont start with key. Any Ideas before i take to stealership.

You have another key to try? Mine did this after changing batteries. Used my 2nd key then magically the 1st one worked.

I disconnected battery, shut the hood, shut the doors and left it for a couple of days. hooked everything up and now it works.

Came across this thread trying to diagnose a key on, lights and options good, no start condition. I found the bonding strap on the starter had corroded and arc'd enough that is was separated.

Might save someone a trip to the dealership and weeks of them not finding a real problem...
