2006 ram 1500.
Keys battery are good. Replaced both ignition switch and ignition lock tumbler(self program dorman) same symptoms occur.
If I turn key to on position on first attempt to start it will not crank(gauges work). I then have to turn key to off position then cycle to start again immediately and it’ll start. A while back the battery on key died and was unable to program the key(only had 1). I had an extra key programmed at home depot(was cheaper than dealer) but it’s just a generic key. Keyless entry on key does not work. Just for ignition. Anyway to test if immobilizer is faulty? My pioneer AVH-4400 screen only displays when I cycle key on then turn off. It’ll work via Bluetooth when driving but screen won’t display. Firmware is up to date. Tried rebooting it and still.

Look at the battery ground and the starter connections.

Will she start with the key on with a remote switch to the starter?
