Hello new to posting to this.. My Problem is my truck will not start with the key, it will start with the remote start but no dash lights or gauges until I put the key in and turn it forward. Then as soon as I put my foot on the brake to put it in gear the truck dies, still will not restart with key...I was told that there is probably a short in the remote starter, but I can not find any worn or exposed wire, im at a loss it just really seems backwards
Any help or advise would be helpful.
Oh just cleared a check engine light had to replace an O2 sensor

The alarm system probably has a security switch. I has the same issue on last ram. It was a pin under the hood that was spring loaded and when up it wouldn't let me start it but would remote start. When that broke it stayed up, so I had to stick a bolt in there to depress it and zip tie it do it stayed down
