Ok guys, I need some input on a little issue with my Dakota.
It's a 2008, 4.7 V8 with "Tip Start" and a factory remote start.
Tip start is a feature where you don't need to hold it in "Start" just needs a momentary turn and it cranks by itself until it starts.
Now sometimes when I try to start it with the key nothing happens when I turn it to the "Start" position.
But it always starts with the remote every time without any hesitation. So that pretty much rules out the battery and starter.
Last week it wouldn't start with the key for 3 days so I finally took it in to a dealer. Of course it worked fine when I got there. They kept it for a few days, did a full electronics check and could not make it happen. I suggested that it might be the ignition switch itself but they said no.
Yesterday it happened again and is now working fine.
Anyone have any ideas?:dontknow:
