Default Car wont start

I have a 97 ta when i turn the key it does not click it doesnt do anything i have no power to the radio either but my interior buzzer works and headlights and interior lights work. But if i use my remote starter the car will star fine and run normal but when i put the key in and hit the brake to put it in gear the motor kills. It does like it didnt when u tried to put it in gear with no key when the remote start it on! The only t hing i can think of is the ignition switch under the dash any input would be awsome!!!!

Does your instrument panel light up when you turn the key--or is it totally dead?

might be a VATS problem... when you put the key in and it recognizes it..it thinks its the wrong key and kills the power...

hmm sometimes when my alarm goes off in my car you have to give it a little time or the same thing happens, it buzzes and when you go to turn the key you hear click and then there is no power.
