for the past 2 years the car would start after turning the key 5 to ten times during this time i would hear a clicking sound every time,i turned the key, now the car is dead, there is no clicking sound and the car will not make any kind of noise at all, all i'm getting is a dead key. i've been told it could be the ignition, or the neutral switch, or the starter silonoid???
I would like to save the little money i have and only have to change one part to fix the problem...
I forgot to ad that i have an remote start and it still would do the same thing sometime it would start the first shot and most time i would have to push the button a number of times, so i personally dont think its the ignition..

The problem may be a bad starter. Make also sure the battery cable from the battery to the starter is in good condition. All connections are tight.
Replace the starter and have a good charged battery.
