Ok. I replaced the battery last night. I also have a Viper remote starter.
Now, the truck will start with the remote starter. When I put the key and turn it, then try to drive away or press the brake, the vehicle shuts off. Just like it's supposed to if the key isn't put in.
When I try to start it with the key, nothing. All electronics come on but the vehicle won't crank.
The Canyon has the dreaded passlock system and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Any suggestions?

Sure sounds like the pass key giving you trouble.

I don't know if it is. I don't think it's the dreaded Passlock system (Who came up with that POS system anyhow?). I've had the battery cables unhooked overnight and it didnt' help. There are wasy to bypass it and reset it but it didn't work. The passlock light isn't on.
In the past when the light was on those tricks worked but nothing this time.

I know on older cars with passlock, if it failed you could turn the key on and jump the starter and be good to go.
My 99 Corvette has passkey and when it has problems it will start, but not let you go over 3 MPH, with some kind of warning on the DIC.
That is the extent of my passlock experiences.

My ideas are old, but I'm surprised how often they still work. Verify the gear you're in. Park and neutral are usually the only ones that permit cranking.
Secondly, try pulling the steering wheel hard left or right while cranking. My 2001 buick century was fond of the steering wheel always finding those two half degree spots that won't allow cranking.
Lastly, try cleaning the key if it has a chip/resistor.

You may also try reprogramming the key. It's a relatively easy process that involves the key being turned to specific functions for specific times. Will have to google it though, I don't recall the process off the top of my head.

It's been at the shop for a week and a half. They have no idea what's wrong. Wednesday it goes back to the remote starter installer. They suspect the starter may be fried. Might just have to rip the whole thing out.

Nope.
It's now gone to the shop who installed the remote starter. The tech there has had it for three days and can't figure it out.
He also had a Canyon at some point so he's determined to get to the bottom of this.
He has told me he won't 'charge me an arm and a leg.' Maybe just an arm. :0
