So if i remote start my cherokee and hop in the ac is on radio is on and everything works fine. Put my key in and press the brake and radio and ac goes off. If I turn my ac off and radio comes back but my wipers also cut my radio and don't work.

Anyone with remote start want to explain it to me?

Sounds like an issue with your ignition switch. When started with the remote start, it powers all IGN wire to allow the engine to run, along with heat/AC. Some also power the ACC line, which is why the radio comes on. When you step on the brake, the remote start deactivates, meaning all above will shut off unless the key is turned on.

What happens when you start it manually?

I replaced my ignition switch today and it didn't fix anything. The wiring is interesting to say the least will post a pic here in a minute.

when i start it manually everything works (but it still acts as if i remote started it,only till i brake, it deactivates the RS and run the normal path), im guess the remote start bypasses the ignitions so when it runs though the ignition again after i step on the brake the problem comes back.

If that makes sense?

Looks like theres a red by its self and purple and pink together. I'm fine with basic wiring but if i could get a second opinion that'd be great.

Those corroded bare wires don't look good

Re-do every corroded wire & wires with electrical tape the right way.
Solder & heat shrink every connection.
I am not a fan of aftermarket remote starts or alarms.

Those corroded wires probably shorted something out and when you push the brake it sends power to a different wire causing things to short out
