So with the key in the on position you can jump the solenoid? Sounds like a bad solenoid. Had this happen on my 09 Nytro.

Go through this with the wife a lot, tell her to use the ignition key not the kill switch. There only for EMERGENCIES and if the switch should fail it will not crank/restart.

Post a picture of your jumper, I bet the relay by the batter is shot.

I've had the problem, I added a starter switch for a short time until the permanent fix. Sounds like a bad solenoid to me. Mine was bad, I now have an extra just in case. I have also lost the ground. I ran a wire from the solenoid to the frame, problem fixed.
