Make sure there is power to the starter solenoid when you turn the key. You may have to get someone to try to start the car whilst you check for power at the solenoid with a meter. Should be 12 volts DC.
SOURCE: where is the starter for a 2000 suzuki grand vitara located
starters are normally located at the rear of the motor usually hard to get too or see. should be on your bell housing in other words just in front of the gearbox/clutch

Take your rig.. drive it to a gas station.. fill the tank up with gas.. also fill 2 jugs of gasoline at the same time... put the jugs in the back of it.. now drive as far as you can until the rig runs out of gas.. then, take the two jugs of gas.. pour it all over the rig, inside and out.. now light it a-blaze, then walk to your nearest car dealer and buy a new car..
SOURCE: replaced the starter still not cranking also
find the grounding point on the motor and either replace the wire end or clean the surface it bolts to

Not a car expert but have some common sense advice---is it possible the vehicle was re-keyed before you got it? Someone may have lost the original keys and resorted to just using the other feature---a year is a long time not to know about this---I should not talk as recently got a vehicle where owner said rear window would not open for last two years=that vehicle has child safety locks on rear doors that also disable windows--needless to say nothing wrong.
I would talk to Suzuki if the key box is a factory installed item to see if it has a way of locking the physical keys out.
Worth asking---if after market item it may have been installed in a way that causes this issue.
