Check and test the battery/connections-the computer needs 11 volts and higher to function accordingly

If the security light isnt flashing, make sure battery connections are ok and the battery is fully charged, if your hearing a click but no crank, do a starter test, locate starter, with a multi meter check for 12 volts on the positive cable at starter(big wire), with a helper cranking it check for 12 volts on ignition wire at starter(little wire), if both voltages are there and still no crank, suspect starter.
