Got in a wreck battery messed up. If I messed with the battery terminal it would start. Finally stopped working altogether so I replaced the battery terminal but now everything turns on and it won't start also the keys are locked in the ignition. If I disconnect the battery they will come out.

Okay, when you say it won't start, do you mean the starter won't engage?

Yeah it's almost like there's an anti theft feature because it won't try to turn over And it won't let go of the keys

If there is a security light staying on, I suggest that you have a dealer look at it. It could be many different things.
