Hi and welcome to 2CarPros. Can we get a little more information as to what is going on? Are you having issues starting your vehicle? The reason I ask is because the keys are coded to your vehicle and there is no way to bypass the security system for that.

The battery was taken out for 24 hours when put back in it will not start. So I purchased a brand new battery and it still will not start. All the lights come on but when the key is turned to the start position it only clicks. When the vehicle is turned to ACC position it clicks. The radio does not come on however.
