My car will not start, even after trying to jump it. A few days ago all of the gauges stopped working on the dash, then a few days after that I was not able to lock the car because the alarm would go off. Now today it will not start at all, its as if the ignition is not sending a signal to the starter. I tried to jump start it but got nowhere. Any suggestions?

Thank You!

It sounds like maybe the drive away protection is mis-aligned. You will need to have the car scanned and reply back with the results. This will require proprietary software, a generic scanning device wont be that specific.
