The head lights don't come on the horn won't honk. It doesn't click or make a sound when I try to start it. Battery is new and fully charged. The key pad will lock and unlock the doors but the alarm won't go off.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

The first thing I need you to do is check some fuses in the under hood fuse box. Check fuses 8, 11, and 19. I have attached pics of the fuse box, circled the fuses I need checked and attached a legend of what each fuse is for.

Here are a few links you may find helpful when checking fuses and for power to the fuse:

I hope this helps. Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Okay, so I checked the fuses and they are good. It is definitely the security system because a friend if mine got under my car and touched the solenoid on the starter my car was trying to start. So I believe it is my security system. I don't know how to get passed it. With my car being a limited edition kind of makes things a little different. Do you have any suggestions? And by the way I greatly appreciate you taking time out of your day to help.

Welcome back:

If the anti theft light is on, do this. Turn the key to the run position and allow it to sit for around 10 minutes. If the light goes out, see if it will start. That is a bypass procedure for the security system.

Let me know what happens.
