Did you try cleaning the key, or using a different key?

If the lite is flashing, don't try to crank it, wait and see if the lite goes out, it may take several minutes. If the lite goes out, then try to start.

If you the vats theft system, there is a bypass procedure. I'm not sure about the forum rules, here, about bypassing a theft system. Somebody with a higher ranking than myself, may have to talk to you.
