I had Code p0355. I changed the crankshaft sensor. Now the car will not start. I don't know if it's something else. I turned the key I heard nothing, no click, no turning, absolutely nothing at all. Lights and radio come on. But when I turn the key absolutely nothing no clicks no turning nothing at all.

It sounds like the starter has gone bad or you have a bad connection at the battery, here are two guides to help us see what's going on and I have included how to change the starter out in case you need it. Also, I would remove the new sensor to see if it is too long and contacting the crankshaft.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

Not sure but I think that means I'm locked out of the car. When I turn the key I get nothing still.

Let's run the codes to see what comes up. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Good morning my friend, it will not let me. Read a code when I plug up the scanner all the dashboard lights start blinking really fast and it makes a ticking noise and then all the. Lights go out. However, I did see an engine light with a lock on. It never seen that before like I'm locked out of something I don't know.

Hey, my friend, the battery was completely drained. Thank you I fully charged it. Car still will not start. It will not let me read code it keeps saying error. I noticed a light on the dashboard. It's a car with a lock on it never seen that before. Car did not have this issue until my friend changed the full head gasket set and crank shaft sensor.

The BCM can cause all of the problems you are having but I would check the fuses first. Here is the location and how to change the BCM out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Good morning, my friend hope all is well. I just changed the BCM about twenty minutes ago car is still doing same thing will not start is there a relearn or program or maybe I missed a fuse in checking. Then I only checked the one under hood could not get down to under dashboard on drive side due to my health.
