If the light is flashing, the car won't start. What you need to do is (and I hate to say it) take it to a dealer and have them reprogram the theft system. For some reason, it lost its identification.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Thats not true , i found someone in a forum with the same problem.... if u disconnect both battery leads and let it sit 20 minutes, insert the key in the "on" position, connect the positive post first, then the negative, the car will recognize the key and start...
