we had a problem with the open door light staying on and no dome lights when we opened the doors. So we sprayed the doors and connectors of doors with wd40 then unhooked battery cables. When we went to hook it back up the van would not start. Tried a boost and would not start. Wondering if it has something to do with the theft security it has on it. Help me please

Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)

PATS also disables starter motor. Engine will not start. Theft indicator will prove out for 3 seconds when ignition switch is turned to RUN or START position. If PATS is malfunctioning, theft light will flash rapidly or glow steadily. PATS theft indicator flashes every 2 seconds after ignition switch is turned to OFF to act as a visual theft deterrent. PATS will not store DTC or flash theft indicator if valid encoded ignition key is used and a failure occurs in starter relay circuit.
