Hello,

What happens when you turn the key and try to start it? Does it do nothing at all, does it click, does it crank and just not catch? Is the security flashing? Finally is the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) AKA,"check engine" light on? Please get back to us with what you find out and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
