I have read and read and could not seem to find an actual solution.
Last night my VDC off, ABS, slip and 4WD lights came on. Pulled over at a gas station. Checked brake fluid it was fine. Went to start my car and it will not turn over now. All of those lights are still on also. Any suggestions?

Scan for codes there is an /abs problem so it knocked all the other stuff off. Check battery for condition including load test most places do for free.

If you used an auto parts scanner it will not pick up those codes only a professional model used by a mechanic will. Check battery though as it may be that auto parts and most other places do that for free.

Alright, I do not believe that to be it (it is trying to start like a champ), but I will for sure give that a try.

If it still will not turn over and you hear a loud click have an assistant or you hit body of starter with a hammer if it starts the starter is bad that is if it will not turn over. If it turns over but does not run scan for codes or have a pro look at it.

Just an update. Did a few of the recommended test. So far all check out fine. Replaced camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. It started, sputtered a little and died. Started it again, then died. Now it will not start again. Just cranks. All lights still on.

Because the battery was disconnected try the security thing again as that normally will apply the anti theft when the battery is disconnected. If not then check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it see link.
