Okay, the car will not crank. I just bought it used yesterday. Probably take it to a mechanic after the weekend, it's Saturday right now. I suspect it's the passkey or vats as the key looks like it's been around the block a few times.
Okay my questions (so I can figure out if that's the problem)
Is it normal for the security light come ti on when you turn the key? I turn the key in the "on" position (keeping in mind it doesnt crank)and the security light is still on but goes off after a few second.
Also the battery light is on and the service engine light is on while the switch is turned. Is all of that indicative of a passkey issue? I got the car to crank over and start one time after the problem started and none of the dash lights where on while it was running and it ran fine.
I'm pretty sure it's a passkey issue but the thing that throws me is that while the switch is turned on the security light goes on after a few seconds. Like I said previously, I just got the car so I dont know if its normal for the security light to come on for a few seconds when you stick the key in. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
