Yes I did recheck fuse. I repaired key fob tried to reprogram no luck. Off to dealer on a flat bed with alarm going off this a.m. I will ask dealer if we can eliminate alarm. I believe that alarm is shorted or bad and the reason for the non starting issues. Jim

I'd take the immobilizer out from underneath the driver's seat and get a look at it. Disconnect the battery first. There's four bolts holding the seat down. Unbolt them and you can move the seat far enough forward that you can access the immobilizer. Open it up and see if there's any corrosion.

I took it to dealer 40 mi away this a.m. They called and said the security computer is out and I need 2 new keys total L+M 1450. Parts come in 4 days. I asked can they disconnect it all and run standard keys only they said no. I am betting yes but a dealer cant do that. Am I correct?
BTW where is that security computer located? Under the seat? Jim
