we have put a new ignition control module in also an ignition switch, could it have something to do with the alarm? it does not start unless you push the clicker. The key does not open the door only the clicker will unlock it.
there is no spark when it does that.

The key not unlocking the door is the lock actuating rod from the door mechanism to the key cylinder being either loose or missing. The bushing probably wore out and the rod is probably sitting at the bottom of the door.

The no start does sound like the alarm system is fritzing. Check the fuses and relays for it.
