I can't figure out why my car isn't starting all the sudden. It was starting fine until a couple days afo and now it just doesn't start. All the lights come on, the battery isn't dead, it has gas, I hear the fuel pump for a few seconds when I turn the key over. Everything is like it's gonna start but it doesn't start. I turn the key over and nothing. But everything seems fine. I checked all the fuses, hoses, battery cables. I do have the theft light on in the dash and it stays on and solid. Even after I've left the key on run for 10-15 mins. The theft light doesn't ever go off.
But if it's the Passlock keeping it from starting how do I stop the Passlock from keeping the car from starting?
Any ideas would be awesome! I've searched around online on this site and others and I can't find any posts that are exactly like my problem.
Please help!

Try another key first the system was switched around that time. So if the other way so doesn't work it's the key. You will need a pro to reset if your key is bad and get another one.
