Car sat a couple of weeks cranks and does not start. Obd2 says error no codes. Checked all the fuses inside and in engine compartment. When the key is on some of the idiot lights come on and stay on as long as the key is on and the check engine light does not come on at all. I am totally baffled. Car started fine before it sat.

Try resetting security system if no manual look online for your car on how to do it.

If the check engine light is not coming on that means the computer is not powering up. First check all your fuses using a test light with the key on. If all fuses are good, check the main relay.

I checked the fuses they were all good so next was the main relay and I read on another site that it would be the blue and white wire off the relay is broken so I put a jumper wire on it and there it was. It was the main relay but it had a broken wire and more specifically the blue and white one. All fixed.
