Hello, I'd make sure the battery has a full charge, cables are ok. Will the vehicle crank? You might have to check the feed to and from the ignition switch?

If your not getting voltage to the fuel pump relay, red wire is hot all the time, dark blue wire goes hot when you turn the key on. The computer grounds the coil side of relay. I don't have good info on your theft system.
