I have a new battery, good starter, but It will not start, I can hear a clicking sound under the dash, all of the lights in the dash come on. I don't hear the fuel pump come on like it isn't getting power to the starter or fuel pump.

I suggest trying a different key if you have one. If that doesn't fix the problem it could be the security system.

What did you have installed? If this problem has cropped up since the radio was installed. There is a chance it was hooked it up incorrectly. I would suggest having the radio installer take a look at the problem.

Sorry, I meant that I had a security system installed. I couldn't use the key pad to lock doors, when my radio was installed they fixed the key pad so I could use it to lock my doors and that was two years ago. I haven't had a problem with it until now.

I suggest having the person that installed the security system and fixed the key pad to take a look at the car.
