Tried fuses, battery, cable, has power to dome light, odometer, my lock unlock remote works, wont turn over? Have had people tell me needs rekey, I just cant figure it out. Every piece that came off was bolt on grill radiator support, hood.

Check for voltage at fuse 1--30 amp. Power distribution center under the hood, should be hot all the time, use voltage tesater/testlite. That fuse supplies voltage to starter relay and ignition switch. Where applicable, I haven't checked about your security system?

I did look at your security system. After the sixth attempt at starting, the pcm will disable the starter relay untill the fault is corrected. My info shows it takes a manufacturer specific scanner to reprogram. You may need to take it to your local dealership for reprograming.

If the security system is an issue, it should set a code. To check codes yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader that will check both PO and manufacturer specific codes.
