If the engine does not crank and the theft light is flashing fast, try using a spare key to start the vehicle.

Make sure the headlight will turn on bright.

Also make sure there is no aftermarket remote start or alarm system added under the dash drivers side. If found remove it!!!

I hope this is helpful to you!
