why won't the car start? it appears the "anti-theft" system has been activated
What is your question?
I have tried the spare key, with no success. There is no response.
I do not think the battery is dead, since the car started up fine a couple of hours earlier. How do I override/disable the security system, if it's keeping me from starting the car?
