I was looking at the power lock on the drivers side so i disconnected the battery. When i hooked up the battery again the theft light started to flash fast when i turned the key and it won't start. Is ther any way to fix it without having it towed to the dealer ?

Thanks I checked them all and they are all good.
Do you know of anything else it could be ?

Before disconnecting the battery on newer vehicles you have to install this 9v battery plug in thing that goes into your cigarette lighter that holds power to the anti-theft features opon disconnection otherwise there's a procedure in order to deactivate it which might be in the repair manual or online somewhere... I'll check around for the procedure and keep ya posted.
