You have to have the keys. Please quit trying to steal someone else's car. :

well i had that problem and it was because my security chip fell out of my key. Your key may be shot... even with the chip the key can go bad... Or you got the wrong car.. haha. But ya I had to get a key made from the dealership. Pain in my ass.

It's not un heard of...but it does seem a bit ironic. Check the cut off switch in the back of the trunk.

When you turn your key to the first click do you hear this whine or high pitch sound coming from the trunk?

I'm having the same kind of problem. If I turn the key just to on, all my electronics fire up (lights come on, radio plays) but as soon as I turn it to start, all the power is cut. If I go out and move the battery cables, all the stuff turns back on, but when I turn the key to start, it cuts power again. WTF?

it's something in his ignition. my ignition lock went bad in my last car, and every time I opened the doors or put the key in the ignition it would set the alarm off.

Yeah it's definitely PATS related or the theft light wouldn't be blinking.
