at first i thought your thread was titled "why does my left thigh have nuts"

are you using a different key by chance? or did you attempt to start the car at some point with a replica key that did not have the transponder in it?

edit: i also just found this. not sure if it will help or not. note: i take no no responsibility for any irreparable damage, and or "bad things" that may or may not occur from this lol

"Look under your dash for the alarm brain. Once you find that there will be two red wires (red/blue stripe and a red/brown dash's) side by side on it's own harness conecting to the brain. Cut the two wires and connect them together and your good to go! "

i dont no about the wire thing but my car did the same thing i had to go have my computer reset and just disconnect the alarm becuz it was causing it not to start

usually after the alarm goes off, the inside theft ligth will blink rapidly until the car has its next engine cycle. Did you start the car, let it run for a few, and the shut it off?

my theft light blinks rapidly and then after a minute it blinks slowly and after another minute it turns off. This is because of my tuner messed my car up. So my tune on it is overriding the security on it so that is why.
