Q: Car wont start after battery swap.
I have tried the 3 quick fixes for an anti theft reset however none have worked so far. The anti theft light flashes only when the front doors are opened and turns off when they are shut. There is no clicking sounds coming from the car aside from the normal electrical sounds. I have also tried to start the car with the spare key with no luck.
My car has 294761 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
