so your not cranking either ? just dead ? check the batter connections? is your key ____ed up ? if the sensor is not properly installed inside the key it wont start the car. check all the connections in the engine bay.

you shorted something out. the only thing that would happen is the fuses blowing.

did you check all the larger fuses?

fuses are suppose to blow so that you dont get continueous power to burn out the electronically components or melt the wires.

so it has to be the fuses.
