George,

Two possible things:

1) Battery problem of some kind: bad battery, dirty corroded connections.

2) Active Immobilizer caused by the inability to disarm it. (see #1)

I would test the battery voltages at the terminals and if its less than 12.66 VDC, I would put it on a charger for 12 hours. If the battery is 4 years old or more, I would consider replacing it.

Clean the battery posts and clamps while you are at it.
