My car won't start I turn the key and nothing happens no click or turning of the engine. When I wait after a while the car makes a beeping noise like it resests itself then it starts but as soon as I turn it off same thing. Now I'm having no luck of starting it. What could it be?

Your immobilizer is immobilizing ;) Your car has a security feature called an immobiliser which will prevent the car from starting, or will make it die after being driven only a short distance if the key is not in the ignition or you didn't press a hidden switch in time.

Sometimes these systems malfunction, causing the car to die even though you've done everything you're supposed to.

  • Your car's anti-theft system is preventing you from starting it.

    This answer would be much more useful to the next person with the exact same question if you capture the flow of comments above as a series of steps in the answer itself. Currently, when I open the answer, I only see the very first comment.
