What car you got - is it the VATS / Pass-Key II system where there is a resistor built in to your key? If so, it may well be the same issue that I'm having and have just posted about. Likely to be a wiring fault in the anti-theft system.

WTF, I went to start my car on lunch today.... no start, key turns and all accessory lights come on, wont even start to crank. Tried my spare key, nothing. Gonna go try a couple things when i get out... but it seems like the VATS. ****.

Just as i though, bypassing the VATS system got the car running again. My suggestion to anyone who even has the slightest hunch that their VATS system is going haywire, deal with it now before you are left stranded.
Vats!
