Default Turn key and nothing!

Well my car won't start. Has full power all lights horn turn on.Turn the key and nothing no crank no clicks all I get is nothing. When I turn the key the check engine, security, and check gauges lights go on. switched the ignition relay with a fan relay and nothing. Changed the battery nothing. I noticed that the hatch was not completely shut after I tried a few times. Could that have caused the problem? How do I fix this! Possibly the VATS? I'm getting frustrated the car is just sitting in a parking lot for now.

Sounds like VATS, try your extra key if you have one. just keep trying sometimes they will eventually work. If not, bypass it. Its pretty easy, ive had to do it a few times.

Mine was doing the same thing. Even after the tune where I hade them disable VATS. I had a buddy play with solenoid for the ignition under the hood on drivers side while I had the key turned and started right up. May want to take a look at that.
