Wont start because the starter won't turn over could be a dead battery.

My car, an '02 330 CI had a dead battery that didn't act like a dead battery. Will your car start with jumper cables on it? I bought a new key at the dealer for $204. They had to program it there to make it work. I know you can't move your car to get it there though. Good Luck.

> the key would not turn in the door-lock

Are you sure that you are using the correct key?
Did you recently separate/divorce from your partner/spouse?
Did the ex-spouse have the car "rekeyed", so that the "old" keys no longer work?

Did you recharge or replace the dead battery?

My first guess would be a dead cell inside the battery, or a blown fuseable link between the battery and the fuse box.
Someone would need to check the battery connections and fuse box with a meter.

Make sure your getting 12V at the starter (fm batt) & have a good, clean ground from the batt. Good luck

Sounds like you need to reset your alarm kill switch, which should be located near the driverside kick panels. GL.

what ever that motor is that is running with key off is running your battery down.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5821173-doesnt_car_start_gasoline_engines and let me know if you have questions.

If the battery has gone dead, it could cause the security system to go into full lock-up mode. If it has locked up the accessories will work after the battery is charged back up , but the power to the starter will be cut off and it wont turn over. You need to do the 30 minute learn procedure. A GM dealer will print it out for you and you can do it yourself. It's very simple if you follow the procedure exact. hope this helps and good luck.
