wow no periods or commas. I believe you're saying that your battery died and you tried to jump it, but it didnt work. So you replaced the battery and now it won't start. Does the engine crank or anything?

Let me explain.

He has a gs300, it came with a non lexus key with chip in it. Car was bought at an auction. It ran and drove once as we drove it off the flatbed into the driveway.

Fast forward three days, car just cranks, it does not turn over. When key is in the ignition, security light blinks.

We took a computer and key from a is300, and installed it into the GS. Inserting the IS key into the gs cylinder, the security light turns off. We did not try to start the car, as we did not want to take a chance damaging the is3 computer.

I also had a new master key made, and the engine computer reflashed to virgin status. After doing that, same behavior, car cranks, security light stays on.

Any advice? Thank you.
