Dude. Look directly under your steering wheel. Down where you’d see the plug that mechanics hook up their computer to in order to read codes and diagnose check engine problems, well, right beside that sticking out should be another similar- looking outlet. Except it should have a removable plug in it with the words “anti theft” printed on it. This plug is a security measure. Youd remove it and carry it with you just like you would your keys. This is for just in case someone were to have a copy of your key. Pulling the plug disables the ignition and the car won’t start. So I’d make sure that plug hasn’t came loose or been removed.
