Kluger wont turn over

[jobie]

Help, My Toyota Kluger 2004 wont turn over, I can unlock all the doors, battery has power but when I turn the key the security light stays on, so the motor wont start. Is there an override switch or some way to overcome the problem.Could it be a problem with the remote key? Any suggestions most welcome

You can try disconnecting the battery for 1 hour and reconnecting and try again.

Are you in Neutral or Drive gear by any chance?

Update. I have tried to start the car in N and P,with no success, I have also tried a new battery in the remote but still it turns over ie all the lights and icons come up on the dash but it wont start, the security light just keeps on flashing. I think I will need to get it towed to a Toyota service centre, just what I need with the kids going back to school and yes I drive them.

The transponder in the key may not be working properly. It might be bent or you have something on top of it causing it.

Here is the update! My Kluger was with Toyota for 7 days!!!!!! It was discovered that prior to me buying the car, 18 months ago, the windscreen had been replaced for roadworthy, as it turns out it was not sealed properly and a very small amount of water has been leaking onto the transponder unit! Hence I needed a new Immobiliser ECU and Transponder Amplifier which of course had to be ordered from interstate so $1200.00 later, being today I finally got my car back, now I need to get the windscreen re-sealed, and prey it doesn't crack during the process or it will be a new windscreen.
