So my battery started to die and eventually died completely so I installed a brand new one. All the electronics work now, but the security light on the dash is flashing and the 4-way flashers go on for 30 seconds when I try to start it, but it won't start. is there an immobilizer on these cars?

Hello,
does it crank, do you here a little click when you turn the ignition key, eletronics need a lot less amps then a starter....
check connection.
before your battery died everything was ok and you just change the battery
connection poles on the battery is a tight (serrer in french, not sure if the word is ok) not a bite loose, cable to connector move ...etc

it was definitely a security issue. I disconnected the battery, turned the key all the way on, then re-connected the battery and it started right up.
