checked all the fuses? Including the ones in the engine bay (drivers side)

is your interior light working?

can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the Key?

so ur odometer light is dull?
if so... there goes ur main fuse.

try swap it with ur abs fuse...

if it blows again, you could have dropped a winding in your fuel pump motor IE: new fuel pump!

but please check the relay and all other possibilitys b4 spending mulla!

tried it and still dosent start, i doubt its the fuel pump because the keyless entery dosent even work, so its most likely an electrical problem.
