Did anyone checked the problem or you just start replacing stuff??? First does the engine turns? Second if he does turn,see if you got spark on the spark plugs,and also gas on the injectors? And if the engine does turn,try the second key if you have one. Also the alarm could cause the engine not to turn and sometimes to turn and not start. Anyway i will start with the second pair of keys if you have them if not... Post what happen and someone will come up with a solution But people need more infirmatio

If you are still having trouble with this please note the 2006 convertible has a starter disable function in the alarm system if the vehicle senses the doors to be locked and alarm to be engaged you can find your self in a position where you have ample power and good starter ect.... but nothing happens when you turn the key, Remove the key from the ignition. close the doors. Use the remote to lock the vehicle and verify the red lights are blinking on the doors. Now press the unlock button on the remote twice and verify red lights stop blinking and then start your car. (I believe you might be able to accomplish the same thing using the key on the drivers side door but you would have to test that) This is almost always a problem with sensors on the door (lock sensor, door open sensor, door handle sensor, time to buy a new car sensor).
