How to start up car?

Asked by Corey Nov 12, 2021 at 12:08 AM about the 2009 Kia Rio LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car was stolen. And now I can't get it to start.  
All fuses are good. Lights come on. Radio doesn't,
ac doesn't.  I tested relay and no power at relay. If i
run directly from battery starter turns. And if i I
power pcm fan ac and all powered up.
But absolutely nothing on power for relay. Again all
fuses are good.

Sounds like anti-thief is fully activated. Look in the owners manual for deactivate procedure.

Did you leave the keys in it ? If they didn't have a key it would have to be hacked so the dealer will have to de-bug it . I think .

Could be the security system is in full lock out. You maybe able to disarm it by running the procedure listed in the owners manual. However if that doesn't work then your only option is the dealership will have to run a re-code of the security system and hope nothing else was damaged.

Sounds like the security system has locked down the vehicle. You'll need to visit your local Kia Dealer for repairs. Perhaps your insurance company will pay for the repairs? Sorry! Jim
