I have also read that if you leave the ignition on for one hour it will unlock it.
Hold your horses there. Where was the damage done? How much damage was done and was it fixed at a body shop?
Just saying it is the SKREEM is too easy.
If it was damaged during the accident the car probably would not have started later, did it or not?
We are missing facts here, I assumed you did do the disconnect after each time it failed and you omitted to mention the fault code.
Think of the Forum as a car doctor, give all the symptoms, or as Sgt. Joe Friday said 'just the facts'.
The SKREEM is not plug and play until it has had the VIN# set in it. It is the basic security keeper of the car, if it was easy to set the car would be a sitting duck for theft.
Do you have the correct key? Do you have another key? Did any work get done under the dash?
