when i put the key on the gauges turn on but i don't get any beeps and when i attempt to start it, it does nothing at all.It also might not be recognizing the key. Do you get 2 quick beeps when you install the lanyard?
when i put the key on, the gauges turn on but i don't get any beeps and when i attempt to start it, it does nothing at allGonna have to check continuity of the start switch with a meter, check for voltage on the solenoid on the small plug ( 2 wires) when you press the start button and you could also bridge the solenoid with a screwdriver to see if will actually start with the lanyard on. I believe the solenoid is in the black box over the driveshaft in the rear. You'll have to remove the rear seat vent thing.
you can test the start button easily.
REMOVE the key, and press the start button. Gauges should turn on and stay on for approx 30 seconds.
If they do not, the button does not work. (or you have other issues).
I agree, get the beeper working.
Did you check all fuses in the MPEM AND in the e-box? the ones in the box are what I suspect, that's where the starter relay is...
I would replace the beeper first so you will know if the mpem is reading the key.
They're $17 plus $15 for shipping. Bro in law just bought one last season.The oem ones are available from Floyd Bell for $20. Part number SP-1136
I replaced the beeper finally and when i hit the start button 5 times it makes a short beep and then a long beep. I put the key on it does the 2 short beeps and then after 10 seconds it does one long beep but at no time does it make any attempt to start.I would replace the beeper first so you will know if the mpem is reading the key.

So, after you get the 2 beeps have you pressed the start button? If all is correct it SHOULD attempt to start.
The two quick beeps is it indicating that it recognizes the key. If you push the button and it gives you one long beep whenever you push the start then it has lost communication with the key and is typically the DESS Post.
I would suspect the starter solenoid if it is giving you two beeps but won't crank. Have you tired jumping the starter solenoid posts to make sure the starter and cables are good?
Are you sure it's the correct key? Usually the wrong key gives a long beep, I think...
Each key has a 6 or 8 digit hex code that the MPEM reads.
If it's the wrong key, it won't start, but I believe the gauges turn on.
Don't forget about the starter solenoid, could be the 12V coil that pulls in the contact plunger is disconnected or plunger inside is corroded so it won't move when the 12V solenoid coil is energized.
