Answer
Your most likely fault is a problem in the THEFT SYSTEM (PASS-KEY) of the vehicles electronics.

Problem could be:

A fault in the chip on the ignition key.

2. A fault in the electrical contacts in the mechanical lock cylinder on the steering column.

3. A fault in the THEFT MODULE.

4. A faulty starter relay.
Have you yet removed and replaced the battery cable?
