So I’m trying to pair a key with my car. I did the thing the dealership told me, turning the key away from auxilery to off 3 times (once after each time of the security light going off)

On the third try the car still wouldn’t start, so I did it again.

Now once I turn it to auxilery the light flashes and I hear a repeated clicking noise. I don’t know what to do. I can’t get it towed or even push it out of the garage (the ramps are too steep) and I have basically no money. Is there anyone who knows what’s going on?

Are you waiting the 10 or so minutes for the “Security Indicator” to turn off ?
