The motor does spin . The teft kight on dash flashes until u turn key all the way to crank engine. Then it stops tgen it flashes rapidly the back to a steady pulse

Would you confirm whether or not the starter motor is spinning the engine? In your first post you indicated that you used a hammer on the battery cables and the engine cranks but won't start. Is that still the condition you are in?

turn the key to the on position, but don't start... the THEFT light will come on for 3 seconds, recognize the key, then the light will go out... If it does not go out, the motor will not start...
