well that light means you have activated the pass key system also known as vats notice the little black piece of rubber on your key with the piece of metal in it that metal has a special resistance to it the is necesary to start the car if you dont have the right resistance the car wont start...

when you crank it can you hear a metalic click from the engine compartment or no?

if you dont hear a click and it doesnt crank then it might be vats but it could also be any number of electrical problems so we need more info on what the car will do and what it doesnt do saying it wont start isnt useful either...
