I first recommend we check the battery and cable connections to make sure that they are clean and secure. It could be as simple as a bad battery.As far as the ignition yes if you get a used assembly the key will need to be programmed.Also look near the battery for a single wire white connector. It does not get connected to anytyhing but if it is damaged or crushed it can cause these type of issues.Let me know.
