Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day.
- To diagnose this we will need to do some tests from wiring diagrams using a voltmeter and possibly a scan tool.
- Would you be able to do that?
- Is the concern occurring right now?

Are you planning to take the vehicle to a shop so it can be diagnosed and repaired there and you are wanting to know what may be wrong?

When it will not crank, Can you verify the ignition switch is powering the red wire and black wire in and out of the park neutral position switch when trying to start?

Since you were not able to reply to the info request I sent. I cannot be as accurate and thorough as I would like in my answer. I hope what I can provide does help.
If the ignition switch and PNP switch are doing their part and you have anti theft. Then programming the keys back to the vehicle should be all that you need.
Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
