Hello - it is normal for all system lights to illuminate when the vehicle is first powered on as a "systems check". The failure to start after that indicates another problem: low battery condition, security problem (with the key), car is not in Park/Neutral, etc. For diagnostic assistance, I recommend a no start inspection performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, and give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
