Default 1999 maxima computer/security problem

I bought a 1999 maxima gle a couple of weeks ago, in barely running condition. I replaced 4 coils, and it was running on 5 cylinders. The computer had a bad driver for one of the coils, so I bought a replacement computer from a junk yard. I made sure that all of the numbers matched. I just got the computer today, and plugged it in and tried to start it. It just cranks. To be sure that it was in the computer, I put the old computer in, and it fired right up. I doubt that the new computer is bad, I believe that I have a security problem. Where do I go from here?

I forgot to mention: The starter does engage, it just wont start. With the key off, the security light blinks every couple of seconds. With the key on, the security light stays illuminated.

Well try with a different computer. and also the batteries might have gone dead. i would suggest you to take that near a mechanic who can fix it up for you.

I guess the computer didn't the program...try to ask for a technician that can see the compatibility of your computer to 1999 maxima gle, btw, did you bought a used car it won't happen if its a new one.

Sounds like something is fried. Try to reset the auto-tune parameters on the computer, and they need to be reset to a factory default. Not sure how you would do that, but maybe something worth looking into. Have you checked the fuses under the dash?
