So you broke the key off. You now have a new key made. Was it made with the correct resistance on the pellet? Do you not have a spare key?

If the CCM does not get the correct resistance from the pellet on the key it will not crank and also the pulsses to the injectors are disabled. So no crank and no fuel = no start.
Take your VIN #, registration, and the broken key to your dealer and they will cut you a new key for about $20. And tell the mechanic that doesn't have a clue what he is doing to STOP before he damages something.

Also get a spare key cut while you are at it.
