No start or no crank?

Auto or manual?

Step on clutch or brake?

You have the key fob in your pocket. Did you lay it on the work bench?

If it is automatic is it in park?

I just think it is not reading the fob

Something is stopping the car from reading the fob. Some safety feature is not allowing it to engage

Move the shifter in and out of park.

Try starting it on the FOB outside of the car.

Access the battery compartment and disconnect the battery and wait 10-15 minutes before reconnecting. Who knows, could reset something.
