No Crank No start

My 2011 hhr wont crank or start. The starter and the alternator along with the battery is fine. Could my anti deterrent system be the problem? How can I disable it?

What were the numbers from the battery load test?
have you checked the fuse box halves?
the max fuse by the battery ?
the ground wires?

The only way theft deterrent (PK3) would cause a no start is with a key that has not been configured. And then, I'm not sure about no crank.

One of my HHRs did the same thing recently.

It was the crank relay in the underhood fuse box. The relay was intermittent. As someone turned the ignition to crank, I tapped on the relay and it started. Pull the relay and see if there is 12 volts across the relay coil terminals (in the fuse box) while someone turns ignition to crank.

In addition to the anti-theft, it could also be the Park/neutral switch on automatic transmission models, or the clutch position switch on manual transmission models.

I'm sorry I'm late responding all my lights are on including my anti theft lock but my car will not crank or start I checked everything and it seems to be fine I really believe it's my antilock I dont have a remote starter just my main key. I checked to see of maybe someone tried to break in but that dont seem to be the case. I hear a clicking in my engine when I try to start it. I'm just baffled. Thanks Steve I'll try that

No such thing as an Anti Theft Lock, Antilock, or anti deterent. (Well, there is antilock BRAKES)
The HHR's do have a THEFT Deterrent System. Need to be clear on what you're talking about. Especially if you need to research it.

Your problem. Hard to say unless you answer some of the questions like load test numbers and battery voltage. Saying they're "fine" doesn't mean anything.
Was the battery tested ? Was the starter pulled off and tested ? Was the main +battery connection at the fuse box cleaned ?
Where is that clicking noise coming from exactly ?
All these questions need to be answered if you want help here.
