94 LS400 ignition normal but everything dies when turned into start position

[Mbart]

Got a new Battery a few days ago, went to start today and ignition acted normal as I turn he key  until i get to the start position at which time the car goes dead..all lights and fans go off as normal but no noise after that. starter will not fire, in one of the posts in this forum had a link to Lextreme.com that gave me my problem and the fix.

problem: anti-theft was ingaged

Fix: lock and unlock the drivers door from the outside 5 times with the key. This will reset the anti-theft

It worked, thanks and hope its this simple for others with this problem
