    I have exactly the same problem as you mate in 2020 and I have done and checked everything you did. what happened to me after installing a new battery when I put the positive terminal on, it arced well it didn't look good I didn't disconnect the computer cables which I should of,"but I forgot" And it could of reset the security on lock mode that's what I think maybe someone else may know different. My immobilizer key has a lock and unlock function on it and it never has worked since I brought the car, it was already set on unlock mode so I didn't worry about it too much at the time. But I did think about what if Hence the reason I'm here to find out more info and help.I am not sure if I could get help here because it's been 8 years since the last post.I do have my own solutions to this problem.

You may have a bad key chip, try a diffrent key in the ignition, also make sure you do not have magnet strip mini swipe cards on key chain near the ignition. this sounds like the immoboilizer system is active. this system will not allow the coils to spark.
The key would be the first thing to check. do this by using another key.if car still will not start then the key reader may be bad, this is located around the ignition . the last problem could be the module or a broken wire.The best way to check this would be with a scan tool. there will be codes stored in the anti or body module. the codes will tell you where the failure is and with some testing the problem can be found. the scan tool can help by reading the values and readings. it can tell you if the key chip is read and if the module accepts it. i think if the spare key does not start the car then it will be cheaper to have a shop diagnose the problem. this will help you from just putting parts in. also this anti theft system needs programing when certain parts are replaced.
hope this is helpful, good day

Check ECM (engine computer) located under glove box. Injector circuit output probably dead. Replace ECM. Go to Searchparts.com for best price.

I'm having trouble with the starter on my 1994 Suzuki Swift (automatic) it won't do anything not even a click

Take a test light and check for power and the main large wire, if ok check the smaller signal wire if it has power when somone tries to start it. If so replace your starter motor

Car will not start on ignition, engine trying but just wont kick in

First things to check is fuel and spark. When you turn the ignition on do you hear the fuel pump prime? (sounds like a buzzing sound probably from under the rear seats) if it does then thats good! If not then it could be a fuse or even an immobiliser. Does it have an immobiliser? Or even a broken wire, etc. For a spark it's best to use an adaptor between the spark plug and ht lead, it will flash as you turn it over if there is a spark (there are other ways but it's prob best to google them). Would also be worth while to check all connections on the engine, etc. Hope this helps as a starting point. Oh and as you said it is turning over I would assume that the battery is ok but you may also want to volt test this to confirm.

How do i replace 2007 suzuki swift driving light

trace the wires to the light underneath the car. May twist off the socket in order to unlock it from the lense if it's like my 1999 Ford Expedition.

Good luck on this fix

Suzuki swift 1000 carburetta. engine will not start when you crank the engine with the key but if you bump start it. it will start and run fine any ideas

Could be the starter motor cranking too slowly or a fault in the wiring not allowing power to the ignition when starter is engaged.
