Light came on it said theft sys
Your theft system is enabled. The car will only start and die if it will even start at all. More than likely it just turn over and wont start and this light is flashing you in the face. You need a new passlock sensor. It is located in the steering column and is part of the ignition switch lock cylinder. The lock cylinder must be replaced as a unit with the passlock sensor and match your existing key code so they will need the key...OR if you have a TOP NOTCH lock smith in town, take him your original key and they can program a small modual to match your key that plugs into the passlock sensor main wiring harness ( going to the computer and not the steering column ) at the base of the steering column to bypass the one in the ignition housing. I know they make them because I have put 4 in over the last 2 months. 2 pontiacs, 1 cadillac, and 1 chevy tahoe. It beats the heck out of tearing the steering column apart!
i do still have my manual; it doesn't help at all with the passlock, or button. the manual just says to take the car to the dealer. i am curious what that little button is for. and yes it would be self defeating to reset the passlock, but why did the car start properly and the warning light go off?
