Anti Theft Alarm

I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer, recently after two successive snow storms I started my Blazer and the anti theft light blinks and the alarm sounds for three cycles then quits. Is there a way to disable the audible as it is very embarrassing starting your vehicle and the alarm is sounding and everyone looks at you.

If you disable your alarm system because of embarrassment ( a poor excuse for too lazy to fix) imagine your inconvenience when someone steals the vehicle because you didn't hear it go . IT may be a simple thing such as resetting the CPU with a code reader or going to a good auto electrician or chevy service centre to have it fixed

    My apologies if I made it sound that it was just laziness that prevented me from getting it fixed. I was more looking for a temporary solution until I came up with cash because everything I had read before I posted was pricey fixes.

    It is always best to ask around and get advice from accredited auto electricians and to run the fault codes first . You can get an idea of prices as you ask and mostly it will be exactly for the fix.

SOURCE: 2001 ford taurus wont start and anti-theft light is blinking

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

SOURCE: 2000 ford windstar anti theft light flashing vehicle won't start

This means that your key is not being recogonized.Ethier the chip in the key is bad or the patts transciever at the lock cylinder. Do you have a spare key? If not you will have to get 2 new keyss cut and programmed.

Chevy Blazer. I have no spark and no fuel on my Blazer. I have been told it is because the anti theft light is on?

Question edited for clarity.

Yes Samantha, that could be exactly the case. If the anti-theft light is on and activated, you get no no spark or fuel so no start.

99 explorer alarm disables. Motor dies

Anti-theft system can keep vehicle from starting , Alarm is for vehicle content theft , open door without key alarm sounds (horns) ! PATS - passive anti theft system PATS enables and disables the engine from starting ,it will not cause the engine to die ! You have some other kind of problem ! If the vehicle engine doesn't turn over an red light on top of dash flashes fast ,then you have anti-theft system problem !
PATS differs from the perimeter anti-theft system in that PATS enables and disables the engine from starting. If equipped, the perimeter anti-theft system protects the perimeter of the vehicle (doors, hood and trunk) and sounds an alarm.

Why wont my alarm reset in my 1998 chevy blazer the security system is killing the fuel and i cant get it to run it starts and dies imeaditly

I don't think the anti-theft is the problem.
On GM vehicles, the anti-theft system will not allow the engine to crank, or get fuel or spark. If it cranks, you have a different problem.

Anti theft wont let me start car

The problem may not be with anti-theft but with a bad fuel pump,cam/crank sensor etc. Also, you may try unlocking the drivers door with the key. On most cars that is the standard method for disabling the security system.
