SOURCE: theft system locked

To get the key out; look under the steering wheel for a plastic flat head screw. untwist it and then push the spring in and your key will be free. Then, go to your fuse box and remove the main fuses and you will hear the doors unlock when the system reset itself. Plug them back in and start your car. This just happened to me... seems the only things that were working were the navigation screen, headlights, fog lights, and reading light on the inside. Dash board was all dark except the engine light.

try unhooking you're positive battery cable wile the car is running then turn ignition off and put positive cable back on. if the problem is electrical this should reset it. could also be a fuse or a splayed wire.

My battery ran down on my 2005 Cadillac CTS because of non-use, sitting in my garage. I charged it up and it tests ok, but the car wont start and the lock out light is on the dash. If the battery is good...

A loss of power triggers the Anti theft feature on you car. In some cases, if you lock the drivers door and unlock it with the key, you can reset or rearm the system.

Another method is to turn the key to the On position and leave it there 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the key to attempt to start the car. If these 2 methods don't work, you may need to tow it to the dealer to have the Security reset.

Key stuck in ignition will not turn on think i trip some kind of anti theft mechanism only had 1 day any suggestions

If you have a backup key, try to disable system by using the key to lock and then un-lock the driver side door. This may work to disable the anti-theft mode. If that doesn't work, disconnect the battery cables then re-correct that normally is the trick. However, make sure it's not your battery. Use the unboard computer and check your battery voltage to make sure it's sufficient to start the car. The key won't eject if the battery is too low to start the car.
