I think I seen a artical about that being todo with the dash panel and the anti thef.. if my memory is correct.. ill see if I can laocate article.

There is no way to reset the "Anti-Theft" system. Hopefully you have more than one ignition key. Slide one key into the ignition cylinder and try to start the engine. If nothing, try the same thing with the other key. There is a transponder inside each key and the exciter ring will send a signal to the key. If the signal that it receives is not valid, then the Anti-Theft system will tell the ECU not to allow the car to be started. What is the security light doing while you try to start the engine? Did this problem happen out of the blue? Was a repair performed on the ignition switch? Are there any other symptoms? Please write back and let me know, good luck.

Changing the ignition has interrupted the passlock antitheft system. Here is a link that has some good info on it.

CHECK TO SEE IF FUEL RESET BUTTON NEEDS TO BE PUSHED BACK
IN . IT IS LOCATED IN THE LEFT REAR CORNER BEHIND AN ACCESS
N THE TRIM PANAL. MAY HAVE TO MOVE THE SPARE TIRE

I hate to tell you this, but all of the components you have just change will not do a thing for the anti-theft light. The vehicles security system has been activated, and that is what is not allowing the vehicle to start. The only way to diagnose what is causing this is to have a scan device capable of Body Control Module communication.

You don't. You will have to go to a shop and have them put a scanner on your vehicle and then repair the problem with the PATS System

MIne does this if I have somehting in my pocket and I lean against something , it hits the button. Just a thought.

Try unlocking the driver door with the key.Then try to start the car. Hope this helps.
