Thank You!!!!! I took a truck as a trade in at dealership I work at and am driving it home right now, and everything was already exposed to that wire around the steering wheel and didn't know why, and the guy who traded it in didn't tell me.. anyway it's 10:30 at night and I was stuck at a gas station until about 2 mins ago thanks to this video!!! this vid just saved the day so THANK YOU very much!!
Just found this video......THANK YOU! Just went and banged the top of the wheel and it started! So far has only cost me a fuel filter. I imagine a 1995 Tahoe would be the same steering wheel so I'll check out your other video. Thanks again so much! Cheers!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Worked INSTANTLY on my ‘99 suburban!!!!!! You saved me a $100 diagnostic fee and a whole lot of headache! P.S. you don’t have to take the steering wheel etc off if you’re ok with using wire cutters to cut the lower part of the plastic column housing around the ignition drum on the right side and then prying the whole thing back from the top center of the steering wheel and off, the screw post will break but you can pop main cover right back into place.
Hey, great vid, I watched the tooth pick video and tried it on my 2000 Chevy 3500 truck and so far it has worked great! I also put some dialectic grease on the plug. Anyway, great vid!
I've been helping an older friend with his 95' Silverado for a while now. This is his latest plague. I'm replacing the ignition switch wiring this weekend & I'll keep an eye on this plug too. Fingers crossed, thanks.
if you check out the playlist for this truck on my channel i just did vids on replacing this wire harness and ignition switch as well as several other vids. have a good one
I just tried this on my 03 Suburban it would start and shut off with the orange antitheft flashing, my wire was definitely loose but I stuck in a piece of ziptie and it REALLY WORKED!! THANKS SO MUCH
it works for me. .after installing a new switch my van start having problems like 3 times a day..for 6 months. have to wait 10 minutes in till the security light stop flashing then my car turns on again..I did what I see on video. .PROBLEM SOLVED. ..THANKS. .
"PROBLEM SOLVED" after days of trouble. SPRAYED CRC "Electronic Spray" ($3 at Walmart) into my "aging ignition." (Electronic spray will not hurt the "dusty old" ignition). Unbelievable! "1998" Chevy Cavalier 2.2L engine. Chevy wanted $300 for a reset. Had it towed several times and local mechanics tried everything. Found this $3 CRC spray solution in a forum. "Security light" kept coming on. Stalled in traffic. Had to wait to start again. Looked at all the "bypass solutions" and Amazon gadgets too. When it works for you remember to share and pay-it-forward.
Google doesnt know it but its guys like you that upload helpful videos and make life today so much easier. Guys like pewdiepie are leading the way on youtube but u almost feel dumber having watching his content. Funny yes. Knowledgeable defiently not. Cheers for the video buds. I subbed
Mine had this exact same problem (06). If it helps anyone I was able to get it going by just giving it some gas immediately after it starting but then it progressively got worse to where that was not effective anymore. Changed fuse box, repalced ignition switch, etc. Mechanic I completely trust did a lot of research and troubleshooted and just couldn't pinpoint the issue other than he thinks it was related to security system... which means probably a dealership type job. That would be stupid expensive and not worth it, and my mechanic didn't have the capabilities Chevrolet would have to get deeper into the problem. He even told me it started itself up while he was inside the shop. This shit is weird and hard to believe no one has found a definitive fix. I sold it today finally, and I hope who bought it can figure it out. Loved the vehicle, hated the issues that came with it when this happened.
What you need to do is pull the connector out and then pull each of the 3 wire connectors out of the plastic connector and tighten the tips that slide over the pins by carefully and slightly squishing the tips together. Then replace them in the plastic connector and snap it back in place.
What is that connector called someone stole my truck and pulled those cords out and I can’t get them back in the connector so I’m trying to buy a new one
@@osheafleming6764 it's part of the ignition switch wiring harness. You can buy them new or used. Then you have to do the relearn procedure. Many videos on that. Takes about an hour. Just make sure your battery is charged good.
I had the same issue. Did the whole ignition wire toothpick fix, but still had the issue. Then i noticed my key fob didnt work anymore. I read somewhere that the antenna signal box that located behind the instrument cluster has to be unplugged then plugged back in. Instead of doing that, i checked the TBC fuse located in the fuse box under the hoof for the box. Found out it was bad. Its located at the bottom far right. Did a continuity check. It was bad. So, i replaced it. Truck fired up with no more issues. Just have to reteach the fob.
Aloha, need some help with a 2006 chevy suburban continuity fuse? no start after engine rinse down, something with the ignition not turning on fuel pump, fuel pump is new! relay works but not from ignition to relay
Im having an issue with my 93 forerunner. Starts most times, wont run on. Had everything checked. Fuel pressure coil ignition etc etc. Key start was intermittant. Would I ever have that as it is key entry? Anyway great video.
Hey Sam, quick question, I have GMC Sierra and it won't start - so it turns over and acts like it has a flat battery and then the horn blasts. Did you have the issue ? I think I have a passlock problem as well but just trying to see if this is the similar issue....
How did you remove the steering wheel? I went to the junk yard. And it the ingition switch. I also wanted to remove the whole key assembly. Oh ok I'll look at your other video.
I don't know if you'll be able to answer this for me but does this work for a 2000 Chevy Silverados to we had one that it's not starting and we thought it was a starter and then it would stay in 4-wheel so someone told him to take the positive cable off and it's been screwed up ever since it won't stay running or start what do you think?
sorry i'm not sure about 2000 model but i do think they have something similar whether or not it's the problem i couldn't say. there could be a start sequence after disconnecting your battery tho but you would have to do research weather or not your truck has one. hope all works out
what was your security light doing when you were having troubles? Mine stays on constant. I've replaced the ignition cylinder housing (with passlock sensor) Ignition lock cylinder, ignition switch (with wiring harness) and a few used Vehicle anti theft module. I've done the re learn procedure as well. It cranks, starts, and dies. This truck is testing me big time! Any advice would greatly be appreciated
mine would crank start then die when the light was on but it would only do it hear and there i would bang on the top of the searing wheel and it would go out and start i started to look into it and this was a common fix and so far haven't had any problems since this does seem to be a common problem though and since its electrical weather this works or not is probable a crap shoot i was having problems with my starter at the same time and between changing it and this fix i xmy fingers haven't had any problem since and i had my starter checked twice and it tested good finely i changed it anyway and haven't had problems hope you figure it out i know how frustrating it can be
MINE DID THAT...HAD TO RESET KEY....(.check ignition fuse is good first)..then..TURN TO OFF THEN ON AND LEAVE 10 MINUTES...THEN OFF 30 SECONDS...THEN IT STARTS............2003 GMC SIERRA....
i have a 2007 gmc envoy that starts with remote start and not the key ... it only starts with the key when i first start the truck with the remote then shut it off and immediatly use the key ... if i wait 10 seconds after the truck is off and try with the key it wont start ... truck was fine ,,, i took it to the shop to get the ac fixed then when i got the truck back it didnt start . does any one know why it wont start with the key ???
In your first vid u said that ur truck would not start all it did was click. but n this vid u said it would start then die. I'm confused. I have a 01 gmc Sierra 1500 4X4 extended cab with the 5.3L and what mine does is when u open the door the security light flashes but when I put the key in and turn to start it then the security lights stops flashing and the battery light comes on then off after trying to start. I no my battery is good and so is my starter and fuel pump. so when I try to start it all dash lights r on fuel pump kicks on but it just clicks. the first time I tried the 10min relearn procedure and it worked it started I drove to work today and now my truck is stuck at work. I did the relearn procedure again and nothing. I repeated the procedure two more times and still nothing. hope u have input. IDK if I should try what u did n this vid cuz my truck Dnt start at all it just does the click like how u explained n the other vid. I'm curious to know what u think and curious to y u claimed two different starting issue. did u first have no crank no start then it went to start then die.
yep i had two different issues one was the starter witched checked out good then finley a little while later it checked out bad so i was having sporadic starting . then this one. now two years later i'm having trouble again and it looks to be a starter, or cam position sensor which can also cause sporadic starting issues ime working on a vid right now but it won't come out for a while i also replaced the wire going from the realy to the starter i hate electrical you could have one or more of theas going on. it does sound more like a security wire problem thow so i would start there hope all goes well .
The tiny little brown and green wire behind the part of the harness...any idea what they do or where they go? I installed a keyless entry/ignition system in my Yukon and these were the only two wires remaining in the column so I went ahead and cut them. Now my radio doesn't work. Everything else works and is hooked up correctly ONLY the radio (aftermarket) doesn't come on. Anti-theft maybe?
it worked for a couple years but has recently started to have the same trouble. i actually just bought the parts to hopeful fix it for good. i will have a vid when i can get to it hopefully soon
my truck kept sporadically not starting in the end i think it was the starter relay that was the problem go to my playlist and look for the vids i have on my gmc any one of the fixes on that could maybe be your problem thanks for watching
I have a1991 Isuzu amigo and I change all related to ignition switch but still it turns on but as soon as I let go of the key stops, if I hold the key it stays on........so where I go from here? I will take any advice,thanks.
If you changed the ignition switch then i'm not sure. it could be something in your starter . unfortunately lately i have bought new parts that were bad, it could be you got a bad switch from the parts store. I hope you are able to figure it out
@@JunkworksGarage the vibrations to a steering wheel can be rather intense sometimes while entering the vehicle and of course while driving down the road. It's a common technique when the key assembly is sticking to tap it to allow our those spring loaded pop up Tabs to go down to allow key to turn. It's the intensity of the vibration transfer on steering wheel assembly that makes that rigging precarious.
I have a kind of dum-dum adhesive sealing putty that I use for all kinds of stuff. It is sold by a company that is online called Parts Express, they sell speakers and electronics. The putty is called speaker sealing caulk, their part # for it is 269-300. This stuff is black and sticky, more adhesive than other dum-dum caulk sold for HVAC use. But it does not stick permanently, does not harden and can be removed. A little dab of this stuff pressed in the gaps all around the sides would hold that plug snug and still be removable. I just put some around the same plug on my truck to avoid future trouble. Another handy use for this stuff that I do all the time is when I have to start a hex head screw or bolt in a tight place that I can't fit my hand into. I put a dab of this putty in the edge of a socket and stick the bolt into it, then it holds the bolt while I fish it in there on the end of an extension. Hundreds of other uses for this stuff, I love it, always keep some on hand.
This was working up until today I ran into this issue again. I have to leave the key on till the antitheft light stops flashing and then off for 10 seconds and it runs what other issue could it be 03 Suburban 5.3
James Baker what did your buddys truck do? Im having issues with my truck after i crashed the front it wont start. It just starts for a second but turns off right away
Christopher Grimaldo, he didn't crash but that's exactly what it was doing. It would start but then die within 1-2 seconds. I watched another video about taking the steering wheel cover off to access the passlock sensor (think that's what it's called.) They tend to become loose and lose connection causing truck to start and then die out. After checking, the sensor attached on top of the ignition(where key goes in to start truck), I noticed it was pretty loose. I put in a small piece of plastic between the sensor and sensor mount and tried to start it. After that didn't work, I searched again and found the comment we are replying to. Once I found out the location of the TBC fuse (you facing engine from front, it was all the way in the back right corner, which may differ from yours) I could tell immediately that it was bad. It had corrosion on it and broke off a prong inside if the fuse box. As soon as I replaced it and opened the doors, the dome light came on(which I figured didn't work). Turn the key to on and the daytime running lights came on. Cranked it and she purred like a kitten. You situation could be different. I'm not sure of the protocols or anything but I thought I heard some vehicles had to be flashed by the dealer after an accident, especially with airbag deployment. I hope your injuries weren't significant. I fell from 15 ft and crushed 3 vertebrae. That'll be there forever. Anyways if you want, I took a couple of pictures and can email them to you. If so, shoot me one jbaker33 @ baker.edu. no spaces obviously tho lol. And sorry for this being so long, wanted to be thorough
OK MY TAHOE WILL TURN OVER AND START THEN CUT OUT. AFTER ABOUT 10 15 MINS. THEN IT WILL START. BUT I WILL SMELL FUMES. IT WONT DO THIS FOR ABOUT 2 OR 3 MONTHS. THEN BOOM. IT COMES BACK AGAIN...LOL IM GOING TO TRY THIS . THANK U FOR A START.
my 2000 gmc Yukon won't start it started on my lunch break but not now what can I do oh i tap the gas tank a couple of times still no idle i sound like it wants to start but wont
it could be anything from fuel pump to ignition spark sorry without more info i'm not much help i would try what is in this vid and if that doesn't work than i would look at the fuel pump
this seams to fix mine but i have had to do it a couple times now because it rattles loose and i've had several other starting problems i have more vids in my playlist
Well the problem I'm have is with a 2004 cadillac CTS. I will be going down the road and the engine will shut off for 5 seconds then turn back on. The security light come on and tells me to remove the key and put it back in and restart. But it comes back on in 5 seconds by it self. Oh it's a standard that is the reason I don't have to try to start the car.
DOES ANY ONE KNO HOW TO TAKE OFF THAT CABLE BEHING THE ONE HE SHOWING IN THE VIDEO? Im trying to take out that buzzer switch wit the white tab out of the ignition housing case bc im trying to replace it but idk how to remove the cable
if you go to my channel and go to my playlist under 98 GMC SIERRA K3500 then go to removing gmc steering wheel, lock plate,lock cylinder and plastics ,that should get you there hope this helps
Ima see if that works out woth mines, mines is a 1999 chevy tahoe and when i try to start it trys to come on but doesnt and it shows "security" when i try to turn it on.
I have a 2007 chevy tahoe on sunday i was driving the truck started up no problem went back out to go some where and the vehicle would not start the lights and on the console was working then later nothing was lighting up can't even lock the doors now put key in truck says nothing tried to jump it didn't do anything if anyone has any suggestions please let me know only vehicle I have can't get to work can somebody help
All u got to do is unplug that wire and leave loose in their ,your security light will stay light up but your truck will start I tried all the tooth pricks wire straps nothing ,just unplug it
you know whats why easier? go to the fuse box and remove the security fuse for those of you with this problem try it and let me know if it worked for you
Joey Gambino didn't work. but I found out the CMU1 is malfunctioning. no clue where to go without r placing the entire brain of this p o.s. it's a 1999 GMC Sonoma with 34k miles on it and about 3 grand worth I f work and now the computers bad. mechanic special now
i had replaced the hole harness from under the steering to under the dash before figuring this out but it is actually much easier i have found out to remove it when working on this anyway if you have the tool to take the wheel off
hi there!! ok so my 2008 chevy Silverado 1500 wouldnt start, the key wouldnt turn, was told it was the ignition switch. replaced the switch now my anti theft system is activated, key still wont turn to on position. was then told its the cylinder, however cant remove that without getting the key to turn all the way to the on position. Wjat to do now?? please help.
my mechanic broke the locks on the cylinder cause at one point my key wouldnt turn. >>be careful doing this, may cause a problem with the anti theft sensor and you'll need a new cylinder completely
Sure like to find the video where you show how to take the plastic off and the steering wheel can't find it, you have a lot of videos I can't find the one you're talking about
99 Silverado I turn the key security light comes on on the left then the battery light turns red and comes on turn the ignition and nothing happens has anyone else had this problem if so please help if you have a solution
Still got the truck? Does the Security light come on and stay on? Pretty easy fix though definitely an intimidating problem. When I had this problem I phoned several local GM dealers until I got a guy who knew what he was talking about at a dealer willing to divulge VATS code info for free. Once I had my VATS code I ordered on eBay a $28 bypass harness with a switch so some security features could be retained. Your truck my very likely simply need the VATS connector unplugged under the steering column and the new wiring harness installed in its place. If there is no connector, as there wasn't in my case, I had to cut the wire and solder the harness in. Same result and my 26 year old Cadillac is now a very reliable car! Battery light alone simply means the battery either needs charging or replacing.
@@anibaljosejimenezgutierrez4373 ime not understanding what you mean as well as far as resistance if your talking electric i didn't do any real testing i just wiggled wires
Guys I have a 2003 chevy trailblazer dash lights up but won't turn over new batt starter and the security light isn't on un less I turn the key all the way over but nothing happens no blown fuses
actually i meant crank position sensor if its not cranking at all it's a fairly easy part to replace im going to have a vid on it but it won't be for a while by it online and it's much cheaper too but it could be your switch as well but if you hear the click from your relay your switch is probably good if your not hearing the click i would start with the relay
@@JunkworksGarage mine just started having issues sometimes it’s on when driving , and the other night it was blinking anx I was stuck at Publix ( blinking no start ) so we sat there ignition on and off and on for about 20-30 min and finally started , then next day wouldn’t start so I jumped in my other car took my kids gone and when I got back , started right up.
@@JohnDoe-dh3xw i am actually working on a vid replacing this harness witch i hope to have up in the next week or too also on replacing the switch as well ether or both of these could be your problem
Hell, GM is more effective at taking away your vehicle than a thief when it comes to this issue. This is just bad design and a pain in the ass for a customer.
Junk works DIY Garage I have a 99 it’s cranking not starting, just bought it. Guy replaced plugs, wires, coil, ecm, starter. I played with the wire on the key switch and got it to crank, just wondering what it could be
@@nickdozier4368 i would definitely try replacing the crank position sensor do not buy the cheapest one from amazon go with the better one it's still cheaper than parts store
i have a 2007 cts cadillac i have problem with the service theft system.THE LIGTH IT'S ON BUT CAR TURN ON AND OFF BUT IT'S STOCK AND THE GAGE OF GAS AND THE TEMPERATURE NO WORKING CAN YOU HELP ME THANKS
i would start at the battery. make sure power is getting from there to your power distribution box. if you have power there than you would have to diagnose each circuit but that's assuming its electrical. after that you would have to have it looked at by someone. there are too many things it could be to diagnose this way
Junk works DIY Garage I just got done messing with this issue after I watched your video .two things I found out u don't need to take steering wheel off to get to that pieace just take off your panels above it in front of the gauge cluster and take out bottom panel srcews and u will have room to take the coloum covers the top only needs to come off and u are there at it . 2nd thing I was going to try the basic stick idea to hold it still but read thease comments and seen some try to unplug it and it cranked so I did it and works I don't know if this is the fix yet but I'm sick of waiting 10 mins whenever it wants to pull this no starting crap lost bouns money at work over it and waited in the heat to much so I going to leave it unplugged what u think ?
MY TRUCK WILL NOT START AS YOU TELL ME TO START IT IN YOUR 2008 COLORADO POST THEN CUT THE WIRE - BUT I HAVE NOTHING AND IT WILL NOT START BEFORE I CUT THE WIRE????????????????????????????????????????????????????? HELP ME
i don't have a post or a 08 Colorado i wouldn't tell anyone to cut any wires that are in this vid . i only do you tube and genuinely don't know how you ended up here i am sorry but the info you were given wasn't from me i would start by putting everything you cut back together if you cut any of the wires in this vid they have to do with security if they are cut or broken your truck wont start and they will have to be replaced . hope this helped
I have a 04 Blazer, security light stays on n now can't start my car. Car was bought from an auction. Thought it was spark plugs nn replaced them n wires, n the Cap. Or what ever lol I know nothing about cars. My cousins are the mechanics. They said it could be the security or alarm????
ya if the lights on it could be this problem also if you don't have the original key with a chip some cars won't start so you have to go to a dealer to get one
it could be anything from your switch to your starter i would start by checking your relays if those are good pull your starter any parts store will check it for free if that's good it could be your crank position sensor or your switch or you have a short in the wire from the relay to the starter that's everything i can think that would cause your problem good luck
@@JunkworksGarage i had this problem and fixed it very simple . mine staled then all power to blazer was gone . i found the cables to battery was very little loose so tightened and all power was back . but still security was on steady and no start . i pulled the starter relay and put back then pulled the tbc fuse seen it was good .pulled the crank fuse it was good put them back . gave up went to get my key and the security light was now flashing and blazer started and ran great . crazy but somehow it fixed it . dont just check the tbc fuse in place pull it . wait a min and put back . maybe it made the unit reset itself . also make sure doors are unlocked if open or security stays on after start then can close door or after in the car close and lock doors . i was told the crank fuse is also the ground if pulled it ha no power .somehow doing this reset the security problem or it just started working on its on . hope it dont go back out.
for a few years but I have it exposed again now I have to wiggle it by hand every now and then I will be doing another vid when I can get back to working on it .
@@JunkworksGarage my problem has been intermittent so I dont know if it is fixed unless it happens again. All other things I have read lead me to believe the only permanent fix is to have someone in tall a remote start to do the bypass I live in so cal and I cant find anyone with acceptable knoledge to fix this it's been driving me crazy. Mine was super loose I did as u did and it made the connection secure just dont want it to happen again. Was your imminent as well?
@@alaynaanddad3825 i have several vids on different starting problems iv had on my truck in my playlist on my channel the problem is gmc / Chevy's of this area have electrical issues and it could be more than one problem so i cant grantee this will work but if it worked so far it probably fixed it for now but i resonantly had to do this again because it worked loose its just part of owning old cars they always need something
that's why right off the bat i tell you to go check out my other vid to get that far and in the title i say to go check out my fix vid i have a playlist on this truck on my channel
My problem is that my cuzin took out the security box and now the car key wont turn over to turn on is there anyone that may have a answer or mabe a suggestion to my problem?
Waste of time. The connector for that wire is under the steering column and can be bypassed there with a switch for $28 on eBay if you still want to retain security features. A good GM dealer will tell you your VATS code for free.
The 2004 Chevy MALIBU/CLASSIC hesitated to start under "security" trouble mode. I did everything I was advised to do// still nothing. I called GM; they advised me to Tow the vehicle and brig it to the GM dealer. I knew that my skin was going to be peeled off from these wolves. Just before i decided to call towing Co., I changed my mine and walked maybe a mile. I stooped in liquor store and purchased 500 ML(16 ounces), aged bottle of Whisky. I went back to my car and tried to turn my engine "ON" and still did not work. I called my wife to pic me up and in mean time started "sipping on the bottle"( boy -o- boy, remember that song? 'all summer long'?). After the bottle was empty, I do not know what time was but I woke up next day morning. I called my wife And asked her: " Why in the World you did not come to pic me op on the road side"?, and she said: "Honey: I brought you home but I could not pull you out from the car and you slept like a lamb. You are in our drive way Honey. Your Engine turned On in second and you drove-up 25 miles following me home. Oh; by the way: how dare you used the Whisky to clean up the engine throttle? I started signing Alleluia. I said to her: " Honey, Your pronunciation was very close". She said: -what is wrong with my pronunciation, anyway? I said: "Honey! Throttle and throat are Two different things. I cleaned one of that for sure. And it worked." The power of 16x16 ( Once x years aged) Whisky, worked better than 1000 Engineers of GM, Chrysler and Ford all together. Please do not Drink and Drive. This was just for laughing and to make fun with the idiots of GM and it's wolves: corrupted dealers.
Thank You!!!!! I took a truck as a trade in at dealership I work at and am driving it home right now, and everything was already exposed to that wire around the steering wheel and didn't know why, and the guy who traded it in didn't tell me.. anyway it's 10:30 at night and I was stuck at a gas station until about 2 mins ago thanks to this video!!! this vid just saved the day so THANK YOU very much!!
Just found this video......THANK YOU! Just went and banged the top of the wheel and it started! So far has only cost me a fuel filter. I imagine a 1995 Tahoe would be the same steering wheel so I'll check out your other video. Thanks again so much! Cheers!
I tried so many things and what worked was banging it lol, thank so so much
THANK YOU!!!!!! Worked INSTANTLY on my ‘99 suburban!!!!!! You saved me a $100 diagnostic fee and a whole lot of headache! P.S. you don’t have to take the steering wheel etc off if you’re ok with using wire cutters to cut the lower part of the plastic column housing around the ignition drum on the right side and then prying the whole thing back from the top center of the steering wheel and off, the screw post will break but you can pop main cover right back into place.
you are correct but at the time i had torn it apart to switch the ignition wires but found out that wasn't my problem thanks
thanks this video helped me fix a car i have ben working on for 3 months
great to hear that thanks for the comment and for watching
Thanks it fixed my truck ur a life saver
Hey, great vid, I watched the tooth pick video and tried it on my 2000 Chevy 3500 truck and so far it has worked great! I also put some dialectic grease on the plug. Anyway, great vid!
Still working?
Thank you. 1999 Yukon, did this truck now running.
yes but i just had to redo it recently because the piece wigged out i pushed it back down and it started right up
EXACTLY the RIGHT Answer to the PROBLEM!!! No cutting wires or inserting resistors THIS WORKS !! THANKS!!

Thank you so much for this video. I went through such a hassle trying to figure out why mine wouldn't start. This was the problem with mine too!

when the ignition switch failed do you still get spark on ignition coil?
I've been helping an older friend with his 95' Silverado for a while now. This is his latest plague. I'm replacing the ignition switch wiring this weekend & I'll keep an eye on this plug too. Fingers crossed, thanks.
if you check out the playlist for this truck on my channel i just did vids on replacing this wire harness and ignition switch as well as several other vids. have a good one
It just happened to me and I did what you said and it worked, thank you very helpful video, congratulations

when ur vehicle wasn't starting was it a no crank start?
I just tried this on my 03 Suburban it would start and shut off with the orange antitheft flashing, my wire was definitely loose but I stuck in a piece of ziptie and it REALLY WORKED!! THANKS SO MUCH
glad i could help 👍

glad i could help thanks for the comment
Liked sub best video out there spent more than 3hrs 10min on 10 sec of rinse and repeat quick bang and right back on
I also like that it's in layman terms so anyone can do it that's what I like about it your videos are very cool
Great video ! 👍🏻
I got a uncut Chevy key can I open up a 2017 dually or any other car with it and how long do it take
it works for me. .after installing a new switch my van start having problems like 3 times a day..for 6 months. have to wait 10 minutes in till the security light stop flashing then my car turns on again..I did what I see on video. .PROBLEM SOLVED. ..THANKS. .
glad i could help thanks for the comment .
It worked. Thank you.

"PROBLEM SOLVED" after days of trouble. SPRAYED CRC "Electronic Spray" ($3 at Walmart) into my "aging ignition." (Electronic spray will not hurt the "dusty old" ignition). Unbelievable! "1998" Chevy Cavalier 2.2L engine. Chevy wanted $300 for a reset. Had it towed several times and local mechanics tried everything. Found this $3 CRC spray solution in a forum. "Security light" kept coming on. Stalled in traffic. Had to wait to start again. Looked at all the "bypass solutions" and Amazon gadgets too. When it works for you remember to share and pay-it-forward.

Have same dang issue with my 99 GMC suburban. Hope this helps.
Mine had this exact same problem (06). If it helps anyone I was able to get it going by just giving it some gas immediately after it starting but then it progressively got worse to where that was not effective anymore. Changed fuse box, repalced ignition switch, etc. Mechanic I completely trust did a lot of research and troubleshooted and just couldn't pinpoint the issue other than he thinks it was related to security system... which means probably a dealership type job. That would be stupid expensive and not worth it, and my mechanic didn't have the capabilities Chevrolet would have to get deeper into the problem. He even told me it started itself up while he was inside the shop. This shit is weird and hard to believe no one has found a definitive fix. I sold it today finally, and I hope who bought it can figure it out. Loved the vehicle, hated the issues that came with it when this happened.

What you need to do is pull the connector out and then pull each of the 3 wire connectors out of the plastic connector and tighten the tips that slide over the pins by carefully and slightly squishing the tips together. Then replace them in the plastic connector and snap it back in place.
What is that connector called someone stole my truck and pulled those cords out and I can’t get them back in the connector so I’m trying to buy a new one
@@osheafleming6764 it's part of the ignition switch wiring harness. You can buy them new or used. Then you have to do the relearn procedure. Many videos on that. Takes about an hour. Just make sure your battery is charged good.
Thank god .I hope this works for me!
👍
Good idea
EXCELLENT
thanks
I had the same issue. Did the whole ignition wire toothpick fix, but still had the issue. Then i noticed my key fob didnt work anymore. I read somewhere that the antenna signal box that located behind the instrument cluster has to be unplugged then plugged back in. Instead of doing that, i checked the TBC fuse located in the fuse box under the hoof for the box. Found out it was bad. Its located at the bottom far right. Did a continuity check. It was bad. So, i replaced it. Truck fired up with no more issues. Just have to reteach the fob.
Aloha, need some help with a 2006 chevy suburban continuity fuse? no start after engine rinse down, something with the ignition not turning on fuel pump, fuel pump is new! relay works but not from ignition to relay
Yea sir I think your right
Lena Stone nothing in dash lights up
Im having an issue with my 93 forerunner.
Starts most times, wont run on. Had everything checked. Fuel pressure coil ignition etc etc. Key start was intermittant.
Would I ever have that as it is key entry?
Anyway great video.
i am not familiar with how the security works on that rig sorry
I’m going try with mine
Does it work?
mine is working fine now
Hey Sam, quick question, I have GMC Sierra and it won't start - so it turns over and acts like it has a flat battery and then the horn blasts. Did you have the issue ? I think I have a passlock problem as well but just trying to see if this is the similar issue....
my horn didn't go off but the rest sounds the same
Bad battery
i have this same issue
Saludos amigo,hice lo que indicas en el vídeo,espero no se active el Security.
NO HABLA ESPANOL BUT GRACIAS I THINK👍
Nice job i want to have this vedio in my media
How did you remove the steering wheel? I went to the junk yard. And it the ingition switch. I also wanted to remove the whole key assembly. Oh ok I'll look at your other video.
I don't know if you'll be able to answer this for me but does this work for a 2000 Chevy Silverados to we had one that it's not starting and we thought it was a starter and then it would stay in 4-wheel so someone told him to take the positive cable off and it's been screwed up ever since it won't stay running or start what do you think?
sorry i'm not sure about 2000 model but i do think they have something similar whether or not it's the problem i couldn't say. there could be a start sequence after disconnecting your battery tho but you would have to do research weather or not your truck has one. hope all works out
@@JunkworksGarage ok thank you very much I really appreciate your help
Yes
I don’t understand how Chevy sells a product like this without anything info on how to repair or fix it
I'm curious, is it possible to swap the ignition cylinder from a 2000 truck to a 95 c1500?
ime not sure
what was your security light doing when you were having troubles? Mine stays on constant. I've replaced the ignition cylinder housing (with passlock sensor) Ignition lock cylinder, ignition switch (with wiring harness) and a few used Vehicle anti theft module. I've done the re learn procedure as well. It cranks, starts, and dies. This truck is testing me big time! Any advice would greatly be appreciated
mine would crank start then die when the light was on but it would only do it hear and there i would bang on the top of the searing wheel and it would go out and start i started to look into it and this was a common fix and so far haven't had any problems since this does seem to be a common problem though and since its electrical weather this works or not is probable a crap shoot i was having problems with my starter at the same time and between changing it and this fix i xmy fingers haven't had any problem since and i had my starter checked twice and it tested good finely i changed it anyway and haven't had problems hope you figure it out i know how frustrating it can be
Replay switch?
MINE DID THAT...HAD TO RESET KEY....(.check ignition fuse is good first)..then..TURN TO OFF THEN ON AND LEAVE 10 MINUTES...THEN OFF 30 SECONDS...THEN IT STARTS............2003 GMC SIERRA....
Fixed mine
i have a 2007 gmc envoy that starts with remote start and not the key ... it only starts with the key when i first start the truck with the remote then shut it off and immediatly use the key ... if i wait 10 seconds after the truck is off and try with the key it wont start ... truck was fine ,,, i took it to the shop to get the ac fixed then when i got the truck back it didnt start . does any one know why it wont start with the key ???
In your first vid u said that ur truck would not start all it did was click. but n this vid u said it would start then die. I'm confused. I have a 01 gmc Sierra 1500 4X4 extended cab with the 5.3L and what mine does is when u open the door the security light flashes but when I put the key in and turn to start it then the security lights stops flashing and the battery light comes on then off after trying to start. I no my battery is good and so is my starter and fuel pump. so when I try to start it all dash lights r on fuel pump kicks on but it just clicks. the first time I tried the 10min relearn procedure and it worked it started I drove to work today and now my truck is stuck at work. I did the relearn procedure again and nothing. I repeated the procedure two more times and still nothing. hope u have input. IDK if I should try what u did n this vid cuz my truck Dnt start at all it just does the click like how u explained n the other vid. I'm curious to know what u think and curious to y u claimed two different starting issue. did u first have no crank no start then it went to start then die.
yep i had two different issues one was the starter witched checked out good then finley a little while later it checked out bad so i was having sporadic starting . then this one. now two years later i'm having trouble again and it looks to be a starter, or cam position sensor which can also cause sporadic starting issues ime working on a vid right now but it won't come out for a while i also replaced the wire going from the realy to the starter i hate electrical you could have one or more of theas going on. it does sound more like a security wire problem thow so i would start there hope all goes well .
ok thanks for the input. good luck to u
The tiny little brown and green wire behind the part of the harness...any idea what they do or where they go? I installed a keyless entry/ignition system in my Yukon and these were the only two wires remaining in the column so I went ahead and cut them. Now my radio doesn't work. Everything else works and is hooked up correctly ONLY the radio (aftermarket) doesn't come on. Anti-theft maybe?
not sure it might be a switched power wire leading to the fuse that runs to your radio
Just curious if this was a successful long term fix for the start then stall with security light turning on ?
it worked for a couple years but has recently started to have the same trouble. i actually just bought the parts to hopeful fix it for good. i will have a vid when i can get to it hopefully soon
Did you happen to scan it first? Just wondering if there were any codes on the scanner. My 03 sierra cranks but won't start.
i didn't but i didn't have any check engine light just the security light flashing
im dealing with the same problem did it fix your problem?
my truck kept sporadically not starting in the end i think it was the starter relay that was the problem go to my playlist and look for the vids i have on my gmc any one of the fixes on that could maybe be your problem thanks for watching
I just replaced the whole ignition switch right Before this about 2 months ago
I have a1991 Isuzu amigo and I change all related to ignition switch but still it turns on but as soon as I let go of the key stops, if I hold the key it stays on........so where I go from here? I will take any advice,thanks.
If you changed the ignition switch then i'm not sure. it could be something in your starter . unfortunately lately i have bought new parts that were bad, it could be you got a bad switch from the parts store. I hope you are able to figure it out
I wonder if it's possible also to put some kind of super glue there carefully
ive bean thinking of doing that
@@JunkworksGarage the vibrations to a steering wheel can be rather intense sometimes while entering the vehicle and of course while driving down the road. It's a common technique when the key assembly is sticking to tap it to allow our those spring loaded pop up Tabs to go down to allow key to turn. It's the intensity of the vibration transfer on steering wheel assembly that makes that rigging precarious.
I have a kind of dum-dum adhesive sealing putty that I use for all kinds of stuff. It is sold by a company that is online called Parts Express, they sell speakers and electronics. The putty is called speaker sealing caulk, their part # for it is 269-300. This stuff is black and sticky, more adhesive than other dum-dum caulk sold for HVAC use. But it does not stick permanently, does not harden and can be removed. A little dab of this stuff pressed in the gaps all around the sides would hold that plug snug and still be removable. I just put some around the same plug on my truck to avoid future trouble. Another handy use for this stuff that I do all the time is when I have to start a hex head screw or bolt in a tight place that I can't fit my hand into. I put a dab of this putty in the edge of a socket and stick the bolt into it, then it holds the bolt while I fish it in there on the end of an extension. Hundreds of other uses for this stuff, I love it, always keep some on hand.
This was working up until today I ran into this issue again. I have to leave the key on till the antitheft light stops flashing and then off for 10 seconds and it runs what other issue could it be 03 Suburban 5.3
sorry not sure hopefully a viewer might have a solve
check the TBC fuse under hood.. just fixed mine
Lawrence Mossor thank u so much man its been like a week of me buying and replacing parts just to find out its that fuse so thanks
James Baker what did your buddys truck do? Im having issues with my truck after i crashed the front it wont start. It just starts for a second but turns off right away
Christopher Grimaldo, he didn't crash but that's exactly what it was doing. It would start but then die within 1-2 seconds. I watched another video about taking the steering wheel cover off to access the passlock sensor (think that's what it's called.) They tend to become loose and lose connection causing truck to start and then die out. After checking, the sensor attached on top of the ignition(where key goes in to start truck), I noticed it was pretty loose. I put in a small piece of plastic between the sensor and sensor mount and tried to start it. After that didn't work, I searched again and found the comment we are replying to. Once I found out the location of the TBC fuse (you facing engine from front, it was all the way in the back right corner, which may differ from yours) I could tell immediately that it was bad. It had corrosion on it and broke off a prong inside if the fuse box. As soon as I replaced it and opened the doors, the dome light came on(which I figured didn't work). Turn the key to on and the daytime running lights came on. Cranked it and she purred like a kitten.
You situation could be different. I'm not sure of the protocols or anything but I thought I heard some vehicles had to be flashed by the dealer after an accident, especially with airbag deployment. I hope your injuries weren't significant. I fell from 15 ft and crushed 3 vertebrae. That'll be there forever. Anyways if you want, I took a couple of pictures and can email them to you. If so, shoot me one jbaker33 @ baker.edu. no spaces obviously tho lol. And sorry for this being so long, wanted to be thorough
Christopher Grimaldo you ever figure out what it is? currently trying to rebuild my dads old wrecked 96 in my free time
Did your hvac actuators get all messed up by disconnecting the battery too?
no
Gracias
👍
OK MY TAHOE WILL TURN OVER AND START THEN CUT OUT. AFTER ABOUT 10 15 MINS. THEN IT WILL START. BUT I WILL SMELL FUMES. IT WONT DO THIS FOR ABOUT 2 OR 3 MONTHS. THEN BOOM. IT COMES BACK AGAIN...LOL IM GOING TO TRY THIS . THANK U FOR A START.
hope it helps.
I'd love to just bypass security and be done
my 2000 gmc Yukon won't start it started on my lunch break but not now what can I do oh i tap the gas tank a couple of times still no idle i sound like it wants to start but wont
it could be anything from fuel pump to ignition spark sorry without more info
i'm not much help i would try what is in this vid and if that doesn't work than i would look at the fuel pump
It acts like it want to start but it don't I will soon replace the feul pump I will keep you updated
I just watched another video where the guy talks about the plug wiggling the entire video then he doesn't say if it fixed it.
this seams to fix mine but i have had to do it a couple times now because it rattles loose and i've had several other starting problems i have more vids in my playlist
Well the problem I'm have is with a 2004 cadillac CTS. I will be going down the road and the engine will shut off for 5 seconds then turn back on. The security light come on and tells me to remove the key and put it back in and restart. But it comes back on in 5 seconds by it self. Oh it's a standard that is the reason I don't have to try to start the car.
DOES ANY ONE KNO HOW TO TAKE OFF THAT CABLE BEHING THE ONE HE SHOWING IN THE VIDEO? Im trying to take out that buzzer switch wit the white tab out of the ignition housing case bc im trying to replace it but idk how to remove the cable
i cant find the other video ypu mentioned about how to remove the steering wheel
if you go to my channel and go to my playlist under 98 GMC SIERRA K3500
then go to removing gmc steering wheel, lock plate,lock cylinder and plastics ,that should get you there hope this helps
Ima see if that works out woth mines, mines is a 1999 chevy tahoe and when i try to start it trys to come on but doesnt and it shows "security" when i try to turn it on.
the 99 will probably have an air bag so be careful and disconnect your battery
alright thanks :)
Junk works DIY Garage dude i had the same problem ur a good mad thanks for all ur help
I have a 2007 chevy tahoe on sunday i was driving the truck started up no problem went back out to go some where and the vehicle would not start the lights and on the console was working then later nothing was lighting up can't even lock the doors now put key in truck says nothing tried to jump it didn't do anything if anyone has any suggestions please let me know only vehicle I have can't get to work can somebody help
this could be a myriad of things but if it's not a bad battery i would start with the wire that goes from the battery to your relay box under the hood
No needs eaither ignition module under dis cap or Tha lil plastic pieace under cap which pulls right off
a change my steering column now my security on.. but went off now it wint start.... oh yea column came with key also....
not sure what the question is you want an answer to
Why won’t it start same problem here
And a fuse can also cause that.
Which video shows steering wheel removal
Go to my channel, then to playlists, then to obs gmc/chevy playlist, there is a vid that says steering wheel removal 👍
I’m gonna use a little better fix than the zip tie but thanks anyway I was about to blow some money 😅😅
I have since replaced the harness its on my playlist for this truck 👍
All u got to do is unplug that wire and leave loose in their ,your security light will stay light up but your truck will start I tried all the tooth pricks wire straps nothing ,just unplug it
i tried it it didn't work on mine
you know whats why easier? go to the fuse box and remove the security fuse for those of you with this problem try it and let me know if it worked for you
my truck is fixed but if i have the problem again i will check it out thanks
okay. remove and put it back in . it will reset the security system
CHINO did this work
Joey Gambino didn't work. but I found out the CMU1 is malfunctioning. no clue where to go without r placing the entire brain of this p o.s. it's a 1999 GMC Sonoma with 34k miles on it and about 3 grand worth I f work and now the computers bad. mechanic special now
Joey Gambino how
Why did n u take the steering wheel off?
i had replaced the hole harness from under the steering to under the dash before figuring this out
but it is actually much easier i have found out to remove it when working on this anyway if you have the tool to take the wheel off
hi there!! ok so my 2008 chevy Silverado 1500 wouldnt start, the key wouldnt turn, was told it was the ignition switch. replaced the switch now my anti theft system is activated, key still wont turn to on position. was then told its the cylinder, however cant remove that without getting the key to turn all the way to the on position. Wjat to do now?? please help.
sorry i don't have a good answer other than if you try to drill it out you might be able to turn it enough to get the cylinder out
Jiggle the shit out of it, the pin is probably stuck.
I tried everything on CZcams ended up drilling it out
my mechanic broke the locks on the cylinder cause at one point my key wouldnt turn.
>>be careful doing this, may cause a problem with the anti theft sensor and you'll need a new cylinder completely
You can buy a security bypass harness that goes under the steering colum
I put the plastic in so it doesn’t wiggle but it still does the same thing after a day or 2. What’s next?
i'm not sure i have been told that its the ignition switch that's my next plan
can i get video how too get too that ignition
i have one on my channel it shows everything to this point
go to my playlist and go to 98 gmc k3500 playlist it has all my vids for my truck

arage
Sure like to find the video where you show how to take the plastic off and the steering wheel can't find it, you have a lot of videos I can't find the one you're talking about
go to my channel look in the playlists and go to my 98 gmc/chevy k3500 and go to the one that i remove the steering wheel
99 Silverado I turn the key security light comes on on the left then the battery light turns red and comes on turn the ignition and nothing happens has anyone else had this problem if so please help if you have a solution
Still got the truck? Does the Security light come on and stay on? Pretty easy fix though definitely an intimidating problem. When I had this problem I phoned several local GM dealers until I got a guy who knew what he was talking about at a dealer willing to divulge VATS code info for free. Once I had my VATS code I ordered on eBay a $28 bypass harness with a switch so some security features could be retained. Your truck my very likely simply need the VATS connector unplugged under the steering column and the new wiring harness installed in its place. If there is no connector, as there wasn't in my case, I had to cut the wire and solder the harness in. Same result and my 26 year old Cadillac is now a very reliable car! Battery light alone simply means the battery either needs charging or replacing.

i was pretty soft with it
Ok I do not understand you. Could you tell me what resistance you used?
@@anibaljosejimenezgutierrez4373 ime not understanding what you mean as well as far as resistance if your talking electric i didn't do any real testing i just wiggled wires
Guys I have a 2003 chevy trailblazer dash lights up but won't turn over new batt starter and the security light isn't on un less I turn the key all the way over but nothing happens no blown fuses
have you checked your relay if its not that i would check your cam position sensor hope you get the answer you need good luck
Junk works DIY Garage do you mean the key switch cam
actually i meant crank position sensor if its not cranking at all it's a fairly easy part to replace im going to have a vid on it but it won't be for a while by it online and it's much cheaper too but it could be your switch as well but if you hear the click from your relay your switch is probably good if your not hearing the click i would start with the relay
Junk works DIY Garage all fixed it was the key switch garage told me they replaced it losing bastards
Was your security light blinking as well?
yes
@@JunkworksGarage mine just started having issues sometimes it’s on when driving , and the other night it was blinking anx I was stuck at Publix ( blinking no start ) so we sat there ignition on and off and on for about 20-30 min and finally started , then next day wouldn’t start so I jumped in my other car took my kids gone and when I got back , started right up.

GM shouldn't make these things complicated... do it simplified...
unfortunately there are so many safety regulations everything is more complicated than it has to be
Kerop Baljian then be easier to steal your car, reason this is made complicated
Hell, GM is more effective at taking away your vehicle than a thief when it comes to this issue. This is just bad design and a pain in the ass for a customer.

Hi dear , i want u to fixe my car GMC envoy 2005
HAYI HAVE GMC 2000 k3500 have completely lost power no lights no nothing power to starter.how can I fix please and thank u
i would start at the battery. make sure power is getting from there to your power distribution box. if you have power there than you would have to diagnose each circuit but that's assuming its electrical. after that you would have to have it looked at by someone. there are too many things it could be to diagnose this way
I have mine completely unplugged and starts right up and runs
i tried it didn't work on mine i've heard there's a work around but i haven't had a chance to look into it
Junk works DIY Garage I just got done messing with this issue after I watched your video .two things I found out u don't need to take steering wheel off to get to that pieace just take off your panels above it in front of the gauge cluster and take out bottom panel srcews and u will have room to take the coloum covers the top only needs to come off and u are there at it . 2nd thing I was going to try the basic stick idea to hold it still but read thease comments and seen some try to unplug it and it cranked so I did it and works I don't know if this is the fix yet but I'm sick of waiting 10 mins whenever it wants to pull this no starting crap lost bouns money at work over it and waited in the heat to much so I going to leave it unplugged what u think ?
Greg Lowell is yours still running with it unplugged I unplugged mine and it's cranking so far
My orange wire was not connected in the other end ??
if your having a problem i would start there that's probably it. but did it burn or break? of its burnt you have a deeper problem.
MY TRUCK WILL NOT START AS YOU TELL ME TO START IT IN YOUR 2008 COLORADO POST THEN CUT THE WIRE - BUT I HAVE NOTHING AND IT WILL NOT START BEFORE I CUT THE WIRE????????????????????????????????????????????????????? HELP ME
i don't have a post or a 08 Colorado i wouldn't tell anyone to cut any wires that are in this vid . i only do you tube and genuinely don't know how you ended up here i am sorry but the info you were given wasn't from me i would start by putting everything you cut back together if you cut any of the wires in this vid they have to do with security if they are cut or broken your truck wont start and they will have to be replaced . hope this helped
I have a 04 Blazer, security light stays on n now can't start my car. Car was bought from an auction. Thought it was spark plugs nn replaced them n wires, n the Cap. Or what ever lol I know nothing about cars. My cousins are the mechanics. They said it could be the security or alarm????
ya if the lights on it could be this problem also if you don't have the original key with a chip some cars won't start so you have to go to a dealer to get one
Junk works DIY Garage I've had the car for a couple months now!!! Same key. The security light been on the whole time I had this...
it could be anything from your switch to your starter i would start by checking your relays if those are good pull your starter any parts store will check it for free if that's good it could be your crank position sensor or your switch or you have a short in the wire from the relay to the starter that's everything i can think that would cause your problem good luck
Junk works DIY Garage thanks, hopefully I'll have it figured out soon. Thanks allot!!
@@JunkworksGarage i had this problem and fixed it very simple . mine staled then all power to blazer was gone . i found the cables to battery was very little loose so tightened and all power was back . but still security was on steady and no start . i pulled the starter relay and put back then pulled the tbc fuse seen it was good .pulled the crank fuse it was good put them back . gave up went to get my key and the security light was now flashing and blazer started and ran great . crazy but somehow it fixed it . dont just check the tbc fuse in place pull it . wait a min and put back . maybe it made the unit reset itself . also make sure doors are unlocked if open or security stays on after start then can close door or after in the car close and lock doors . i was told the crank fuse is also the ground if pulled it ha no power .somehow doing this reset the security problem or it just started working on its on . hope it dont go back out.
did that fix it?
for a few years but I have it exposed again now I have to wiggle it by hand every now and then I will be doing another vid when I can get back to working on it .
Was this a permanent fix or did u end up having to change passlock senor or ignition cylinder
this so far has worked but recently i had to do it again because it worked loose but its still working
@@JunkworksGarage my problem has been intermittent so I dont know if it is fixed unless it happens again. All other things I have read lead me to believe the only permanent fix is to have someone in tall a remote start to do the bypass I live in so cal and I cant find anyone with acceptable knoledge to fix this it's been driving me crazy. Mine was super loose I did as u did and it made the connection secure just dont want it to happen again. Was your imminent as well?
@@alaynaanddad3825 i have several vids on different starting problems iv had on my truck in my playlist on my channel the problem is gmc / Chevy's of this area have electrical issues and it could be more than one problem so i cant grantee this will work but if it worked so far it probably fixed it for now but i resonantly had to do this again because it worked loose its just part of owning old cars they always need something
Fix it properly
Nothing like showing just the middle part of what you're doing not from the beginning to end and verifying it would actually start and stay running
that's why right off the bat i tell you to go check out my other vid to get that far and in the title i say to go check out my fix vid i have a playlist on this truck on my channel
Кто бы мог подумать ? 👍
My problem is that my cuzin took out the security box and now the car key wont turn over to turn on is there anyone that may have a answer or mabe a suggestion to my problem?
Get a different cuzin.
Waste of time. The connector for that wire is under the steering column and can be bypassed there with a switch for $28 on eBay if you still want to retain security features. A good GM dealer will tell you your VATS code for free.
This is NOT a VATS system though so that won't work.
Can you send !e a link?
There just as tought
The 2004 Chevy MALIBU/CLASSIC hesitated to start under "security" trouble mode. I did everything I was advised to do// still nothing. I called GM; they advised me to Tow the vehicle and brig it to the GM dealer. I knew that my skin was going to be peeled off from these wolves. Just before i decided to call towing Co., I changed my mine and walked maybe a mile. I stooped in liquor store and purchased 500 ML(16 ounces), aged bottle of Whisky. I went back to my car and tried to turn my engine "ON" and still did not work. I called my wife to pic me up and in mean time started "sipping on the bottle"( boy -o- boy, remember that song? 'all summer long'?).
After the bottle was empty, I do not know what time was but I woke up next day morning. I called my wife And asked her: " Why in the World you did not come to pic me op on the road side"?, and she said: "Honey: I brought you home but I could not pull you out from the car and you slept like a lamb. You are in our drive way Honey. Your Engine turned On in second and you drove-up 25 miles following me home. Oh; by the way: how dare you used the Whisky to clean up the engine throttle? I started signing Alleluia. I said to her: " Honey, Your pronunciation was very close". She said: -what is wrong with my pronunciation, anyway? I said: "Honey! Throttle and throat are Two different things. I cleaned one of that for sure. And it worked." The power of 16x16 ( Once x years aged) Whisky, worked better than 1000 Engineers of GM, Chrysler and Ford all together.
Please do not Drink and Drive. This was just for laughing and to make fun with the idiots of GM and it's wolves: corrupted dealers.
