Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / June 200698 malibu no start
i have a 98 malibu 3.1 v6 with 115000 miles i had been havin trouble startin my car up because the theft system light kept coming on and now my car wont start at all just keeps cranking, anyone know how to disable the theft system??? or any solution to this thanx if the theft light is flashing, turn the key to on position for 10 minutes or so until the theft light stops flashing, turn key to off position, and restart car, if that doesn't work, maybe your key is bad, do you have a key with a chip on it? > i have a 98 malibu 3.1 v6 with 115000 miles > i had been havin trouble startin my car up because the theft system light > kept coming on and now my car wont start at all just keeps cranking, > anyone know how to disable the theft system??? or any solution to this > thanx >> i have a 98 malibu 3.1 v6 with 115000 miles >> i had been havin trouble startin my car up because the theft system light [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >position, and restart car, if that doesn't work, maybe your key is bad, >do you have a key with a chip on it? Wrong advice you bozo. Do NOT turn the key to on position for 10 minutes, that will only drain your battery. Instead, take the key out until the theft light stops flashing, then try again. If the problem occurs again and again, it could either be the chip in your key has gone bad, or the sensor in the ignition has gone bad. Either of these requires contacting a Chevy dealer to fix. I have done this way dozens of times without drainging my battery. This is a way to reset the anti theft system, if you take the key out, it won't reset teh system, do a search for it, trust me on this subject, I have a 2001 with the anti theft system activating. So abe, your the bozo. > >> i have a 98 malibu 3.1 v6 with 115000 miles > >> i had been havin trouble startin my car up because the theft system light [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > gone bad, or the sensor in the ignition has gone bad.

The starter would not engage if the theft-system was preventing the car from starting. It disables the starter and all you'd be allowed to do is turn the key and not hear anything from the engine. > >> i have a 98 malibu 3.1 v6 with 115000 miles > >> i had been havin trouble startin my car up because the theft system [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > was preventing the car from starting.

Because I do. >> > >> i have a 98 malibu 3.1 v6 with 115000 miles >> > >> i had been havin trouble startin my car up because the theft [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > to who ever disagrees, do you even own a malibu or a gm car with > passlock II? Because I do. well I've had this problem with my 99 Monte Carlo, and the starter does not engage. I'd turn the key, and it doesn't do anything except flash idiot lights at you on the dash board. I also asked about a problem I was having with my car and no one responded. think someone can help? not sure about MC, but the malibu's starter does engage. Have you tried the key trick or does that work for you. thanks ace!, i did the 10 minute key trick and it turned on. im gonna disconnect the passlock connection on da ignition switch and tomorrow im gonna put a toggle switch on it. thanks a lot guys thanks ace!, i did the 10 minute key trick and it turned on. im gonna disconnect the passlock connection on da ignition switch and tomorrow im gonna put a toggle switch on it. thanks a lot guys did it drain your battery, [end sarcaism.] > thanks ace!, i did the 10 minute key trick and it turned on. im gonna > disconnect the passlock connection on da ignition switch and tomorrow im > gonna put a toggle switch on it. thanks a lot guys lol no it didnt drain my battery >i have a 98 malibu 3.1 v6 with 115000 miles >i had been havin trouble startin my car up because the theft system light >kept coming on and now my car wont start at all just keeps cranking, >anyone know how to disable the theft system??? or any solution to this >thanx all you have to do is disconnect everything from the battery and dont short cut it EVERYTHING. wait a few seconds then plug it back up then start up the car it should work fine. the same thing happened to me |
