You may wanna try this: > "Set the ignition key switch to accessory--the electronics are ON in the car; then remove the negative terminal from the car battery for a few minutes.

Battery shops plug a 12 volt source into the lighter socket while swapping out the battery. Prevents codes from being lost. > I have 1996 Cavalier bought 2nd hand,never used or had code for thief > lock > Changed battery and thief lock activated and now cannot start car > Any suggestions? GM doesn't have anything on that car that would prevent it from starting just because you swapped the battery. Does it have an aftermarket alarm/anti-theft system? Do you get a flashing "security" light when you attempt to start it? |
