TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO ACC FOR 11 MINS. TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO ACC FOR 11 MINS. IT TAKES ABOUT 33 MINS TO COMPLETE P.S. DO NOT TURN THE CAR ON ALL THE WAY JUST TO THE ACC WHEN TRYING TO RESET . AFTER THE 33 MINS IT'S OK TO START. YOU JUST RESET THE SECURITY SYSTEM........... |

I have the same problem with my 2001 Chevy Cavalier. I followed all of the steps including the wire cuts with no success. My car is still locked. Can anyone help me?

Replying to: sig54 (Apr 30, 2007 2:34 pm) Here's my fix, or workaround, turn the key to the point where the dashboard lights up with all the different icons and you can open the automatic windows, but do not start the car. Put the car in Neutral, then turn the key the rest of the way to start the car. This method has worked every single time for me. I was told by the dealship that the ignition block or whatever it's called needs to be replaced, cost somewhere between $450-$500. I'm cheap, so this method will have to do for now. Don't ask me how I figured this out, I was just very frustrated one day and decided to try something different. Like alot of you out there, my car would choose not start at the worst times (when I was running late to be somewhere, at the gas station with other cars waiting behind me, etc.) It has been 6 months since my discovery and I couldn't be happier, just knowing that my car will definitely start everytime out. If not try this. 1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged. 2.Start engine 3. The vehicle will start and then stall. Leave the ignition ON until the security tell tale turns OFF in 10 minutes. 4. Repeat Steps for 2 more times (3 times total) 30 minutes total 5. The Passlock™ controller will learn the new data on the next start attempt. Then unplug the 3 wire connector at the ignition switch with engine running.

Please forgive me I know little about cars but I am relaying what I have been told.... The manufacture installed anti-theft system wont allow my car to start. This doesnt happen all of the time. It starts about 80% of the time, some days worse than others, when it wont start, I wait 10 minutes and it starts right up, never fails! will not start if I dont wait 10 minutes. sometimes happens 4 or 5 times a day sometimes wont happen for two or three days. I also have an aftermarket Viper remote starter. The problem doesnt change if I do not use the remotes and switch to using only the keys. PLEASE HELP!!!
