Your car won’t start? SECURITY light steady lit or flashing? More then likely it is the Vehicle Anti Theft System (V.A.T.S) at fault. Over time the resister …

Great explanation! Resourceful fellow, my kind of guy!
hey yoshi. this vid was very informational. i have a 1999 deville northstar
annivarsary edition. problem i dont know which orange wire to splice . i
see two thin orange wires . can you please give me an idea of which one
All I can say is you are a lifesaver. Got an estimate that ranged as high
as $1000. Went to Radio Shack both a 4.7K, 3.3K and a 1K resistor, soldered
them together and it started like a charm. Many thanks. Hope you got your
beer the next day. I’m drinking one to you now!
Hey yoshi, I have a 00 camaro v6, I tried the bypass and It worked. The
security light turned off but my car still won’t start? Any ideas?
this dude really doesnt like air bags lol
GET THA HECK OUT OF Here! I Had that problem with my 1998 pontiac
bonneville and that crap drove me crazy and just by luck it was that damn
pellet on the key and it cost me $45 to get another key done. But my
question is would this work on my car
get to the fucking point no reason why this video should be 18 minutes long
dip shit!!!
THANK you. Fuck VATS. I actually broke my key off in my 96 Camaro on
accident and the security decided not to let me start my car
red nick bob villa, haha.. this guy has common sense. sense enough to reach
all types of audiences.. dudes good.. i hope i can figure out my 1998
oldsmobile intrigue. the security light comes off but it comes back on ..
it don’t turn over at all. i thought it was the starter.. took it to
autozone, got it tested and they said it passed but it looked funny, or
something.. dude didn’t know much.. i had this security thing in the back
of my mind and it starts all over again.
you are the man for making this video. thanks
It only says Saturn on it with the logo on it, thats it,
Good video but not quite what I am looking for. The chipped keys to a 2000
Ford excursion where lost in a barn fire last night, we managed to retrieve
one of the keys from the ruble however the chip is fried so we have no way
to get a new key. If any one can tell me how to remove or bypass the system
without a chip please let me know, you may save us thousands from an
already $100,000 loss.
I have a 98 deville and my dash says theft system problem. However I do not
get the security light. All of the gears just flash and the engine wont
turn over to start it. When i got a replacement key at the dealership the
guy said it may not be the key it could quite possibly be the cylinder.
That plus a new key would be about $100+ which isnt much but im unsure if i
should try your awesome bypass workaround or just buy and install the new
part. Any recommendations? Please help..
We have a 95 Chevy caprice that the passkey light flashes and neither key
will work. Do you know the wire colors for this car?
I have an 89 Eldorado. && This happened to me two months ago. && I lost my
job. So first I did as the car said, hoping that it would work after the 3
minute wait, it didnt. I tried several times. So I figured if I unplugged
the battery for an hour, it would reset the computer. Nothing, same thing.
I was pissed.!!!! I just replaced the power steering pump in the car. I got
one question, whered you get the wires you connected to the resistor.? Can
I use speaker wire.?
Hey Yoshi. I have to get to the beer store, but my 2000 Buick Regal have
same problem. I removed everything, but wires are not the same. Can you
help me out? Which wires do I have to use? Thank you.
hey YOSHICLAN i just say thanks a lot !!!, i save a couple hundred dollars
with your help, this works for me on the on the very first time i try, and
now i am on may to the beer store, MUCHAS GRACIAS, SEñOR.
today please
yup
I want to thank you, we suddenly had this issue with our Deville & by
coincidence was across from a GM service center when it happened. They
quoted 466.00 with the possibility of 60.00 off if they did not have to
reset the keys (which they thought would be unlikely, because usually they
would need new keys also). After searching passkey,I found your video. My
Mr. was able to get our car going in seconds. Sadly we had to pay for
diagnostics at the GM dealer but that was all we had to pay for.
Well if the security light stays out there may not be an issue with your
anti theft. Your starter motor might be gone or the park/neutral safety
switch might be at fault. I would start with that first then if that gets
you nowhere take a dive into the theft system by starting off with turning
the key on then off and wait 3-5 minutes. If that doesn’t work you can
by-pass the theft system the way I did in the video… And if that doesn’t
work… Contact me, Ill try and help you out the best I can!
90% of the time , the wires to the ign cylinder have broken ( they are very
small gauge and break over time ) . A replacement cylinder can be bought
for less than 60$ , read the resistor chip value on the existing key , get
new keys of same value and cut to the key provided with the cylinder and
install the cylinder. A lock smith will do this for under 200$
I’m glad this video helped you. Keep that Buick on the road!
Also if i use your method would the wire be orange the same as yours?
ok i have a 94 firebird trans am, just bought a brand new motor and a
wiring harness for the whole car, everythang is ran right, and it still
wont start….i have no idea what the hell is wrong with it
U r a trip. I have a 99 olds intrigue n I have d same problem with d
security alarm system. I’m just going to hook up d ignition straight to d
battery…
Yours due to the fact your car is nearly a decade newer then mine, your
conduit wire that comes from the steering column to the module may be
black, but the style of the conduit is still the same and still contains
two white wires inside.
Had to stay in my 2000 Impala for a while last night so I just left the key
in the “on” position. The security light was on but I didn’t pay attention
to it. Then the car wouldn’t start, but the security light was no longer
on. Left it for the night and it still won’t turn on today. What do you
think I should do?
Thanks I appreciate it.
I have a 1995 ford f150 I bought that had been sitting a couple of years,
the battery was dead when I bought it. After I bought it I put a battery in
it I noticed that when I open the drivers door the theft light flashes, if
I turn the key to on the engine will not turn over and the theft light
stays on, if I shift the truck into neutral and turn the key the starter
activates but the motor will not start.
god bless ontario.
