1999 buick lesabre security light stays on car wont crank
Hello sthomasbf
This sounds like it may be a problem with the passII security sys.
First check the two fuses in the fuse block, #1A and #2E the block is
located under the left side of dash. They may be marked as vehicle anti
theft system(vats)#1A. Fuse #2E may be marked vats/air bags.If these
are good, locate the anti theft relay located above the fuse block.
There will be a yellow wire and a purple wire on each side of the relay,
you wan't to jump the yel wire(A2) to the ppl wire(C1) one of the yellow
wires will run from the relay back up the steering colum. This wire is C1
the ppl wire on the other side of the relay is A2 jump these two wires
and this will bypass the relay. If the car still won't start the problem is
most likely in the colum, either the chip in the key or the resistor in
the ign. lock. You can start the car by locating the purple wire under
the hood in the harness with the blk plastic cover, that runs accross the
firewall. In the same bundle of wires there should be a slightly thicker
red wire, with the key in the on pos. take a sharp knife and cut into
the 2 wires at the same time to make a connection. This will turn the
starter and start the car. If you need to take it to get the key and lock
checked. Hope this helps.

how do u change a thermostat in a 99 buick la sabre, there is only cold heat coming out of the heater
The thermostat is used to control the flow of engine coolant. When
the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed to prevent coolant from
circulating through the engine. As the engine begins to warm up, the
thermostat opens to allow the coolant to flow through the radiator and
cool the engine to its normal operating temperature. Fuel economy and
engine durability is increased when operated at normal operating
temperature.
Fig. 8: Exploded view of the thermostat and housing assembly - 3.8L (VIN C) engine
Fig. 9: Thermostat and water outlet mounting - 3.8L (VIN L) engine shown
Fig. 10: Exploded view of the thermostat, gasket and housing assembly - 1997 vehicle shown
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when
hot; the system is under pressure and will release scalding hot coolant
and steam which can cause severe burns and other bodily harm. Also, when
draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted
to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an
uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal
in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable
container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is
several years old.

security light flashing. car won't crank. how do i reset where car will run?
It's when the security light starts flashing that the infamous "chip" in the key becomes a nightmare to many. Gradually the car begins not cranking anymore or if it cranks it would start and die in a second. Randomly it will do this more and more often until it won't start anymore. VATS, PASSkey and Passlock immobilizer systems are killing cars all over North America, they have a short lifespan and are certainly more effective against owners than thieves. Here is how you save your car
1st trick, (if not starting) turn the key forward 2 clicks till right before it would normally start, leave like that for 10 minutes. ( no less ) After 10 minutes, turn key back then forward and your car might start. I did this in my regal for more than a year. If its shutting down while running, im sorry i have no quick fix... If anything on this page helps you, please remember to comment or give me a thumbs up on the myfixya sight so i can have a better rating to help more people on this. You can also Chat with me now as i have moved up in the myfixya world. Thanks
Cheap fix: Bypass the chip in your key. Temporary, but effective. Until the TDM (theft deterrent module) in the dash poops out, then you're kinda screwed. I was told that these types of key security systems have a 7-10 year life span. Sucks for us. This link explains the "Key Issue" pretty well.
----- http://vats.likeabigdog.com/
Never worry again fix: Bypass the whole VATS/Passlock/passkey I or passkey II system entirely. Literally take it out, and throw it away. I just did this in my Regal. Took about an hour. Took longer to find the thing than it did to fix the problem. They sell a unit for 200 bucks to totally bypass this system FOREVER. life time-money back and all that. Finally did this in my car. Well worth the 200 if you've looked into getting this replaced... Anywhere from 600-1000 bucks. If you do buy this, please purchase it thru this link. The cost is the same, but i get credit for the sale and im trying to earn my money back, as you will be able to do if you buy fron NewRockies and join the free affiliate program. Thanks

----- With this fix, you can take that whole Vats, passlock, passkey **** system out of your car all together. Good info on both sites.
It works for:
Any GM or Isuzu Vehicle with VATS or PASSKey or PASSLock security systems.
If your car has the chip in the key or in the lock cylinder, then you can save it with this Full Bypass.
