How can I bypass a anti auto theft system on my 1990 cadillac seville?

I drive a cadillac seville 1990.I put my key in the ignition and the car turned on but the engine wouldn't start. It said anti theft system remove key and wait 3 minutes.I did and tried again it said again anti theft system wait 3 minutes.How can I cut the anti theft system off so I can drive my car? I went to the passenger door and put the key in, I locked and unlocked it 4 times then I put the key in the ignition and it started.I drove around and took the key out and tried to restart it.The driver's information system said "wait 3 minutes due to anti theft system"

    Car was working great then one day it just would not start. Good mechanic put it on tester and it was saying the wait three minutes thing too. Was to do with anti-theft. Had to replace switch and have a new key coded. Was about $80 for those two things. Still has issues will start very good, then if I take the key out and put it right back in will not start. There are two little wires that run from the ignition switch down into the steering column one of those was broken. Is there anyway at all to shut this feature off? Don't think they had quite perfected the anti-theft computers in 1990!!!

    My car did this exact thing to me tonight.
    I left it parked at work, and will return tomorrow.
    it seems as if i need to locate these 2 wires in the steering column. or something?
    whats ur best suggestion?

I Have A Seville 1990, When That Happen To Me I Got The Inginion
Replaced Problem Solved. What Is Happening Is Your Key Has A Chip And That Chip Is A Resister And When The Valve Is Not Sented To The Computer It Disengages the Fuel Pump And Than Tells You To Wait. Soon All That Will Happen Is You Will Get The Wait 3 Mins And It Will Never Start, A Good Locksmith Can Take Care Of This For You And That Will Save You Some Money. Cause If You Go To The Dealer Ouch They Will Hit You Up. But I Asure This Is How It Will Happen Cause It Is How It Happen To Me
And Sorry There Is No By Passing The Computer

Bypass for vats system

The security, antitheft, or passlock light is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterperates this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle.
This link may help you find ways to bypass this or fix it yourself.

My 1990 Cadillac Seville says (starting disabled,anti-theft system. wait 3 minutes then start.)But still does not start.

You may have a failed ignition lock cylinder The wires that are attached to the lock cylinder are probably broke therefore the resistor value of the key pelet is not getting to the theft system module there fore without tha signal the car will not start. to repair the car will need a new lock cylinder and at least one new key

Unfortunately i can't really give you advise on how to bypass it since in this case the info can be used for auto theft. If you need help installing the ignition key switch i can be glad to help.

Cadillac seville won't start

I've got an even cheaper and easier solution, instead of buying a new cylinder, find that plug and snip the orange wires going to the old cylinder.Then remove the resistor chip from the key and solder each of the the wires to each side. this will fool the car into thinking the correct resistor chip is in place, allowing you to use the original key or any copies with or without resistor chips. i just did this to my caddy and it roared to life! :)
