Usually means the chip in the key has failed, or the sensor in the key lock. Have you tried a spare key ?

1998 cadillac deville wont start cause starting disable remove key message shows up. What can i do to to fix it

First try another key if you have one.
If that doesn't work then remove the negative wire, wait a few minutes, reconnect and try.
If that doesn't work then you might have broken cable to the ignition switch.

98 deville displayed check fuel guage later the display read starting disabled what is the problem

most of the time when we see a starting disabled there is a problem with the pass key system, this system includes the key and the ignition cylinder lock assembly. you wil most likely have to replace the cylinder lock assembly to cure this problem.

My 1998 cadillac deville wont start it says starting disabled on the dash how do i get it to start

Hello, You probably have failed (broken) wire(s) coming from the ignition lock cylinder to the security system. To repair you need to replace the ignition lock cylinder, a new key with the same resistor. no programming required. Hope this helps

My 98' deville wont start whenever i put the key in the ignition all the gauges lite up but engine wont start. The l.e.d display tells me "starting disablledremove key...i have no idea what to do..

The resistor chip in the key may be damaged or the sensor in the ignition may be damaged. You can have the ignition replaced or disable the theft deterent by hard wiring in the proper resistors. Search the cadillac forums for details on how to do this.
