I have activated the immobilizer on accident. When it is activated my car appears to have a faulty starter and my car will not start. It is some anti-theft thing. Hate it. I can not figure out how I am doing, and I have been lucky in the past and have been able to deactivate it, by chance, after several minutes of trying to start my car. This time I have not been so lucky and now 5 hours later I still can't start my car. Any GOOD ideas on what I need to do?
There is a small switch that activates/deactivates the anti theft security feature on your car. It is located near the hood release. Flip the switch off. Try to start. This should reset. The security system is activated inadvertently by locking and unlocking the doors. If the correct series is not followed the system will be armed and silent, often resulting in a dead battery.. no fun! I went through the same problem for a month before I found the solution- jump starting the car will also bypass the system, however it's not the ideal long term solution :)

you should be able to reset it by unlocking the passenger side door with the key

Hi what is happening is that your turn off your car and left the wheels turned to one side and specially if your car is parke in a hill what you have to do is to force the steering wheel to the same direction of your wheels this will free up the ignition switch it is going to be hard let me tell you but it will work and this is why your shift don't work once you have the ignition switch free then your shift will work again

I had a similar problem and figured out the battery cable connection to the battery post had corroded on one side making it loose and just lifting the hood would make the connection touch enough to allow power to transmit and then after movement of the car or just closing the hood would loosen it enough to break the circuit.

jimmy: it sounds like the drivers door unlock tamper switch or the other switch may have failed. One side can affect the other under certain circumstances. Your trunk lock also has a switch which arms and disarms the antitheft system. Try locking all the doors, make sure the hood and trunk lid are closed and then open the trunk. Leave it open open the drivers door and try to start the car.
If it's a no start. Disconnect the ground battery cable then put the ignition key in the run position in you ignition switch. Reconnect the battery and try to start the car. It should start. This usually will override the anti theft system. One issue with this will be, whether the antitheft system will remain disarmed.
Although I have never tried this before, I know that the system will not arm unless all the doors, trunk and the hood are closed.
I could suggest this to try if the car starts as I had told you pertaining to disconnecting the battery cable, I would take the switch and unbolt it from the passenger's side of the engine compartment just forward of the shock tower. Just let it sit somewhere so it doesn't get caught up in anything moving. If there is a light under the hood of your car, remove the bulb.
Let me know how you make out.
