This usually works.Lock the doors with the remote.Press lock twice sounding the alarm.Then press the unlock button twice.Your car should start now.If that doesnt work try this,Lock the car again with the remote once.Go over to the passenger side door and use the key to unlock the door then press in the door unlock all doors.Hopefully by now it worked.Now if none of these work your security probably malfunctioned and theres only two things that will work,One is disconnecting the battery for 5 mins then reconnecting.unlock doors.the start.If that doesnt work you'll have to take it to the dealer to get the security reset or replaced.The steps I have wrot you are the diagnostics to reset it.I hope these work for you and good luck.See ya had have a great day..

How do I start 1997 chevy express 3500 with the wires?

You can't. It has an anti-theft device. The days of boosting a car with a couple of wires ended in the 1980s! You have to fix the problem, not find a way around it.

P0300 2004 chevy malibu

Hi Raloo, Seems to me you could have a problem with the anti theft device. If you have a problem with the injection side of the vehicle, which is what it sounds like make sure the anti theft has not become active. Regards John

2004 chevy impala 6 cyl. Would not start. Lights etc worked, battery okay. Engine would not turn over. No starter cranking. Call AAA they said to turn the key on for 10 minutes and try again. third time...

it resets the anti theft system, so vehicle will start. all gm vehicles from 97-2005, contain a anti theft system called a passlock system. go to tubesound.com to disable passlock for good. (just type in your problem when page comes up).

you can easily bypass the security system entirely. There is a great write-up here http://newrockies.ca . That was the only solution that saved my Park Avenue.
