Theft security problem

I have a Cadillac deville 1998 v8 northstar. I had my alternator rebuilt and got a new battery. Vehicle started once but dash read battery not charging. Took vehicle to O'Riellys Battery tested bad. Had to get a jump to start vehicle. Replaced battery with warranty. Tried to start vehicle w new battery, vehicle wouldn't start. However dash lights and lights came on. It read across dash theft security problem, vehicle may not restart. What could this problem be?

Usually it means the computer is not accepting the chip in your key.
It can be the key, the sensor in the lock cylinder, or something in the security module or computer.
You might try another key or lock and unlock the driver's door with the key.

SOURCE: 94 cadillac won't start, even

Check the starter/solenoid - sounds like either one or both need replacing. If you can get the starter off - you can take it to an Auto Zone or an O'Reilly's to get it tested. I'm not sure of any tests for the solenoid (sometimes it's part of the starter) - some cars also have a starter relay switch. If that's the problems - it's usually cheap & easy to replace.

Hi Adam

You took the car to the dealer and they cant find anything? Hmmmm
Call GM customer service in Canada or USA tell them what your problem is its a 2011 tell them!!!! make sure you get customer service have your Serial number ready and they will get you to a dealer that will fix it. Make a big complaint and tell them you are going to give this car back to them just atch ans see, I fthey dont cal back again and speak to head manager trouble shooting and complaints of GM.The way they sound they cant find any problems sounds worse than that its a caddi they have dash ,cluster electrical problems you still have warranty its a year and half old :)

Where and how many freeze plugs are on a 96 Cadillac DeVille 4.6L v8

A hunt and count question. core/freezed plug.
NO VIN told no RPO code for engine told.
8th digit of VIN is ENGINE CODE VIN :"Y" below.
or vin=9 (8TH)
well even the service manual does not do the count.
it shows some, block and heads.
what you can learn to do is google it.
here is how to do that
I google new rebuilt raw engine blocks for sale.
watch out engine can evolve and even be swapped a newer GEN engine, 279 cu in (4.6 L)
but I will post for DAY new,1996 only
1996, the Northstar engine
RPO code LD8 or L37
lets to LD8
the DeVille Concours was available with the new 270 hp (201 kW) LD8 Northstar V8, and later, the high-output L37 Northstar generating 300 hp (220 kW).
LD8
first hit shows VIN-=Y shows 4 in the 2 heads 2x2.=4
left and right heads outside ends. and 1 rear and front of head for 6 total,

When you replaced battery you activated the system. Need to read owner manual and see if it tells how to deactivate it. You may need to contact dealer to deactivate it.

I have a 1998 Cadillac Deville. I replaced the battery, and alternator. Its still not charging properly. The service charging system light is on on the dash. Can you tell me what else could be wrong?

Sounds like a faulty voltage regulator to me.Start the car and take a multimeter and check voltage coming out of the alternator it should be 14-14.6 volts if its not within these specs take alternator back and get a new one.

System theft light is on my 1998 cadillac deville why?

because cadillac is the biggest garbage on the road stop worrying about your lights and start worrying about your headgasket and transmission. good luck with that car, suicidal northstars just decide to selfdestruct after 100k miles.
