Disrupting the power supply triggers the antitheft system, and even though everything is back the way it should be, one the system is triggered there's no way to undo it. The only option vehicle owners have had for a long time is to take it to a dealership where they will have to replace the module, or sensor, replace the ignition switch and key. The average cost for these three parts plus labor is $1,000.00+. There is san alternative fix that is considerably cheaper.

I would first suspect the mechanical ignition switch, mounted on top of the steering column by your feet. First remove the splash panel under the steering column.Mark the position with a marker or scribe - it's very important that you re - install that switch in the EXACT position it came from ! Remove the retaining nuts ( or bolts ) securing the steering column to the dash. Carefully lower the steering column - on the top side you'll see a rectangular plastic component with a wire harness on the left ( driver ) side and a metal rod out the back side coming toward the steering wheel. Dismount that ( it's the mech. ign. switch ) and unplug that harness. Inspect the plug for corrosion, burnt blades or rust. clean up any dirt and put dielectric grease on all blades / connections . SMELL the switch - if it smells kinda burned, replace it. If it's not stinky it may still be going bad. When you re - install, check operation of the switch before you remount the column. That metal bar activates the starter, and if the switch is too low your starter won't engage. Also be VERY careful with that airbag - a shock or hard bump to the steering column with the key on could deploy the airbag, potentially causing a serious injury. Maybe take it to a shop and let THEM have the fun,heh? Hope this helps!
there is a shift lock solenoid that releases the shifter when the brake is applied.Check the fuse is not blown.The other thing is make sure the steering wheel has no backpressure on it.That will jam the ignition from turning.there is a cable running to the shifter in the column.
