Hi Chris This sounds like a return to Holden for repair. The chance is the fault is the ignition barrel It may need replacement. I have known in the past where people after stopping the engine and exiting the car grab the steering wheel and put there weight against the locking pin in the ignition barrel via the downward force on the steering wheel this can bend the pin and then its a matter of time before it locks up. The only way to make a correct diagnosis is for someone to to look at your car. I hope this information is of some help Good luck
That means the linkage rod fell off your key cylinder. (this happens whenever someone tries to steal your car) the push rod presses your ignition switch. If you know how to pull your steering wheel off, you can replace the key cylinder (if some of the casting is broken) by going to a junkyard. Get a cylinder with a key (you can make copies of the new key later) If the key cylinder was ok then just reattach the rod and put the steering wheel back on (being careful to keep the wheels facing forward before you remove the steering wheel so that you put it back the same way)
If your battery checks out, but the starter is still silent, it may be a faulty ignition switch. Turn the key to the on position (not all the way to start). If the red warning lights on your dash don't light up (and your battery connections are clean), the ignition switch is bad. If they do light up, turn the key to the start position. The dash warning lights should turn off at this key position (most cars). If you're not sure, turn on the headlights. When you try to start the car, the lights should either dim (a lot) or turn off completely. If they do, your ignition switch should be ok. If not, the switch will need replacement.
when u turn on the ignition does the light for the dash board turn off and when u release the ignition key back light for dash board come back. If this happens a battery poles are dirty or loose try cleaning and tighten good
check if the batteries in key remote are good. if good nedd to reset your key by putting in the ignition just turn the dash lights on ...dont start the car and once the ignition lights shows on the dash board just press unlock and lock once ot twice until it locks and unlocks while u in the car. try that it had worked for me before should do for urs.
Yes the key needs to be reprogramed to the car. Unfortunately that will have to be done by the dealer. Make sure that you have plenty of proof that you are the owner. They will reprogram it but you will not take posession of the car until you prove it is yours.
Well, you can sometime catch the code again. Pt the key in the ignition and turn till the dash light come on (dont Start) then press and the Lock button while keeping the Lock button Pressed and turn the dash light off and put the key with the lock button Press for 10 second afterwards. If not successful first time try again. This should do it.
