2006 Malibu not turning over.

First time removed + battery cable worked. second time did not work, tried holding key in on position for 10 mins. flashing dash lights but no start. Is it a bad ground connection or ignition sensor?

You never remove the + battery cable , unless you remove the negative first .
it is actually neg that u want to remove when u work on your car, when you remove the neg cable the whole car cannot make a connection or short, there are parts of the car that hold juice, once you remove the negative cable there is no path for current to travel.
look at it this way, most all metal in the car is the ground and pull the ground cable at the battery and there is no circuit.

there are older cars that were positive chassis, complete opposite, but thru electrolysiss the metal quickly deteriorated.

trust me remove the negative cable, not the positive.

the best thing people could do is make a quick disconnect for the neg. terminal for service.

Your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified ASE certified repair shop . Would not want you to hurt youself , batteries can explode with sparking when hooking up a battery .

Car will not start

Try this... turn the key on (just before the start position) for 10 min then
off for 5 SECONDS then back on for 10 mins then off for 5 seconds then on for 10 mins then off for 5 secs. I just went thru this with my daughters car. By doing this you reset the computer (and the alarm). If this does not work then I'm sorry.

My 01 chevy malibu theft deterrent light is on and my car wont start or let me get my key out of the ignition what can i do?

turn the key to the "acc" position. you will notice the theft light flashing. leave the key in this position for exactly 10 minutes. the light should stop flashing. turn the key back to the off position and then start the car as you normally would. Works every time!

Change starter on 2002 tahoe now motor wont start

If you had battery unhooked and assuming that it is turning over try this Put your key in turn it on dont start wait 10 mins remove key wait 10 seconds repeat this a total of 3 times. If that dont work try a different key do the same thing. This relearns your key to the ignition it started with Gm cars and trucks from 1999 to to 2006. It is a big problem but there is no recall that I know of. If that dont work a dealer needs to probably replace and reprogram your ignition switch and keys
