Don't you still have a door key?Otherwise jack up the car and remove the engine under body cover.Between the radiator support and the engine are some hard lines.Remove the two brackets holding them,this will allow you room to get to the starter.Hook the red end of a jumper cable to the red battery cable that's connected to the starter.Black to a suitable ground and charge the battery.A battery charger is easier to use,use that if you have one.If jumping off a car make sure the cables are hooked to the dead car first and grounded to the engine not the battery of the car doing the charging.Sure hope this helps!

I went to the GM dealership and had them make me a new key for $35. You'll need your liscense and title.

I changed my battery in my 2005 cadillac sts, and now it is showing that the starter is locked. fob locks and unlocks the car, but i can't get car to start. what do i do?

you can try this, with the battery connected lock the car using the key fob, make sure no keys are in the ignition. Disconnect the battery again and let it sit for 30 min or so, reconnect the battery and using the key fob unlock the car, it should start, if not repeat the procedure and insert the key into the door lock to unlock the car, both of these solutions should reset the security system. Good luck.

In the 2006 STS is there a place in the car where the key fob can be inserted to turn the car on if the battery is dead? In the XLRV there is a place in the glove compartment

Hello: If you are talking about the battery in the key fob then yes, there should be a slot in the glove compartment that you can insert the key fob and it should work. If you are referring to the main car battery then no, you will have to charge, jump or replace the battery.

Raise the car up,support it in the front

Put a battery charger on the battery cable
at the starter and the ground to the sub frame

Charge the battery for a couple hours,then try to
open the door with key fob

2005 sts wont start. Says no FOBS detected. Please help?

Are both FOBs doing this? If it's only one I would replace the FOB battery.
NO FOBS DETECTED Message on DIC, No Crank/Start Unless Fob in Center Console Pocket or Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Button Inoperative (Replace Remote Control Door Lock, Theft Deterrent Receiver Assm) #04-08-52-008

Tell the Dealership to look at this. They should be able to fix it quickly.

Keep us updated.

Hi, I have a 2006 Cadillac STS and the battery seems to be dead and I can't open the doors either because the fobs don't work. The spare key that I have is inside the car. Is there anyway I can get in to...

you can go to a cadillac with proof of ownership and a picture ID and yhey can grt the codes for your key and cut you a new key. after you get in the car start the car with the old key shut car off and immediately start car with new key this will activate the new key to your car

NO FOB DETECTED

Slight glitch from what I've found. Has happened to me at the gas pump. One other time while talking outside my car with out opening the doors. If No FOB detected then step out of the car lock and unlock, get back in and try. If still dosen't detect then you need to walk twenty feet away with your key and it should reset.
