The key resistor may be dirty if it has that type of key. I have this type of key on my 1997 Cadillac Deville.

If all else fails, maybe take it to the dealer to see if you can have the key checked out for compatibility with your vehicle.

I understand that multiple fobs have to be programmed into the computer if they don't work right with the vehicle.

How do I disable alarm 1993 Isuzu trooper? It will not start. Engine just clicks. It wouldn't even start when tried to jump start it.

I don't know how to disable the alarm for your Trooper. With most cars however, if you open the drivers side door with the key, and insert and turn the key to try to turn it on (even though it won't start) that should disable the alarm.

It sounds like your battery may be completely dead and needs to be replaced. ORielly's auto store will check /charge your battery for free. You'll just have to unhook the battery and get a friend to take you.

I have a 2004 grand am it turns over but its like its not getting gas. It runs with starting fluid I cleaned the fuel filter it had some black junk in it. I put new starter and plugs and coil pack.

When you first turn the key on do you hear the fuel pump turn on? If not, then the pump, which is in the tank, has likely seized. You can try banging the tank with a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to see if you can get the pump going temporarily.

Had new key cut for a 05 saturn relay startind disabaled appears and it will not turn over everything else works fine

Check with you local dealer and see if the key is supposed to have a chip in it to start the vehicle. Or maybe just maybe try pttig the key in the driver door and turn the key to the unlock position three times and see. But first and foremost call your dealer. Hope i helped?

Starting: car will not start; dash reads "starting

Hello, RW Betton,

Here is a few things to try then please read toward the bottom. Please read my whole page here of ideas for you.

Question? when it does disable it usually will say " starting disabled due to theft system remove key from ignition and wait 3 minutes'. Are you able to start car after the 3 minutes? or it wont period? My car does this a lot to but I think its cause you have to unlock the car, get in it, shut the doors and then start the car because mine does it when i open the doors.

Also some times if you have a chip in your key will do this as they ware out, and would have to try you back up key (if you have one) and if turns out to be your key, that has bad chip, dealer would have to replace that.

Finally, this is your other choice as well below, and you can click on that site and it should help you. Most the times this whole issue is triggered from the key itself into the ignition, that cause this.

If you have the GM pass lock system in that car, this is a site that will show you how to disable it:

tml


However, if it were my car I would see what the dealer will charge to fix it first. It may just be a simple reprogramming is needed or a inched wire in the steering column. I would want the car to have an anti theft system working as it should.

I hope my free advice has helped you, and if you could please rate my help accordingly and some kind words too. I appreciate it, and keep me informed on progress. Here is also my direct link for all my services I offer to help you.

That is my personal page of all my areas of ads of my expertize. Mike

This morning when I attempted to start my 2006 Hummer H3, nothing happened. I thought I may have a dead battery but the lights and radio work fine. I then noticed the Passlock security lock light was on...

Hello:Try this procedure: turn key on, turn to start, let key come back to on wait ten minutes, turn key off wait 10 seconds turn key back on wait 10 minutes. turn key off wait 10 seconds turn key back on wait 10 minutes turn key off wait 10 seconds NOW try and start. In addition you might try tapping on switch assembly while trying to start. There is not any way to disable passlock. You might try having the engine control system codes read
