The price is forbidding our small income expenses. . .BUT if you can
determine my explanation below that your bypass is compatible with ours?
We, I, my wife and baby, are confined in the seculed place in Hayfork
mountains. . .I am seeking for main stand-alone switcher that turns off
against fuel pump, against inner dome light, against rear trunk lid light,
against auto transmission and against four door lock actuators . . .I
successfully made it run with bypass starter relay and hot wired down to
gas tank pump and it runs well but "service immediately" light stays on..
and auto transmission starts on 3 rd gear that stalls engine, it wont start
on second gear. . .when arrived home on uphill road it wont go up so I
drove it on reverse and finally parked here. . .
I KNOW it is a few steps ahead where stand-alone switcher are. I am going
to follow the dome light's wire down to the place where relay-switchers
are. . or follow gas pump wire that I assume can be very hard way to do. .
but before I go ahead that if you can tell me where those switchers for
A/T, fuel pump,inner lights, doors are located?? in 1998 SL1 ? that would
really save my searching . . . Your tips without having to purchase your
bypassing kit would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Donald

How can I start my 2008 Pontiac G6 if my ignition is not in and the anti theft system is active

You can't. You have to fix the problem, not find a way around it. The anti-theft system is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do.

Changed steering column on 2007 impala and now I have no crank no start. No fuel to injectors.

Your anti theft system isn't allowing it to start because you no longer are using the factory key. Contact someone close to you that does remote start instalations, they should be able to bypass the security system.

2002. Why is anti-theft light on, preventing it from starting?

The most common cause is the chip in the key does not match the security code, or the security module has failed. The chip in the key must match the factory setting to allow the car to start.
If it worked before you replaced the lock cylinder, you need to have a new key with the same old chip cut to the new lock.

99 ranger won't crank, periodically, has anti theft.

I looked at your security system, it is starter motor disable and fuel injectors. You can usually get the starter crank, but, if it is the security system, it still won't start because of fuel injectors. I don't know any way to bypass security system. You can check for applicable trouble codes, if there are any?

89 firebird anti theft code won't let car start

If code 53 involves the PASS system for your car, the chip in the key has failed, or the sensor in the lock cylinder, or the control module.
The anti-theft system disables the starter and the fuel injectors. You could bypass those circuits to get the car started.

My car is not responding to remote key not starting when i try to start

Sometimes the original anti theft system put in by GM can cause a no start situation. The key needs to communicate with the ignition and then the ignition communicates with the TDM computer. (Theft Deterrent Module) The TDM then allows the car to start. When installing remote starts they tend to "bypass" the key ignition part of the security system. This will then eventually ruin the TDM. If you see a light on the dash that says SECURITY, then this is 100% your problem.
This link has info and some ways to fix this problem. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/
