poor contacts on the ignition switch, try another ignition switch, the one you replaced was defective too.

Here's a trouble shooting guide.Trouble Code: P1632

Theft Deterrent Fuel Disable Signal Received

Possible Causes:


Perform the Powertrain Onboard Diagnostic System CheckPassword Learn Procedure - Attempt to start the vehicle (leave the ignition "on"). The Theft System telltale will flash for 4 seconds and then remain "on" for 10 minutes. Theft System Learn Mode will display Disabled on the Scan ToolTurn the ignition "off" after the Theft System telltale goes "out".Repeat steps 1 and 2 two more times. After the Theft System telltale turns "off" on the 3rd key cycle, and Theft System Learn Mode will display Enabled on the Scan Tool, attempt to start the engine. Once the engine starts the password is learned.

You need a dealer to scan the system to see what is keeping the system armed. There is no way to deactivate it or bypass it..

if a vehicle ends up being tripped into theft mode you will likely have to get a dealer reset it..... some weaker systems can be reset by disconnecting the battery though

Be sure the AIR BAG/VATS fuse 10 amp, is good. there is a STARTER ENABLE RELAY up high on the left of the steering column. I ASSUME the anti theft light is not flashing?" at the STARTER ENABLE RELAY the YELLOW wire is hot in the crank mode and comes out large PURPLE to the starter. the small purple wire is hot in the crank mode if the fuse (air bag/vats) is good. the small yellow is grounded through the park switch and the VATS module (anti theft)

IF BATTERY CABLES CLEAN AND TIGHT.STARTER AND SOLENOID GOOD.SEE IF YOU SEE THEFT LIGHT ON WHILE KEY IN RUN POSITION.IF SECURITY LIGHT ON YOUR CAR IS IN THEFT SECURITY MODE.TRY ANOTHER KEY.PUT IN IGNITION FOR 10 MINUTES IN RUN POSITION WITH ENGINE OFF.WHEN SECURITY LIGHT TURN OFF. TURN OFF IGNITION SWITCH .WAIT 5 SECONDS TRY CRANKING TRUCK.IF STILL DONT CRANK.HAVE TRUCK HOOK UP TO A SCANNER TO CHECK FOR THEFT SECURITY MODE FAULT.

when security light comes on your car is in theft mode.you can try another key.if engine still dont crank.dealership have to fix it.they have check the ignition switch and.pcm theft detterrant system.also cars keys have a chip on it.they have to check to see if pcm is reading the keys.if not they have to replace ignition switch and keys and reprogram your pcm theft deterrant system.so your car will crank.

It sounds like the vehicle is in theft mode,did you use a different key? Does the theft light blink really fast with the key off?If the passive anti-theft system has been activated the computer will have to be reset in order to get the vehicle running again.

sounds like ecm lost signal from key
