2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx no ignition cylinder.

The simplest solution here is to have the ignition barrel replaced. There is so much electronics involved in a modern cars bypassing (hot wiring) the ignition can just cause more problems and usually expensive ones. The barrels themselves aren't that expensive and any good auto electrician should be able to fit and code the keys for it. Sadly it's the fitting that could be the expensive bit.

2005 chevy malibu i replaced ignition now it starts for one second then turns off is can i directly permantly insert the chip from the key directly into sensor box which is cinnected to the ignition &...

A common problem is the ignition cylinder and/or the ignition switch. With the buzzing of the relay, i would say all this may be related to the ignition switch. A low voltage supply to any of the circuits that the switch feeds will give strange electrical conditions. If going to replace the ignition switch, then also do the cylinder at the same time. With all things described, sure sounds like the ignition switch. P.S. The locks may be related to the ignition switch problem or not at all. With that said, would suggest looking at the BCM(body control module)It control locks, and also has alot to do with the security system. See picture at bottom of this page of corroded BCM connectors. 4- Passlock Ignition lock
cylinder removed.
Install new cylinder.Try to start- it wont or dies.Leave key on for 10-12 minutes, or until light goes out.Then turn off key for 10 seconds.Turn key to 'on' position for 5 seconds, then turn to start

My 2005 chevy malibu classic wont start the battery is good but it wont kick over. and also the igntion switch is bad it locks up how do i test the problem for myself it is to expensive to take it to the...

This could be a bad starter. Does it make a clicking sound when you turn the key? Does the engine sound like it wants to start but just wont? If the ignition switch is bad it could be the solution to your entire problem and it is not too hard to replace yourself. Please post with these answers. Thank you!

Problems starting

I own a 1998 Chevy Malibu personally, change the ignition switch I had the identical issue, the switch eventually stopped turning completely, my vehicle had to be towed!! Save yourself a headache, I got one from a junkyard for 2.00, but it had to be programmed for the vehicle, I would take it to a trusted shop or dealer.

Chevy malibu keyless entry malfunction

Key fobs have to be reprogrammed. something has knocked the coding off. Search the web for procedures to program fobs. It usually entails operating ignition a series of power lock sequences and the like. If that does not work you can take it to the dealer and they can recode it using the data from you cars computer, but that is extremely expensive.
