Hello: It sounds like the tumblers have come loose in the ignition lock cylinder. You will have to replace the lock cylinder and possibly the key. (if the key is badly worn it could have caused the lock cylinder to fail.) Then you will have to program the system. There is NOT a Way to by pass the pass-key 3 system. Or UNLOCK IT........

What's the easyest way to hot wire a 2000 Cadilac DHS

There isn't one. The 2000 DTS has a VATS security system. The car has to have the right key in the ignition for the system to turn on the fuel pump and the ignition system. Without those, the car no run.

Theft deterent wont crank on my 2001 cadillac eldorado

The antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well.

It may be as simple as trying a different key but the security systems on gm vehicles have had problems with the ignition cylinders going bad and preventing the car from starting.

I have a R reg mercedes E320, the other day i got in to find that the ignition key will not turn, it doesnt seem to power up the ignition barrel?? ive stripped the barrel and if you insert the key and take...

Most likely there you have a security system VAT (Vehicle Anti-Theft) module. If you try to bypass this the car will not start. Have a mechanic or yourself get to the main wiring harness to the ignition in the steering column under the dash, unplug it and use another ignition with a key in it to learn the security system code first before trying to start it.
