2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe Logo
Posted on Jan 11, 2009

I drive a 2005 Chevy CObalt SS-S and it won't start.

2005 Chevy Cobalt SS-S
69,000 miles (Warranty until 60,000. Great :/)

When I attempt to turn the car on, the console turns on and it sounds like it's trying to start, but just clicks.
Yesterday it would turn on if I gave it a little gas, now today it just sits there sounding a little pathetic with the check engine light on.

Anyone have an idea about that's happening?

2006 Chevy Cobalt SS. How to get past the antitheft system on it please.

A nice simple answer, you can't. Think of it this way, the car doesn't know you are the owner, and it is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do. You have two computer ECM and BCM, plus the antitheft module and a number of sensors all trying to stop you. All you have to do is the re-learn procedure. Plan B is an auto electrician or alarm / radio installer or auto locksmith.

30 Minute Re-Learn Procedure
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).
  3. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds .

2005 CHEVY COBALT THE ODOMETER DISPLAY READS EITHER 0 MILES OR BLANK. IF THE BATTERY IS DISCONECTED IT WILL READ UNTILL THE KEY IS OFF THEN ITS BACK TO 0

Oh that's a first I never heard that one before. I bet u have an electrical problem. The 2005 and 2006 Cobalts are notorious for a wide range of problems. I guess GMC couldn't work out the bugs. If your car is still under warranty you might want to take it to the dealership. If take it to Autozone or any where they have computer scanners that won't charge you an arm or a leg.
