My 2002 Chevrolet Corvette will not restart for 30 minutes after drivng it and turning it off

My corvette will start up fine every morning when I first crank it, but after I reach my destination turn the car off and come back to leave my car will not restart for 30 minutes. Its like the starter has been disengaged. all lights go on and off like they are supposed to but I turned the key and get nothing. I have replaced the ignition switch to no avail.

SOURCE: 1981 Corvette will not start

The neutral safety switch is located in the shifter housing.

Here is a link to a good article on this topic, that would beat an explanation from me.

Yes, it sounds like the NSS is the culprit.

SOURCE: 1994 corvette wont start

I had the same issue this morning...ran yesterday just fine, but this a.m. when I went to start...nothing. No dash lights, no click, nothing except some odd ticking from the dash(?) ~ weird. Anyway, replaced the battery...starts like the champ!
Changing the battery is a bit of a challenge, but I found a GREAT step-by-step on http://www.corvettemagazine.com/2001/october/battery/bat1.asp

SOURCE: Key stuck, won't turn, won't shift...replace ignition switch?

Try to shift your key in either direction while try to turn your steering in left and right direction. May be its steering lock which is attached to your ignition key preventing shifting of key. If not, then its obviously your ignition that has gone.
If you decide to change ignition then as a last try Dip your key in lubricating oil and then insert in ignition to turn it on. May be it can help.

SOURCE: when i turn the key I get no dash lights, 97 blazer

I had the same exact thing happen to me, I have a 97 blazer and after hours of screwing around with it and several different options... it turned out to simply be the ignition switch.

Testimonial: "Cheers really appreciated that the second opinion was very helpful, mine also just turned out to be just the ignition switch. SO what will be next ???"

How could i reset the security lock on a 1999 chevy corvette

I can't find a reset for that year of Corvette. It is a Passlock system. So maybe the normal 30 minute procedure will work.

Perform the re-learning 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 light, after approximately 11 minutes the light will turn OFF.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 10 seconds.
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes ( the vehicle is now ready to relearn the Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK).

If not, this site may help. http://diy-gm-security.com/

Changed battery in 2004 corvette and car won't start security light is on

Make sure you turn all accessories off maybe even put a charger on before you do this. After turning the ignition switch to the start position release it to the run position for approximately ten minutes. The security light should go out. Turn ignition switch to the off position for 10 seconds. Then restart. It may take up to three of these procedures to relearn but in your case it usually works on the first try.

I replaced my battery on 2002 chevy corvette and now every time i start car, it will fire up but the minute i apply the gas, it abruptly dies?

If you replaced the battery could it be possible that you might have a loose connection or forgotten a wire? I would start there first.

My 1996 corvette lost its power steering but now is fine. What happened?

Its possible that something clogged up belt. One time, I had a baby kitten sleep inside my engiine and it knocked out the belt. Needless to say, I bang on my car now before I leave in the mornings.
