SOURCE: passlock problem

Lock your door with the keyless entry (If you have it) if not just lock all your doors, pop your hood and shut all the doors. Then remove the negative off your battery for about 30 seconds minimum. Then reconnect the negative of the battery, close your hood, unlock the drivers door with either the key or the keyless system if you have it, and try to start your car. If that does not work then it is not your theft system but a bad grounding of your battery.

SOURCE: 2000 Cavalier will not start due to anti theft wire

NO, you will need to have Mr. Chop Shop fix it, or take it to a real mechanic and send him the bill.

1997 Chevy Cavalier. How do I bypass the anti-theft system forever?

Question edited for clarity and correct name of vehicle.

You can't bypass it Cherie, it involves transponder chips, receivers and the engine computer (ECM).. The anti-theft system is there to stop theft of the vehicle, basically what you are trying to do. You have to fix the system, not find a way around it. This is the reset. As long as you battery is good and fully charged, it should only need doing once.

Just leave the key in the run position and the "Theft System " light on the dash will be flashing. Leave the key on for about 10 minutes and the light will stop flashing and go on solid. Then the theft system is disable.

When anti theft light is blinking the car wont start. Can you bypass the anti theft device

On a 2003 Chevy Maibu the theft system light comes on and blinks when the system is triggered. The car will not start and the fuel pump cuts out. You must turn key to on and have all doors closed. Keep the key to on for 10 mins til theft light turns solid and then disappears. Then turn key to start and it should fire up.

No start cranks but does not fire has spark. has fuel if bypassed by relay fuses good new fuel pump a year ago has fuel replaced battery froze, has prostart remote start, been in 8 years no issues 2000...

check to see if the security light or anti theft light flashes. if that is the case, sounds like the bypass for the remote starter may be causeing the no start by tripping the anti theft system. Remove remote starter and bypass system and join any cut wires back together that may be cut for remote starter. Try starting, if theft light still flashes leave key in the on position after attempted start for 15 minutes till theft light goes solid, turn off and try again. Repeat process for three times to re-learn factory theft system in vehicle. If problem still persists, then take to your local dealer to reprogram factory theft module in the cluster.
