Tow it to a dealer and have it reprogrammed. This is your only choose..
The reason your anti-theft is active is the new column has a different key than your original. The chip that is in the key is different than the one that is suppose to go to your vehicle. You need to order a new lock cylinder from your local GM dealer for your VIN number.
I replaced the steering column on 07 pontiac g5 now the anti theft is on and i don't have my remote cuz i lost the keys and used column only has the key what do i do
tried the 10min reset and the key started the car for 5 secs at a time maybe i did the reset wrong?

SOURCE: 1998 Wranger Ignition Key Stuck / Steering Column Locked
I have had this same problem on 4 of my Jeeps. A locksmith provided me with two answers.
This key thing happens to me at least once a week.
It is a common problem with Jeeps. 1998 Wrangler, 2007 Cherokee and two 2000 Cherokees all had the issue.
1. Replace the tumbler assembly. $150. USD (Not!)
2. Place the key in the ignition, smartly impact the key on the **** end, end that is sticking out of the ignition. (Harder is not better) strike straight on as to not break the key off. 4 or 5 strikes should fix the problem every time.
FYI - flooding the switch with WD-40 will not fix the issue, it is a tumbler problem.

There should be a relay under the hood for the security system, if you can not find it, try jacking the front of the car up, it should have a sensor that tells it that it is being towed and should turn off, unless of course it has a bad wire that is grounding out.

cbridges2232,
Any luck with your keyless remote issue? I'm having the exact same problem with my Ford F150 CrewCab after car battery replacement.

Pry off the plastic cap off the bottom of the steering column. There is a small white plunger in this access hole and press while turning the key to the lock position.

The battery dead? Remove the battery cables and wait and then see if the key will turn. If it will not remove the key ( will it come out?) the key can be the wrong one ( maybe) you can have a blown fuse. Any fuse so you need to check them all. If the key will turn with the battery disconnected then put the car in park and turn the key off and remove it from the car. with the window down and the doors all closed and the hod open reconnect the known good ( charged Battery) with the battery connected don't open the door but reach in and put the key in and start the car. the doors should lock when the engine starts. reach in and unlock the door and get in and close the door. then turn the car off and remove the key get out and close the door and lock it with the key. wait a minute and then unlock the door with the key get in and drive away like normal. do everything though or you'll unset the reset cycle. Make shure that the break lights work as they control the unlocking feature of the collum.

I tried the ten min reset and the new key would start the car but after 5 seconds it shut off i did that like 5 times then turned the key all the way off and now it wont start at all again. Maybe i did reset wrong?
