You have a problem in the Ignition switch. The switch is wore out. $600.00 to replace! NOT!!!!! The ignition is not sensing the ignition key resistor. To fix this , you will need to sacrifice a key but it is a simple fix to bypass the security system. Remove the steraring colum cover locate the 2 white wires coming down from the ignition switch. Cut them. Solder the wires , From the firewall, onto the resistor in the key. Securley place some shrink tubbe over that. Wire tie this up under the dash securly. You have just bypassed the security system! You can now start your car with a key made by the local hardware. I am going on 2 years with this fix!

You will have to wait the three minutes. During that time clean the key with an alcohol pad. Works for me.

How can I bypass a anti auto theft system on my 1990 cadillac seville?

I Have A Seville 1990, When That Happen To Me I Got The Inginion
Replaced Problem Solved. What Is Happening Is Your Key Has A Chip And That Chip Is A Resister And When The Valve Is Not Sented To The Computer It Disengages the Fuel Pump And Than Tells You To Wait. Soon All That Will Happen Is You Will Get The Wait 3 Mins And It Will Never Start, A Good Locksmith Can Take Care Of This For You And That Will Save You Some Money. Cause If You Go To The Dealer Ouch They Will Hit You Up. But I Asure This Is How It Will Happen Cause It Is How It Happen To Me
And Sorry There Is No By Passing The Computer

Starter disabled due to theft system

the wire that goes to the ignition to the anti theft device is probably broken if you call a good locksmith they can go in through the steering column and fix it same thing happened to my 95 eldorado apparently cadillac designed the anti theft system to coincide with the ignition and is connected to the ignition with two wires that turn as the key is turned the wires twist and eventually they wear out
