Unfortunately, you will probably have to have the ignition switch replaced to get the car started again. There are two fine wires comming off of it which connect to the computer that reads the chip in the key. They have a tendency to break. I recently had mine replaced at a Caddy dealer for about $400.00. I later found a locksmith that said they would have done it for Approx. $250.00. (Yeah, I'm still hurtin' over that one!) You might be able to change it yourself, but with all the things that could go wrong, the airbag system, etc, while dropping and getting into the steering column, it's not necessarily a good idea to try.

How do you disable the theft system 2000 Pontiac Sunfire?
I have a 2005 sunfire and i realize that the theft systems might be different on different year models of the car- i had trouble with my theft system going off randomly- the car would crank but not start and the "theft system" light would flash. I called several dealerships and even tried calling a GM hotline and they all told me the same thing- the theft system cannot be disabled, like it or not it is part of the car and if it is defective it needs to be replaced. there is, however, a relearn procedure you can use to get the car to start without towing it to a shop. 1) try to start the car (it won't start and the theft system light will flash) 2) leave the key in and resting in the "on" position (the position it's in after you crank and release- turns on the radio, dash lights etc.). the theft system light will continue to flash for about 10 min and then it will stop flashing and stay on. 3) turn the key to "off" and leave it there for another minute or two. 4) try starting it again. if it does not start now, it should after repeating the above two or three times

Why engine of Honda crv wont start with anti theft light flashing?
Because the anti-theft system senses that an improper key (or improper method) is being used in an attempt to start the vehicle and the on-board computer has disabled the ignition system to prevent (what it senses as) the attempted theft of the vehicle.
