Access the ignition switch through the faceplate covering the radio, and look for a small 3 piece set of wires on top of the ignition switch, and start the car as normal, having the anti-theft light "not" come on, and cut the little yellow wire and the anti-theft light will come on now, and stay on forever, but the car will always start.

Why does anti theft light stay on after alarm set car wont start?

If the anti-theft light stays on after the alarm is set, it typically indicates that the car's security system has been triggered or is malfunctioning. This can prevent the vehicle from starting as a safety measure to deter theft. Common causes include a faulty key fob, a problem with the ignition system, or an issue with the vehicle's anti-theft module. It's advisable to consult the owner's manual or a professional mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue.

Jeep Cherokee 2000 Key sign won't go off and car won't stay started?

Sounds like either you are using a door key which does not have the anti-theft chip in it, or the anti-theft chip in your ignition key has lost its programming. You can but the keys online (Ebay and such) for much, much cheaper than at the dealer, but you will have to take the keys to a dealer to have them programmed. I think the programming costs somewhere around $30.


If you replaced the instrument cluster on a 1996 Grand Am and now the anti theft light is blinking and the car dies right after it starts how do you reset the anti theft light?

I don't know if this will help, but I had to reset the anti-theft on my 2001 Jimmy today and this was the procedure: Try to start the engine, it will fire and die. Leave the key in the on position. Wait 10 minutes. The "Security" light will stay on during the 10 minute interval then turn off. Turn the key to the "off" position for 5 seconds. Repeat 3 times. (Yes. It takes 30 minutes and 15 seconds to reset the antitheft in a Jimmy.) 70.64.66.88 hit the nail on the head! I just replaced the ignition lock cylinder on my 1997 Grand Am SE and got the ANTI THEFT light. Following the above advice it only took one time before the system reset itself. Turned over engine, it died, left key in on position, anti theft light blinked for 10 minutes then went solid, turned key to off position, counted to 7 mississippi, restarted engine, it fired and ran and anti theft light gone.
