When you turn the key to the on position, the theft light should begin to flash. You must leave the key in the on position for approxamately 10 min. This will reprogram the key to the car. When this problem occurs, it is because the lock cylinder (ignition switch) needs to be replaced.

You need to take the dash apart to get to it. I had the same problem in my 2000 malibu. Are u having a theft system problem? I was. You need to take the ignition apart too.
