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.

How can i changi the ignition lock cylinder in my 2000 Chevy Malibu?

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. Your going to need to reprogram the new ignition lock cylinder with your computer. To reprogram just turn the key to the on position (dont start it) let it sit for 10 minutes, repeat this 3 times. It should be programmed now. Now start it.
