How do you reset the anti-theft system for a 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo if your car will not start?

Answer 1

I had to reset the anti theft in my 04 Monte SS after ignition replacement. I cant remember exactly how I did it but it was time consuming. Seems I had to turn ignition switch from off to on 3 times. On the 3rd time go to "Crank" position and hold for 5 seconds and then release to the on position. Then I had to watch the securuty light flash until t went to a solid light. Once the light became solid I had to repeat that entire step 2 more times. It's been awhile and my car is a bit newer but I'm pretty sure that's how I did it and it WORKED! It took about 1/2 hour to get through it once I finally figured out the right way. By the way the light starts flashing diiferently when it's getting ready to complete each stage. That's how you know when your getting close to repeating the step. So if after the 1st time through it doesn't do like I said, then yours is either different or I'm failing to give the directions quite right.
