Car Alarms: No Start, gm vehicle, buick lesabre


Question
Have a 1998 Buick Lesabre custom in shop. There is no fire to the starter, after replacing several ignition parts with no results. I blieve the problem is in the factory alarm. I read one of your responses about disableing the alarm by splicing a green wire from driver side somewhere. I have found multiple green wires comming from that side of the car. Some are lt green and dark green and there are severl of each.. Could you be more specific on the location and and wire to splice.. I want to try this befor installing a new key and tumber from the dealer. Thank you for your time. Could you please respond to askautomotive@cox.net..

Answer
The grounding of that wire does not apply to your GM vehicle.

Ok then, from your desription and the
make/model/year of the car you have there,
it appears you've reset the VATS.

The car's security immobilizer
reader at the key switch
does not recognise the coded
chip in the ignition key any longer.

You can try to put the key
in the ignition, turn to the on position &
wait at least 10 mins like that.
(Do not turn off the key switch before
10 minutes as elapsed!)

Once done, the key is re-programmed and
should allow the fuel injectors to work again.
The car would start now if corrected.

In some cases, the VATS (GM'S VEHICLE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
will re learn the code this way, and will then
allow the restart, however if this does not work,
then you can simply tow it to any GM vehicle dealer
to have the service department re code it.

There is a permanent solution though.
Adding the PLJX Self learning Bypass module (59.95)
will bypass the PASSLOCK system in your vehicle
for good. See this at www.PASSLOCK2.com

Good luck I hope method 1 does the trick!
