Ok so I get out of work and try to start my car...wont crank only clikcing noise. So i check the fuse...fuse is fine. Thinking I need a boost so i call my old man and he brings the cables...not start. Then i notice the symbol on the dash board of my car with the little car and lock. so i look in the manual and it's the passkey anti theft thing. Anyone know how I can get it fixed with out it being towed to the dealer?

I don't have an alarm

 

did you try pull the negative cable off the battery for a few minutes then reattaching

 

no foul language in title, change it quick so you dont get your thread deleted.

 

yup...nothing

 

10min or more to be exact. or use a code reader to reset.

It sounds like unfortunately you might be stuck with having to go to a dealer with a tech2.


do you have a spare key you can try??? your key might just have somehow been damaged.

o. also check ur fuses.

 

It's 15min actually. In EMT-Basic training they told us a car can store up to 15min of energy for the air bag. ya, in the book it said to use the other key to see if it's damaged or if the resistor in the key is bad. nothing worked....got it towed to the dealer. My warranty is going to go to **** thanks to the system, intake and all the other **** they'll prolly come up with

 

huh, my moms car had the same light on the dash, all i did is put the cables on it, and jumped it and it started right up.

 

When I called my dad he brought the cables and tried to jump it but the passkey anti theft system shuts off the fuel pump until it's flashed

 

did you unlock the car with the remote?

 

^^^
Oh yeah I forgot about that

Well done, the totally obvious seemed to slip past us all.

 

don't use foul language on thread titles. also, your sig is too long. have that americanworker link come down a space and you'll be fine.

 

As stated in the first post I do not have an alarm
Thank you, Will do.

 

i think he meant with the factory key fob!

 

Ok so I got the car back and the issue is as follows...

"Found open cicuit between IPC and BCM...repaired wire open between INST Cluster and Body control Module. Circuit #339 Pink Wire."

I was 1 of 5 cobalts to have this issue apparently....no mods to interfere with issue.

 

interesting

 

Hm... sounds awful familiar. At least yours happened in your driveway and not going down the interstate. Locked my damn steering and gauges went kaputz. I totally freaked out and then it came back on. The whole time driving to work, that dumb symbol was lit (car with lock). It did this to me 3x and the stealerstupidship said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Hasn't done it in 2 years, though.

 

actually I was in the parking lot at work...in the sun...in 98 degree heat...for an hour.
