[@kaiprojectsdiy]

Check this new video out! This one is a follow up to the vid you are watching now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4GaaHmaprSNo6Msi=l3Hj5azXTv17383h

[@EmberlightYuki]

This actually just helped me get out of my work parking lot when I had no other option, thank you so much!!!

[@kaiprojectsdiy]

You are beyond welcome!! Sooo glad I could help

[@jeremyd1590]

The best video I've found on this topic! Actually taking a pause and watching your video allowed enough time for the system to reset after I had changed out a dead battery. Thank you my friend! 🙏

[@konnerswenson8926]

THE THIRD OPTION WORKED! My truck randomly doesn’t start for over a year now. I opened my door and it started. HAHAHA

[@chuckcarey]

The door open trick worked kept me from being stuck many miles from home you rock thank you for the information

[@kaiprojectsdiy]

LOVE IT!! I'm glad it helped! Thanks!!

[@07riproxy]

Thanks the 2nd one worked for me, it just happened to me now on my 05 Colorado . 👍🏽

[@queenofstorms3113]

This worked!!! omg had this problem this morning... I found you this really work!!!

[@scottlavoie5405]

Ok so I am sharing this info with anyone who has been having this problem with bypassing the anti-theft system in your GM cars, I have a 06 H3 and have been dealing with this BS for a while! My H3 recently has been back to acting stupid and none of these tips work, they sort of worked at one point but not anymore! Anyhow, I stumbled on this trick recently out of frustration! So if you go to start your car and it won't start, turn the key in the ignition back to off, place your foot on the gas pedal but don't press down, start your car normally and the second it begins to crank but won't start, just tap the gas pedal, just a quick tap! I have been doing this now every time it won't start and it cranks over every time so far! Hope this helps.

[@dualgoods]

I just wanted to say thank you for this video I've struggled with this issue I've got an 07 Colorado and truth be told I struggled with it since a year after I bought the truck it is currently 2023 still going strong thank God you have no idea how much this is help me

[@mdcervantes]

Thank you, second option worked like a charm.

[@kaiprojectsdiy]

awesome!!!

[@williamsmith7076]

Thank you for the video. I was able to start an old lady’s truck stuck at the gas pump just now. Her son who was going to have to drive an hour to help her also thanks you.

[@bryannalacienda8224]

Thank you! My bfs Malibu was having this issue and the 2nd option worked immediately

[@msantana1014]

Does GM have a recall about this or even care? This is a major issue…

[@aidenlittle2617]

Nope no recall, and they are probably are never going to because it is an older model and it doesn’t endanger anyone like if it where air bags. But they definitely need to do something about it because I have gone to mechanic after mechanic and there is just nothing they can do.

[@Broccoli2Blitzd]

Yeah I see a lot of videos on cutting the security wire but… I reaaally don’t wanna do that

[@Dickson-Ormous]

Nope. They suck

[@Pristine_Auto_Works_LLC]

Gm has a technical service bulletin for this. It causes a code B2960 code in the BCM. The fix is to replace the ignition switch assembly and do the 30 minute relearn process.

[@georgeradford3020]

Thank you , you saved me hundreds of dollars from buying a new starter, your trick #one started my truck . God Bless you

[@TheProfessionalPR20]

God bless you. The second option works. Took less than 5 min. But had to turn the switch 3 times from off position to start.

[@kaiprojectsdiy]

Thanks for the comment and the info!!! Glad I could assist

[@odessamidland]

Friend you got me out of a bind. I was stuck at a gas station with a new battery and a full tank of gas at night and what do you know? It would not start. Saw your video and the last option worked for me. Thanks a bunch friend.

[@nadirahlovely8568]

Sir you just saved my whole life 🙌🏾 🙏🏾 ❤️

[@Austin_XXX]

SIR Its A MAM, MAM

[@kaiprojectsdiy]

Awesome! Glad I was able to help!

[@tommoore6237]

I have used the last one on my 2009 colorado twice. Have not had a failure. I have also lubricated and cleaned the keyhole. In retrospect, 15 or 20 minutes of cleaning may have been method 1 instead.

[@mortalgabsanchez1530]

[@Bishopsboxingclub]

Thank you very much! The second option worked for me

[@brianrainey3366]

I dealt with this, And the first 2 worked for a while, I eventualy had the body control module reprogrammed and it has never happened since. Also stopped throwing a code for a faulty accelerator pedal position sensor.

[@davidzorra2422]

Yes all good info

[@johnwehr3152]

Had the same issue with mine. Replaced the ignition and it stopped doing it

[@lalogonzalez7803]

GRACIAS AMIGO.

[@rayshaunhill1]

Glad it worked for everyone I wish it did for my 2015 Malibu

[@Tyhir291]

Thank you brother

[@timc6245]

This happens to my 05 colorado once or twice a year. My mechanic suggested next time locking the truck with the fob, then unlock the driver door with key and try starting it. I haven't tried that yet, but next time. It could be the ignition not recognizing the chip in the key (fluke), so waiting for the system to reset may be necessary.

[@knifeguy831]

Thank you sir you're a lifesaver I owe you a nice cold beer

[@enriquegutierrez8817]

Is there not a way to keep this happening in the first place?

I been trying to figure this out too I have an 09 colorado

[@ronniehurst6454]

@@s.s.5936 don’t buy a chevy

[@saltheart2023]

The 10 Min is the "Wait Time" for the Pass Lock to Reset itself once you get the flashing lock --- whether you leave the key in the On Position or not, I don't think it matters (I take the key out now) --- be careful with the key in the On Position as the Headlights are On if in Auto Mode and this can run down your battery (that was my "Ah Ha" Moment one morning when it Pass Locked Multiple times on me -- I left key "On" several cycles and low battery -- battery had to sit for 15 mins to gain enuf starting charge to try again) --- so if you choose to just Wait -- it is a set 10 mins from time of flashing (you can set a timer) and then try again whether key is in ignition or not... It may fail again, which would mean ANOTHER 10 min wait... I have a 2007 and I have been having more frequent issues of late - will go check with my dealership to see how much it would be to replace the module -- or I will disable it manually if not reasonable to fix --- but that will be a last resort! I will continue to try the Door Open method but have not had any luck with it yet. :-) Love my 2007 Colorado!

[@sergionavarro3860]

This happens to me and it’s annoying. I have to wait 10 minutes and sometimes it’s 115 in Phoenix az. Anyway to just remove it all together?

[@johnreid4256]

Mine's exactly 10 minutes on the way and then it usually cranks but he recently it's been doubling up I got to where I was going out and cranking it 10 minutes earlier and when it didn't crank it didn't put me behind and then it doubled up where I waited 10 and then waited another 10 and it would crank doesn't do it every time but sometimes and then this morning it was three times in a row have you had that problem and also while I was watching the video I decided to push the unlock button on my keypad which lit up my lights and then it crank right away have you tried that I'm going to start trying it to see if it was a fluke or not

[@johnreid4256]

Mine to exactly 10 minutes and up to 3 try's 30 minutes is a long time need you need to be somewhere I have to leave it running a lot now

[@jacobjolley4361]

I have the same issue. What is the cause and what do i need to replace to solve this issue. Thank you

[@nathanmccumber8965]

Did you figure it out.

[@LuisJimenez-rf7lg]

Thanks it helped me 9:09pm

[@eduardomartinez-bk2wx]

On my 07 Colorado I would put it in neutral and that also works. Or I would disconnect the ground split connector from the passanger side and connected back again, that also works fine for me.

[@Kenpachi904]

The third option works so well thank you so much you're an angel💪🏿😊😊😊😊

Worked like a champ (option 1) and it didn't even take 10 minutes. Thanks and have a good one brotha. 👍🏾

I’m having this same problem but the passlock light is staying solid. I have a 5 speed manual so I can get it rolling and dump the clutch and get it going but then the passlock light stays on while driving. It’s always solid and never flashing, any ideas?

thank you I got this on my school bus that I drive and was very concerned about it not starting at all

I’ve had my ignition changed out 3 times. I’m kinda tired of dealt with this cause I’m late to work over it..

[@devil2070]

Do you know what would fix the issue thanks

[@Pristine_Auto_Works_LLC]

The correct fix is to replace the ignition switch assembly according to GM’s Technical service bulletin. After replacing it you have to perform the 30 minute relearn process. Got a vehicle in my shop right now with this problem. His issue is after driving it and turning it off it won’t start. Has to wait 10 minutes to start it up. After 10 minutes on the dot that’s when the system resets itself and allows the vehicle to restart.

[@phatboitex2cali]

It helped me out but why does it show that light!? Like does anyone know what that's supposed to mean

[@joekelley7649]

So weird my Chevy Uplander had the light solid said I needed the service the security system but mine fired up no problem and I couldn't figure out how to get that light off until your second solution

[@raymondjohn3396]

Just now have the passlock steady light on 2006 chevy cobalt LT after I replace the Starter, replaced the relay of Starter but nothing.. Its the first I ever experience. I never own a chevy and now Im am.

Weirdest thing first time this has ever happened to me and my old five Chevy Colorado AKA diamond. Thank you very much the third time worked for me. I was kind of in a pain didn't have the first two options. Just wanted to say thank you for the video and now I know what to do if this ever happens again. To all the little truck owners out there.

@@marlinlonghair7379 yes. I took the key part off cuz it was broken. It has to be attached to the rest of the fob.

I've done everything on my 1998 chevy s10 nothing freaking works. It's been a year. I cant figure it out. The truck is fing useless. It throws the alarm code so it's the alarm. I'm so fed up.

[@jaked8515]

Thanks so much

[@-Just-Jay-]

Hello. I had such a problem. Chevy impala 2014 did not start intermittently. The ignition clicked, the anti-theft mode turned on. The problem was in attaching the battery ground wire to the car body. The nut was badly tightened from the factory! The connection got very hot and that was the problem. Look for it along the path of the ground wire from the battery.

[@nivisky]

I just had this issue, “Theft Deterrent system”. I used my key fob and lock button on the door. What causes this issue? Is it to prevent someone from stealing your car.

[@29dotailyn45]

Second option worked perfectly for our GMC canyon 2011✨

[@HulihulioeVaotamanu]

The theft deterrent system is armed and the engine will not start. To restore the system ,turn the ignition key to the lock position then to the on position,now press the lock or unlock door button on the driver's door,then turn on the ignition, the car should start.

[@itsyagirljulie4746]

Does it usually make a clicking noise like battery's dead ?

[@kaiprojectsdiy]

Mine sounds like it tries to start but will not

[@javonwingfield5079]

What if it not flashing ? Does that mean i have another problem on my hands ?

I have a 2016 Camaro SS and I just programmed a new key fob as a 2nd key which works after programming it...but my anti thetf light is on but not blinking... the car does start but the light is on how can I remove the anti-theft dash light?
