Starting Disabled


Emery

Recommended Posts

Having no start condition with my 96 sts. Anyone know of a way to override. I want to confirm that the switch is bad before buying another. I've WD-40'ed it, contact cleaned and checked fuses. Any help on a quick and/or cheap fix would be appreciated.

"Quick and cheap" ..Hmm..sounds like the resistor pellet on your key may have opened, or cracked, changing the resistance the security system is calibrated for?...Got an extra key for that car?

Another Q&C..try moving the gear lever in and out of park, 'wiggle' it in park ,and try again. Sometimes the PRNDL switch becomes intermittent, locking the start signal out.

'93 STS.. opened, dropped, wide...fast.

Does you key have the pellet in it?

If I remember correctly it has the resistor in the ignition switch. If not you can try and fix this yourself if you feel comfortable playing with wires under the dash.

You can disable it altogether if you want. Let me know, I'll post how (it's good for remote starting too)

What diagnostic codes are stored? That will provide a clue as to where to begin troubleshooting.

I had a 95 chevy Lumina.

When the Pass-Key system failed it would start in Nuetral.

In your case it was most likely not the pass key but rather neutral safety switch.
