New ignition and will not start
Hello All,
I have a 2000 Alero and I just installed a new Ignition Switch w/ Key. The install went good, but now the car will not start. I'm guessing it has to to with security so it disconnected the negative from the battery for about 5 mins and tried again with no success. Here is a link to what I installed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...052489966&rd=1 Any help or idea would be great. |

My daily driver is a 1999 LeSabre. Last year it wouldn't start and the dealer changed out the ignition key/cylinder combination. Don't know if there was anyting else to it but the computer may need to be told there was a change made, other wise it is protecting the car thinking someone is trying to hot wire it, maybe? don't know....

if the dealer was "paying attention", he would have used a key/lock combo with the same resistance value pellet. you can measure this if you still have one of the old keys.

Disconnecting the battery on your car won't clear any memory. A 2000 Alero has an OBD 2 computer with Keep Alive Memory. When you replaced the ignition cylinder did you have a Chiltons, or Haynes manual as a reference?

Does your key have a pellet style Passlock resistor chip or is this the system where there's a magnet in the lock cylinder itself?
