FOR ALL WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.. IN THE CAR MANUAL THEY GIVE YOU THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION OF TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION AND WAITING FOR 10 MINUTES... THEN TURN IT OFF..WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN TRY STARTING THE CAR..LOOK IN YOUR MANUAL

before you go rewiringyour ignition,try this ,take a piece of fine sandpaper and roll it up to a thin piece and lightly insert it in key hole in and out to clean off buildup on contacts ,it sure worked on mine, then insert key and start car,,,,jb

Your pass lock has failed. You need a new ignition switch + tumbler. Don't forget to do the re calibration for it. (leave key to the on position till the theft light goes off)

my car did this to, its ur ignition switch

[Mrentertainerd3]

my shit did it sat,sun,mon,and tues..im thinking about getting a remote start

[xadam2dudex]

@Mrentertainerd3 that is the only permanent fix ..u also need to get the passlock I or II bypass module..u can change out the ignition switch but the problem will return 6 mo or a yr later

hold the crank down til it starts...i own a 2004 impala and that started to happen to me my friend told me to hold the key to the start position until it cranks and turns on.. takes about 10 seconds

omg mine started doing this junk about two months ago..so aggrevating

[gsotton]

hey try putting the car in park and then start it.it won't start if you have it in gear.

Anyone know how to fix it ive tried the battery trick I cant even go into the settings in the radio

[CallinMeUpward]

your gear selelctor says its in 2nd, i accidently turned it off in drive once. I placed it in park and then it would start.

This is VERY common and easy to fix. It's gen 3 of GM's anti-theft (they are now using gen 9). First, when it happens, put the park brake on (so the headlights don't come on, 1 click will do). Then turn on the key for 10 minutes. After that the car will start. To completely bypass the Passlock2 system, go to a remote start retailer and have them install a bypass.

The car needs to be in park or neutral

[blkfreedom03]
