Starting disabled due to theft system?

Hey buzzsaw,
yeah I found the fuse panels and cleaned the fuses. None of them were bad either. So I suppose the computer is bad because the theft system, radio, AC, fuel, temp ect dont work. The radio comes on sometimes even with the key out of the ign lol. It also must have a short because its draining the battery overnight. It seems like there are some major electrical probs with this car. Any advice. How much would it cost to overhaul the electrical system or install new computer. Im willing to fix it but I really dont want to spend alot more considering the milage on it. I would be lucky to get 2500-3000 for it even with it fixed :)

Hi, has anyone figured out your problem yet or are you still waiting as I am? Thank you, Vermauso

Hello Sir,

I am having the same problem. Can you tell me what you did to fix it?

I am getting the message start disabled due to theft system. One wire on key cylinder was cut and reconnected. Info
on display says to remove key and wait 3 mins, still no start condition. Locksmith
says to remove resistor from key and solder purple and white wire to one side and black and wht to other side. Will this work or howq do I find out what resistor out of 15 possible I have.

Do you think I can get those instructions also, like everyone else anti-theft. Thanks f you If could please help me out!

I am having this same problem with mine. Can you email me what to do to get this fixed? I am pretty lost when it comes to cars.

Thanks!

I need to know what one to buy? 1991 Seville.

Take battery out an let car set over night or for a good 3 to four hours, then try it, I have an 88 seville an it has the theft system also an some time when I go to start I'll turn the key an it won't make a sound so I'll pop the hood take the battery out for awhile then put it back an wammmm it starts.I guess you some how reset all the computer info doing this.

Please I need your help. I would like you to send me those instructions and the part number for the resister. If you possibly can. I would deeply appreciate it. I bought my car six months ago. Drove it one week and its been parked in my driveway ever since. After a new transmission, starter, battery, brain, and a fly wheel. I finally got to drive it today. I got home parked her now it will not start up due to this irritating.
Thank you

Working on a 91 seville and keys are lost. Owner ripped the column apart and trashed eveything

I replaced the battery on my cadi because it did not want to start hoping that was the problem. Since I installed the new battery I get an error message on control panel which says ( starting disabled due to theft system) I did exactly as instructed in manual which was to clean key, wait 3 minutes and try and restart, still nothing. I have followed many different suggestions including disconnecting the battery, unlocking both doors then starting, waiting 10 minutes with key in ignition partially turned over, still nothing. I don't have the money to take it to the dealers, if you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!

Wow, that was a relief, I got a great set of instructions and images of wiring inside the steering column and bought a $2.00 resistor from radio shack and voila it started!
If anyone has this problem and wants to try this solution, I still have the instructions.

Please email me the information, that was successful, in them repairing their Cadillac? Where is the resistor located.

I have tried both sets of keys. I don't have the money to take it to a car alarm place. I was out of work for 6 months and am barely working part time now. Why would Cadillac make this such I difficult issue that I have to take it somewhere to fix it? I'm very frustrated. Can you please tell me who can I talk to that would remember how to reset the factory security system so that I can get my car running again?

Can you email the instructions or mail to me please?
