Theft System Problem, car may not restart
Car worked fine yesterday, when I went to start this morning, received "Theft System Problem, car may not restart". Is there a way to bypass the theft system? Any help would be appreciated.

$900? To do what? I am having the same problem with my '98. When I got home I parked it on the street in case it needs to be towed (easy access), but it seemed to restart fine. I have seen in other forums that the problem is almost always the wires at the end of the ignition cylinder. Would running a computer diagnostic reveal any helpful codes? If the cylinder wires is the case on mine what can I realistically expect to spend for repair at a non-dealership? Thank you.

That's probably the problem you have, that's what was wrong with mine. Youll probably have to take it to a dealer? I couldn't find independent mechanics who wanted to fool with replacing the switch because of the airbag. According to the videos the cost is somewhere between $500 and $900 bucks, depending on your area. Cost me $600 thereabouts. |
bad cylinder
It's time consuming and a little nerve racking, but I disabled the air bag and pulled the steering wheel to replace the multifunction switch.It's the turn signal, wipers, cruse, etc. if not familiar with the term I wasn't. Youtube had all necessary info. I also misplaced my keys.Called dealership to purchase a key, they informed me that the odds of getting the correct key were slim because cadillac has had issues with cylinders going bad. If you need help with the airbag I will walk you through the process
