With the car RUNNING cut the yellow wire to the ignition switch from the group of three wires.
Make sure the car is RUNNING when the wire is cut.
Tape the ends and thats it.....the car will start first time from now on....as long as you don't mind not having anti theft.

My 1999 malibu theft light/abs/service engine lights are on after i try to start the car.

Hi Smokey, Seems as if you have a problem with the anti theft device on your vehicle. I suggest taking it for a diagnostic scan and having the system reset. Regards John

Theft syste,

No. The anti-theft system is inherent with the vehicles wiring. It can be bypassed, but I have no knowledge of how to do it.
