The anti theft lock symbol should go out when you rotate ignition key from OFF position to RUN position. If it remains lit, then the anti theft immobilizer is preventing engine start.

SOURCE: Anti-theft

the valet switch you have to find this in your truck press and hold should disengage the anti theft module

SOURCE: cannot disable anti theft alarm driving neighbours mad

There should be a relay under the hood for the security system, if you can not find it, try jacking the front of the car up, it should have a sensor that tells it that it is being towed and should turn off, unless of course it has a bad wire that is grounding out.

SOURCE: 98 saturn sl1 won't start

If the problem occurs after the car has been driven long enough to reach normal operating temperature, the problem is the starter. If the 'no crank' occurs cold, retest the battery.

SOURCE: Hello accent 2004 with anti theft system battery flat anti theft

Have you verified this system is running the battery down? The system you describe is called the Remote Keyless Entry System (Electronic Time/Alarm & Control System - ETACS Module). It cannot be 'disconnected' without disabling other systems (intermittent wipers, Chime bell, Door Warning, Dimming Off Room Lamp, Seat Belt indicator, remote power door lock/unlock system, etc.)

2007 Saturn sky won't crank

New starter or not, I would check the starter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNLcW7FhQFw

I don't think it is the battery or alternator. Fuses, relay, ignition switch, neutral safety switch or even the anti-theft system could be the source of the problem if it is not the starter. But the procedure above might be a shortcut identifying the problem before you go further.

Car wont turn over 07 Saturn Aura

Question edited to Saturn 'Aura', rather than 'area'.

If it won't turn over, the most likely thing is a flat battery.

Maybe the Starter Motor.

Maybe the anti-theft. Is the red light on?

Anti theft won't reset. Battery won't charge. Tries to start on it's own.

The system may be activating because there is not enough power in the battery?
Check the batter connections and power cables.
Are the posts clean and tight.
Are the cables going to the battery, alternator and starter in good condition. Check to see if the insulation on the cables have not worn away some ware along the cables and shorting out.

03 for explorer not starting turn the key have full power hear klicks from distribution block but no crank

The starter solenoid is mounted on the starter. Clicking from the distribution block must be the starter relay. Swap in another relay from the block into that socket to see if the relay is the problem.

2003 Saturn Vue with a identity anti theft system. Replaced my battery a few months ago. Couple weeks ago noticed a little difficulty starting up. Last week wouldn't start just clicking noise. Jumped...

Anti-theft system has nothing to do with it . Battery cables , maybe , Park neutral safety switch possibly ! With anti-theft system problem you wouldn't a click or anything , that is if the anti-theft disables fuel or the starter . Plus the SECURITY light would be on if it were a anti-theft system problem . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop that knows how to do starter circuit testing >
Starter Voltage Drop
How to voltage drop test starter motor circuit

And what's this identity anti theft system ? No such thing ! The vehicle has a content theft an vehicle theft deterrent system !
This system disables fuel not cranking of the engine. The VCM/PCM will not disable the fuel due to any BCM message for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
If the VCM/PCM does not receive the same password from the BCM as the last learned one, the vehicle will start and then stalls due to the Fuel Lockout.

Saturn sl2 automatic...put a starter in..still won't start..all dummy lights up and battery is good...go to turn the key and nothing...help..

Most of the time this is caused by the anti theft system. It disables the starter and leaves you stuck. This is very common on GM vehicles. Read up on this link for info, pictures, and "do it yourself" solutions to the problem.
