Does your key have a plastic top? It mighty have the transponder hidden in the top. See the pics on the site. Or somebody has done a partial bypass and cut a chipless key. This IS THE PROBLEM THO. I'm sure of it. If it days security. Its a guarantee. You can always return that bypass module off out doesn't work. I've done dozens of these bypasses. They work great.

Sorry for spelling. I'm doing this from my phone. Also, the fact that you can jump they starter proves that the starter is immobilized from the ignition due to the security. If the light is solid and not flashing, it means the TDM is bad. This is the security computer. This is where that bypass module saves you about 500 bucks Sorry for spelling.

Let me run something by you someone on another site told me that whoever owned the car before me probably disarmed the security system and when I had OReillys put the machine on it and reset the codes because the check engine light stayed on all the time and the oil light, OReillys told me they were old codes and they reset them then the car died. Could it be he reset them to manafactures codes and now the car thinks I am stealing it? and if so what do I do now if they already bypassed it and the codes were reset? Am I just screwed? desprate for a fix Let me run something by you someone on another site told me that whoever owned the car before me probably disarmed the security system and when I had OReillys put the machine on it and reset the codes because the check engine light stayed on all the time and the oil light, OReillys told me they were old codes and they reset them then the car died.

First, there are 3 parts in this system. The chip key, the ignition that reads it. and the TDM. (theft deterrent module/basically a computer) It is possible and quite common to bypass the key and ignition part of this system if the secuirty light is blinking. Problem is that leaves the TDM in the car still, and actively working. If the light is solid, its the TDM that has failed. Over 500 bucks for a new TDM plus labor. 190 if you wanted to bypass it. Those bypasses are a miracle for old GM's. and most people can install them all by themselves in a few hours. First, there are 3 parts in this system.

IS THERE ANYWAY FOR ME TO TELL IF SOMEONE HAS BYPASSED IT BEFORE ME? I ASSUME THEY DID SINCE MY KEY IS JUST A METAL KEY .. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR I FEEL SO STUPID..

The only way to tell would be to rip into the steering column and look at the ignition/lock cylinder. It would have the 2 orange wires cut and a resister would be placed between them, connecting them. I just looked up your vehicle, and it DOES have the passlock 1 system. so the security is most likely the problem. There should have been a chip on the key. Id say that somebody did an ignition bypass, and now your TDM has failed. The only way to tell would be to rip into the steering column and look at the ignition/lock cylinder.
