1994 Oldsmobile delta 88 Theft Warning Light

• Comments ⇓

Problem with my 1994 Oldsmobile 88 Royal Ls 3.8L V6. Security Light Flashes. Battery had a dead cell. Car would not start. Swapped battery after about 24 hours of car being dead. Now battery good but still won't start.

Pass-key II Tricks found on Internet. This is a Pass-key II system. My battery had a bad cell so i replaced it. After that the cars security light flashes and the car will not crank over to start. I guess really my question would be how can i reset the security system on my Oldsmobile.

I have tried turning ignition over for 10 minutes 3 times and had no luck wkith that procedure. Tried unlocking both doors. Also I DO NOT have the remote for the security system. I haven't done anything else to this car. Mechanical wise. Thanks so much for your help.

ANSWER:

I think you may be a little confused about the theft system on your car. This system with the chip in the key does not rely on any reset like newer models where you leave the key on for 10 minutes, etc. There is no relearn procedure. vIt sounds like you have an aftermarket system since you referred to a remote.

The common problem on your system is broken wires on the back side of the ignition cylinder. Over time these 2 little wires break, and the module cannot read the key pellet. Tilting the wheel up and down sometimes causes the wires to contact again and let the car start, but that is just a temporary fix that wwill not last and the actual repair needs to be done.

Sounds like you need to have the ignition lock cylinder replaced. We have a picture of a removed cylinder ,description of removal and the wires on the site if you would like me to sent you it. See this link for a picture of the wire problem i mentioned. You would have to take off the steering wheel and lock plate to get the cylinder out, so if you dont have any steering column tools, this may not be something you would try yourself.
