Asked by Katbro10 Dec 29, 2016 at 09:10 PM about the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2004 grand prix. I had recently had my battery connectors replaced. & now 4 days later my car wouldn't start & so I simply got a jump & it started but now my light has come on saying "starting disabled due to theft system"? does this mean now it will not start again & I will continue to have this problem? also I have a brand new battery & it will not hold a charge if it sits longer then a 24 hour period. Ill need a jump after sitting, but yet if I drive the vehicle all day I don't have a probem? I'm confused....

Pit the the key in the ignition an turn to on position, leave the theft system enable light on for 10 mins. Turn an remove key then try to start again. If this dont work first time repeat 2 additional times.

Do not remove key during relearn process. Where do you people come from. Goggle "security bypass procedure using resistor". Add car "year, make, model." Basically find 3 wires from ignition under steering wheel. Or, if you're fancy, under glove box on a silver box after removing plastic panel. Middle wire clip, pin 6, it's labeled. Top and bottom, should be black and yellow. Blah blah blah. Study people. Read. Goggle it. It works, follow instructions.
