Hello guys Im having a little issues with my baby ( my car) lol So here's what's going on I was driving and my car died on me, got a boost and was good to go after about 10 mins of driving it died on me again tried to start and it said " stater disabled due to theft" or something along those lines I tried reprogramming my key using the reset procedure, it took the message off the HUD but it's still not starting. I checked my battery and it's connections, the fuses, and I believe the starter is good because I hear a click in the dash. Any help is greatly Appreciated
 


Now when you say you checked your battery did you have it checked at the parts store or just did it yourself with a multimeter. Usually when you get the warning messages it has to do with the battery,alternator or the grounds I would stop by the parts store and have the alt and battery tested.
 
good one. could be a # of things.

bad starter, bad ignition harness, bad grounds on the tranny bell housing stud. sounds like a bad ground somewhat.

when it died was the battery dead? or did cranking it make it die? and thats why you needed a jump start? or you got just the click and the jump let it crank and fire up?

maybe unhooking the battery for a hour will reset the security issue.

also check the power cable to the starter, seen them come loose on the site here. for no reason. rare but it can happen.
 
Recently the car started after awhile it did it again I am so lost on how to fix it, is there somewhere that shows me all my car grounds ?
 
There should be a ground on the trans case, one right on the body of the car right below the fuse box and then there's a small ground right on the coil bracket and should be sandwiched between the front header and the coilpack bracket assembly.
 
tranny bell housing bolt has a few grounds on it, and the battery ground. its on the bumper side of the tranny, above the starter.
 


stand at the driver side of the car hood open, look under the cross over pipe at the bell housing bolts, you'll see wires bolted there.
 
if you don't know the status of your battery under load have it checked. or try to put a charger on it for awhile and see if the car starts.
