Re: Cannot start 1999 Lumina
Whoops, missed the part about the alarm light on the dash.
Most of those when they locked out would reset only after being locked and unlocked with the keyless remote. We had a lot of owners run into this dillema because they'd bought the car used, and never had a remote for it. The first time someone tripped the system by tampering with it while locked up, the system locked out starter operation until reset.
I used to start them with the old "Screwdriver across the starter terminals" trick we always did when Ford starter relays went bad. That will get it started if the security system is locked out. Since you havenoticed the fuel pump runs, there is no fuel cutoff with that system.
Great deterrent, when any fool with a screwdriver can defeat it. (sarcasm)
It may reset once running, I can't remember. If not you'll have to disable the aftermarket security system or try to obtain a remote if you don't have one...
