Thumbs up My 97 Malibu Anti-Theft Start-Up Problem Fixed Uing Resistor Method!

Some are BCM related inwhich any sort of bypass won't work. Also, even if the simple "cut the yellow wire" trick worked it eventually would fail especially when you have to change the car's battery or if the battery went dead.

My 97 Malibu anti-theft start-up problem had been annoying me for a very long time. This week, I fixed it using your method!

I started my car first, then cut the yellow wire, measured the reistance value using a multimeter, found a same value resistor and connected it as instructed. The anti-theft light was gone, and no start-up problem since then.

The only difference is that the resistor that I used is 6.25KOhm.
