2008 Saturn Vue 3.6 L security system woes solved
OK, We have owned thei Saturn since 2008! Sometimes it will not crank. It will not even click. I have tried everything? I put in a new computer module. I put in a new alternator. I ordered a new starter and was about to put it in? Well, in my testing, I maybe go out and it would start. Maybe not. Then I thought it was when it was cold in the am? Well a couple times i went out and the car had locked itself! When it would start the icon for the anti-theft system would appear on the dash. This happened a couple times. I read the book and it is not clear if the icon should be on or if you can turn it off? Well, then I started to lock the car each time with the remote and click it twice. Then when I went to try it I unlocked it with the remote. I got in, closed the door, turned the key on and waited a few seconds for the dash lights to reset? The anti-theft icon went away! I now try to crank it and it starts immediately! I have completed this test now, probably 50 times at all different hours and it always starts immediately! I will keep testing and see if in a couple week, it ever fails again? Maybe I have been lucky this time. I di nothing else, no wiring moves, no changes, no nothing other than the procedure to lock, unlock, reset, start! This is easy to try and I hope it helps someone out? This has been beyond aggravating!
