Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi Please Help Me... I Lost juice in battery and needed a jump. but when i got one the
guy put the cables on then told me to start it up. in the middle of doing so. he told me
to wait wait ... 'while turning the key' and i confused my car that barely even had
enough juice for the car computer to read my key. so basicly his action of making me
stop while turning to start it confused the car and i guess it thought it was being tamper
with or stole and the ANT THEFT came on and locked Down My Car. now it won't start.
i put a brand new battery in NOW I NEED TO KNOW PLEASE IN SIMPLE WORDS
HOW TO TAKE THIS ANTI THEFT OFF OR SHOULD I SAY GET IT TO UNLOCK MY
CAR

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME?

Hey, I had a problem like this, and I took it to our local shop. It was the PCM relay and a fuse. The PCM relay and the fuse are both very easy to get to located in the engine compartment fuse box. The PCM relay costs ~$30 and the fuse was also very cheap. So, before you take your vehicle to the dealer, CHECK THE PCM RELAY! It could save a lot of money. Hope this helps. -JC
