Cobalt theft light, NOT a key issue! 

So in other words for all of us having the same problem with the anti theft light you still basically left us with no solution.

Don’t worry about the camera. Tips & tricks, Information and education are what these videos are about.

Haha wasting no time! Thanks for bringing us in on this one, nice find!

Im really glad to finally being getting caught up on your videos, who would've thought 5 years ago that my biggest complaint would be not enough time to keep up on them all. You are doing great here and with TBT. Inputs and outputs is one of my mantras, really helps to organize the process and keep you going. Another excellent video Keith. Keep them coming.

The uscope and AES wave kit are the bomb. But your tips are great too. You need to have the tools and the skills. You got both!

Father-in-law was having this issue with his sisters Cobalt. He did what you said and got it started! Thanks for the video!

I fixed rhis problem for $10. My car fob wouldnt lock and unlock the doors. That's what turns off theanti theft. I got a new one off amazon. Changed the mircochip board from the old to the new. Worked like q charm!

Just glad to see your back thanks for the vid .

Thank you Keith. Good job. I appreciate your videos. Have a blessed and safe week.

Im probably just stupid, but you said "that's all it needs" What is that exactly? A new ground? Lol this video got me Very close to fixing the problem yet very far

That little scope is pretty useful for these kind of quick tests!

Quick & dirty,bring in another one 🚓🚗🚕🚑🚐🚐

Nice find Keith 👍... keep them coming cheers

Can anybody tell me what it needed? I thought I was getting close to finding out..I have this problem now..I think

Great video Keith,keep them coming

I might do some poking before buying yet another key...great video

Very nice job. Instead of looking for the source u created one. Proving everything else is fine. It should b pretty easy figuring out where the power is missing from.

I thought this was one of the most confusing, inept help video on car craft......and then it worked...my daughter's car now working. haha.

Great & to the point video!

Keith, good job and thanks for all the info ur sharing.cheeeers

In out and a wrench... Always wondered what that is

I think diagnosing the voltage is useful in this matter. However on the use of instruments could have been better.

I started to have problem with the 🔒 locks symbol and after waiting sometime more sometimes less time it will go off the symbol and start but 3 weeks ago I took my car to the shop for other issues check and the car started doing the lock symbol problem and won't start, the car stay there for 3 weeks. everytime I call or go they gave me a different excuse until yesterday that they said they check the key and it was not the key and they told me it was the computer and they charge me $35 for a relay and $250 for reset the computer total of $285 plus my car 3 weeks in the shop.. it was so many contradictory version that i feel like they just trick me and charge me for something that probably wasn't the real solution....

good to video pls what is the name of the scope you are using thanks alot

Whats the name of that obd2 reader you have great video by the way

Happened to my car and my key is snapped in the ignition but I have been driving it like that for weeks and I am 100 percent sure it is from rain getting in the window and shorted something out cuz if I leave the key in for a couple seconds and try again it starts and sometimes the light will still be on while I am driving :(uhggg

just wait till they start running these periferials off +5v fed by some other module. you wont be able to do that!!!

Nice good job 👍🏻

Thanks for the video.

would the signal on the green wire be a nice square wave.

I tried the jumper wire to the obd port but that didn’t work. I tried resetting the passlock but that didn’t work. Any ideas?

It would be great if I could go home. But I'm stuck in the parking lot at work at 2am.

I need your help please i have a 2005 chevy cobalt 2.2 and when I insert my car and turn it over to the Acc the dashboard n headlights come on and the radio and dome light wont come on and then when I try to crank it over everything cuts out and all I see is the anti-theft padlock light and so I went and bought a voltage tester and ended up buying a new battery cause I had my battery tested and it was only at 26% was from 11/2017 and I went ahead n had them charge it for me and when I picked it up they said it was putting out 12.6 volts n so I hooked it back up and replaced the starter relay and the starter fuse cause the starter fuse had a 60 in it and it was suppose to b a 30 so Idk if that could have caused this issue but yesterday I went and tried my car again n I had no power at all so I had to use my moms car and I jumped her battery to mine just to get power to pop open my trunk to get to the battery and I just went ahead n bought a new battery n still same issues oh and when I replaced the starter relay I used a paper clip to connect to of the pins to see if it would try n start n it did and it actually jumped at me cause I forgot that it was in gear its a manual and so I havent gotten a chance to check the other two pins cause I just got the voltage tester yesterday n I'm lost on what setting to use unfused or fused and then which setting to turn the dial to if u could help me I would appreciate it

Thank u for showing this one. for me , I just disconnected the connector, waited 10 secs reconnect, then started it up. the last time this happened to me was a couple years ago and I was stuck work for 2 hrs doing the key relearn, disconnect and reconnecting batteries and swapping keys before it started out of nowhere

So what did it need? To stay bypassed

thank u for this

Just leave the wire there it’s fixed! 😂😂 awesome find. Did the LS get paid?

Witch fuse is the bad one ???

What??

I left my key in the car ignition for bit too long turn to (acc). Will the antitheft light (🚘🔒)go off after the 10 minute wait time. I really am desperate right now I need for this car to start

So what was the fix???

Any way to do it without the orange tool??!!mine has the theft light and the radio is off.Called locksmith and till have not gotten it fixed PLEASE HELP!

My 06 cobalt is doing the same thing.

Where at in Oklahoma are u located? Because I could use some help getting my colbalt to start.

Passlocked leave key on until light goes out turn off repeat turn hazard lights on after light goes out second time start it up run for 5 minits shut off start back up it will do that everytime the battery goes dead

Nice job Keith ll Lol

So what’s it need if this bypass fixed the problem?? My car done it also

So what was the problem? Lol

I have a 2006 chevy cobalt. Same issue. This didn't work.
