Please Help Soon - Security Problem - 7/29/2007 8:41:28 AM    anthem777   Posts: 13 Joined: 5/6/2007 Status: offline Yesterday I left my truck in my driveway for app. 10 min. and did not apply the security system. I came back, attpempted to start the vehicle, and it seemed as tho the power in my truck had been turned off. My dad belives the security system thought the start was a threat to the vehicle and cut off the power. If ANYONE knows how to reset this, please let me know...for this is a major inconvieninse. Symptoms: Lock/Unlock remote doesn't seem to operate. When I put the key in ignition it makes the ring noise, but when I turn the ignition nothing happens. If I pump the break a number of times the gauges spin. Thanks, Colt Extra Info: 99' Silverado 5.3L Battery is fully charged < Message edited by anthem777 -- 7/29/2007 8:54:41 AM > Post #: 1
