So i am thinking that i need a new ignition cyl. twice in the past 10 to 12 months my 2002 ss will have a no crank no start. I will try jumping it and tapping the starter but nothing will happen. then out of no where i will turn the key and it will start right up. oh and once in a while the security light will come on while driving.

So what do you think. replace the ignition or just try to relearn it?
thanks for any help.

 

@ PSSON24

Could you please send me pics of the ignition cylinder change? I'm thinking it might fix my problem - my security system randomly goes off (lights/horn going off)

 

Good luck man, this thread is more than 3 years old...

 

Thought I would try..

 

Samehere because I do need the photos as well. Even though the instructions are well written, I already know how to relearn the system... I do all GM cars at work! Now installing that, thats another story...lol
