How do i reset the anti-theft system?
Asked by Cavaliermike Apr 01, 2012 at 05:04 PM about the 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I disconnected the battery and now all it does is turn over.... I've tried everything but taking it to a dealership
(apparently not needed) so if anyone has anything new that hasn't been posted yet would be much appreciated
thanks
