I have a 2009 cts & this video helped me get the key out, I used a flat head screw driver

Man, thank you so much! Got the key out of a 2007 CTS doing this

Thank you for this video! Seems to be a common cts problem.. I have a 2007 with less than 90000 miles. Brand new battery. Very frustrating. I get mine to reset and then a couple months later it will start with the security system/traction control light and key won't come out again. Also have no gas or temp guage but speedometer and tac work. I've talked to other cts owners and theirs won't even start when it happens or they have reduced power. Mine at least starts. Talked to couple people that replaced ecm and having same problem still. Also when you buy new ecm even the supposed preprogrammed ones they still need to be flashed at a dealership. Costing anywhere from 120 to 200 dollars I've found in my area. Crazy!

goood stuff
does it take away the problem long term or do i need to do anything else?

[johnpike]

Thank you!!
Worked like a charm. Greatly appreciate your insights what a wonderful trip… Thanks again

[gregh]

Not sure why or how, but it worked! Thanks. You didn't mention that when you jumpered the purple wire the engine would crank, that was a shocker.

[mikebond]

Thanks Randyman.
I would have never figured this one out.
It works!

[alyssadavis]

Dude you are a lifesaver thank you so much for making this video

[justabouthadit]

You totally saved the day!! Thanks to you and your mechanic friend!!!! We need more excellent people like you in this world!

[briandominguez]

Thanks man ! I was scared the airbag was gonna explode on my face but it worked ! Lol

If this doesn’t work what I tried was checking the fuse in the back seat on the passenger side labeled rim/ign sw

[dubz]

Could that happen after big cold weather? My batterie died i charged it back but car does exactly this

[Mistaatedford]

Why jump that wire?.. just to start it? can you not just jump the starter relay pins to start it
