but

now the message comes up theft system problem, car may not restart.

from what i was able to search on this site it seems that there are 2 small wires by the ignition in the steering wheel column that may have become brittle and need to be replaced. ....does this make sense ? and if this is the case ....is it a hard repair?
this happened to me soon after buying my 2000 deville. seems to be a problem with the 2000, but I tried changing the battery and eventually found out it was the security system and the dealership fixed it for like $700-900. It wasn't very fun. hahaha I think it is a computer problem, not a physical problem.
