GM has whats called "on board programing". You are on the right track. However, when you were saying "you will keep doing it until it starts". That's not necessary. You need to turn the key on for 10 minutes then back off. Repeat two more times. Three ten minute cycles is exactly how it works. Please understand I am not trying to criticize your video. I am simply explaining how it works. In the mean time, you did a great job and clearly helping others. Great video my friend....

I have a 2013 Chevy equinox and my car lock symbol was on and I tried putting it in the start position and it was on for about 40 minutes and that didn’t work so I called a locksmith and they replaced my key and set up a new key fob and then I tried it and then it workedbut then the locksmith said that it would come back, but this video was super helpful so I just want to share my experience in case it would help somebody else

The anti-theft can really be a pain in the butt to trouble shoot.

Everyone is saying put the second key in I put my second key in it worked for a couple of weeks and now the second key is doing the same thing

So, find an old key and problem solved?

You're a king amongst men!!!

That happened to me and at the end i just needed a new battery

Mine isn’t flashing and you can leave key on for days it won’t go out

Do you need to wait for 10 minutes an do all that stuff before light turns off and than insert 2nd key? Or you have just use the 2nd key after nothing else worked?

So do you have to have the second key 🔑? What if you dont

This worked for me

i just tried everything you said, and it worked and self programed my new keyfob. i repeated the steps 3 times then after the fourth it worked. thanks a lot

subscribed love a man that fixes problems

2011 Cruze...thank you for the info....sure helped me out of a jam..

Omg bro you just saved my life this works guys!

Thanks man this helped a lot.

I have a 2006 chevy cobalt. About a week ago my locks were popping up and down without me touching the locking switch. Now the locks dont work at all. I have a yellow theft light up now. Whenever I go open the doors the alarm goes off. Then it disappears whenever I turn the car on. Whats going on with my car??

Regardless of your particular concern.

Will this work for 2012 chevrolet equinox? Also I can't get the key out

My Chevy Malibu 2010 actually turned on I turned it off and back on and the light erased ?
