I appreciate your videos!.. they really show how to replace the ACM computer.. a lot of these videos just show people just wanted to make videos they don't tell you how to do I appreciate it..
What about for a 2008 Cadillac cts. My remote was paired before and out of nowhere the viper 7756V remote got unpaired and when I open my door the alarm goes off and it doesn't read the remote, and when I try to pair it it says pair failed.. what do I. Do
06 CTS light stays on, key stuck, and won't start. Tried purple wire and ground, nothing, tried pulling fuse 5 times. Nothing is working. What do I do?
I don't have a comment but I do have a question I need to know which oil pan goes to a 2008 Cadillac CTS a 3.6 engine can you use the VIN number to make sure you get the right one
Ok so i had an issue with my car to where it would drive ok but it would activate the anti theft and traction control then the gas and temperature gauge would stop working while driving then ac would stop blowing cold lot of places would tell me it needed a computer but me been a single dad it has been a struggle to where I can’t afford a new one but I kept on seen if I could get it to work but no luck till I unplugged the anti thef fuse it’s been 3 days and haven’t had the same issues just thought I would let others know maybe it helps y’all out my car is a Cadillac 2006 cts 3.6l
Thank you for the comment & yes hopefully it does help someone out , you never know how much money people can save and that’s the whole purpose of this TH-cam channel 👍
@@uselessamerican984That’s just for radio has to be programmed to work it won’t keep car from starting. This here is a issue with the chip in the key or ither the immo ring around the ignition
My bro has a 2006 cts 3.6 and it's doing this he's done the bypassing of the starter relay by using a jumper wire and he says it still won't start. Dash lights come on when key is turned over but won't crank at all
Don't pull the ecm fuse out like others are saying it can destroy the module when you do so. Use a tec2 scanner or find someone with one and do it properly I'm a mechanic I had this same issue with mine. I currently have another one with that same problem I'm gonna turn off the PK3 system
So I’m having the some problem on the 03 cts but my key is stuck in the ignition and the anti lock is j showing not flashing any advice on how to fix this?
Grab a flat heat go underneath your steering wheel and undo the flat head plastic screw, push a pen up there while taking the key out and it should come off just did it today because someone tried to break into my car haha
The guy I bought it from has the big fuse taken out of there and has me turn the key on then take pliers and set it in the fuse hole and it starts. But now my battery is dead and I’m having troubles getting it started.
Your battery is dead and you need ti bypass the anti theft, just dealt with this again yesterday. Put the jumper cables on just like your jumping a battery. Make sure the other car your using to jump is on so your actually charging your dead battery. Wait at least a couple minutes. Then Take a piece from a wire hanger about a foot long. Make sure the wire is exposed on the ends of each side of the piece of wire hanger, some have paint or a coating on them. Rub it off on the ends if it does. Put the key in the ignition and turn to the right and leave it there, get out and LEAVE DOOR OPEN (you will get locked out if you don’t!) then take that piece of wire hanger and go to the hood of the car and put one end on the base of that purple wire he shows. Keep it there touching the base of the purple wire, it has to be on the base where you see the metal so the wire hanger is actually touching the metal. Then with the other end of the piece of wire hanger touch the metal part he shows in the video. Both ends of the piece of wire hanger need to be touching the metal in each spot. If the keys turned all the way to the right and your holding it there it should start right up. I had a mechanic do what your saying yours did but this worked.
So I found this out outta sheer luck I did what he said purple to terminal jump but wouldn't allow me to lower windows no radio gauges nothing worked but I was able to drive signal lights windshield wipers head lights and tail light worked qhile at work I pulled the audio fuse located in back of the driver seat there's a fuse box I then noticed my rpms and mph came back and if fuse was out the key would release I then pulled the fuse out turned car on qith fuse out then off got out unlocked door with the key put fuse back in and turned on the car and boom everything was back to normal lmk if this helps anyone
That's because your car is a JERK😂😂😂😂. Na! Having issues with a 2014 Theft mode on occasionally. Disconnect ground wire on battery/ trunk for about 15 minutes and usually starts back up. Not the solution, but gets me home.
I have a Caddilac 2010 CTS and just replaced the key but the remote box was damaged and I locked it 3days ago but I think I dropped my key but it's not responding want open
Hey how’s it going and no it won’t lock the motor but it will lock signal too your starter so you won’t be able to start it until you find out where your antitheft problem is
The purple wire it the wire to the starter if you jump it from positive it will crank but it don’t matter if security is on it will just crank over and over
Thanks worked for me, thought I was going to have to call a tow truck.
Thank you. But exactly what part is, " that bad boy"?

Did you find a solution
I don't have a comment but I do have a question I need to know which oil pan goes to a 2008 Cadillac CTS a 3.6 engine can you use the VIN number to make sure you get the right one
Yes use your vin# to get the right one , call the dealer and they’ll ask for your vin, and get a part # from them
Ok so i had an issue with my car to where it would drive ok but it would activate the anti theft and traction control then the gas and temperature gauge would stop working while driving then ac would stop blowing cold lot of places would tell me it needed a computer but me been a single dad it has been a struggle to where I can’t afford a new one but I kept on seen if I could get it to work but no luck till I unplugged the anti thef fuse it’s been 3 days and haven’t had the same issues just thought I would let others know maybe it helps y’all out my car is a Cadillac 2006 cts 3.6l

What is the anti-theft fuse or where is it located? I have the same problem
I'll give it a shot". Thanks
How does the anti theft system get activated?
For my deville, you put in a radio that isn’t from the car originally. The radio reads the vin and if it doesn’t match it goes into theft lock
@@uselessamerican984That’s just for radio has to be programmed to work it won’t keep car from starting. This here is a issue with the chip in the key or ither the immo ring around the ignition
Where is the ending location for the wire trick
Mine just cranks and cranks and tries to start, sputters and dies when you do the purple wire thing. Any ideas?
fuel pump? fuses ok?
08?
Bad timing chain
Bad security on gm will not allow a crank
What computer do I get for 2005 or 2006 Cadillac cts
Babe do I take the fuse out then switch ignition on and off, then replace the fuse? Or are you saying leave key on and take fuse in and out?
Leave ignition on and take fuse on and off
Asking the real questions
My bro has a 2006 cts 3.6 and it's doing this he's done the bypassing of the starter relay by using a jumper wire and he says it still won't start. Dash lights come on when key is turned over but won't crank at all

@franker1111 he no longer has this car. He sold it. And now he drives an 2006 STS.
How can you help me my Cadillac doesn't turn on?
Do the lights on dash come on and the starter just doesn’t turn over? Or nothing at all?
When you say run the wire where can you be specific
What makes this happen
Sometimes when the battery dies or anything that makes the car reset or if you have a key fob remote and it runs out of battery
So I’m having the some problem on the 03 cts but my key is stuck in the ignition and the anti lock is j showing not flashing any advice on how to fix this?
Mess with the shifter for a little keep pushing up if not put a jumper on the battery and try again
Grab a flat heat go underneath your steering wheel and undo the flat head plastic screw, push a pen up there while taking the key out and it should come off just did it today because someone tried to break into my car haha
Flat head*
Did all but still won't start?

I have a 2017 Cadillac xts and my theft system shuts my car off then hazard lights come and it starts
So I found this out outta sheer luck I did what he said purple to terminal jump but wouldn't allow me to lower windows no radio gauges nothing worked but I was able to drive signal lights windshield wipers head lights and tail light worked qhile at work I pulled the audio fuse located in back of the driver seat there's a fuse box I then noticed my rpms and mph came back and if fuse was out the key would release I then pulled the fuse out turned car on qith fuse out then off got out unlocked door with the key put fuse back in and turned on the car and boom everything was back to normal lmk if this helps anyone
trying to understand what all you were saying your issue was; what you did to resolve them.. and seems like it corrected some other issues as well..
My 08 Sts won't start but everything turns on except the engine. U see the anti theft also no key start 😢😢 any ideas
I'm having same issue with my srx
My car has car lock but it isn’t flashing. It starts and drives but jerks. I’ve tried a million things… also lost the key fob
Any fix?

What state you in

I have a Caddilac 2010 CTS and just replaced the key but the remote box was damaged and I locked it 3days ago but I think I dropped my key but it's not responding want open
So my car recently just shut off out of no where, and that light blinks like it did n I gotta 05 Cadillac CTS, does it lock up the motor?
Hey how’s it going and no it won’t lock the motor but it will lock signal too your starter so you won’t be able to start it until you find out where your antitheft problem is
@@diazautocarellc well my antitheft light blinks like shown in the video, and when I go to start my car all that happens is my starter clicks
@@diazautocarellc my car shut off randomly while driving, and I was thinking either the ecm or the timing went out
Check the starter relay first then work your way too the pcm , pcm problems are common on these cars as well
@@diazautocarellc I tried starting it from jumping the starter relay n that didn't work so imma try that next
want to bring you my cars to repair if you r in the tristate area
To what bad boy he didn’t even pointed out he said the purple wire goes to what it’s a bunch of fuses to the ground
The purple wire it the wire to the starter if you jump it from positive it will crank but it don’t matter if security is on it will just crank over and over
It's the pcm. Just replaced mine.
What's the pcm? And how much was it?
@@nitropr5655 It’s the computer. You can order one. I replaced mine. It took about 20 minutes
@@nitropr5655 It cost around 450
My Cadillac doesn't have a key
sure didn't work for me.
Anyone ever have this happen on cts V?
Change a starter on 2012 cts
08 CTS
And 07 lol
