ok i have a base model 96 cavalier auto with 2.2 it only has 3 guages in the cluster..... ok i bought a cluster out of a wrecked 98 ls cavalier with 2.2 but this cluster has a tach which i was wanting w/o buying a big tach to bolt to my dash so i found an alternative... ok my problem is this when i took my cluster out and put the one with the tach in the car started then shut off shortly after... and the THEFT light started flashting.. and everytime after that when the car starts with that cluster in it dies and wont start again... how can i deactivate the THEFT and use the ls cluster in my cavy? btw it starts and runs fine with the old cluster just not the ls one with the tach bc of the theft ??????
When life is out of control just floor it....
I believe you turn the key to the on position as if starting the car and leave it in the on position for 15 minutes. This means leaving the key in the ignition with the ignition in the on position for 15 minutes. This should reset the theft signal and allow you to operate your vehicle like normal.
