Having starting Issues with my 2001 Monte. car won't start and thought that the starter was the problem because of no sounds at all so i replaced it with a new one. Car still won't start and had the core checked and it failed the test. What else should I check besides battery, alternator, fuses? I've searched all over the web and no one seems to really help. I stumbled over a forum where someone recommended your club. So here i am and hope to get some real help cause right now we have no money to invest but we do need a car to get around. Thanks!
Welcome aboard Erik, It sounds like you have a passlock [anti theft] issue. I'd bet the theft/security light or message is on. Without a factory scan tool, it's really hard to diagnose. My suggestion would be to take it to a qualified repair shop and have it diagnosed properly. If the wrong things are messed with, The Body control module and other things can be damaged.
Good luck!
