as if i didn't have enough lights on in my 98 cavy.. now the theft system light is on!
i would look in my owner's manual.. but it got wet and is all mildewed together (gross).. so if anyone would tell me why it is on and what i can do about it it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
krystal

does the car start? if not do this

1. Start the car and let it die. The theftlock light will be on, DO NOT TURN THE KEY OFF, OR OPEN ANY DOORS, OR TURN ON ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. Just fold your hands under your arms and wait 10-15 minutes...
2. After the car stalls, the theftlock light will blink. wait until it stops blinking.
3. Wait 1 minute after it stops blinking.
4. Turn the key to off, wait 10 seconds, then start the car again.
You may have to do this 3 times for it to work correctly.
