help is on the way. what you have is a bad ignition cylinder thats not reading the resistance on the key. to over ride this you can either have the ignition cylinder replaced or have the security system bypassed by installing a resister across the 2 tiny white wires in the orange casing under the steering column. you will need to know a little about a ohm meter to get this done. a repair shop will usually do this for about a hour labor and the cost of the resister. $10. . also for the time being try moving the steering column to the low position, wait the 4 minutes and retry. keep us posted.
