I tried all of this and my car still wont start. The guy I had working on it said the fusible link was burnt so instead of replacing it he just got a piece of the same guage wire and connected it to the two ends which means he completely removed the fusible link. Do you think that would be the problem. Also the theft system light is staying on steady I tried to override it with information I got from other websites but I've had no luck. Please help me if you can :(

good afternoon.

try this for the theft.. turn key to start and back to on, let it set for at least 10 minutes or till the security light goes out, then do it again, after the 3rd time, turn key off then try to start it should have learned the password with this procedure.

I tried your suggestion about the anti- theft and it didn't work I left the key in the on position for over an hour and the anti-theft light stayed on the entire time

ok, then you may have damaged one or more modules from the voltage spikes form crossing the cables. without us being there to check the system ourselves, you will need a shop to at least check the system. computers and modules do not like voltage spikes. you may have damages others as well.
