okay so i parked my car yesterday after a normal drive around town.

i get in there today to take it for a spin and it will honk when i turn the key whether or not i hold the cruise button in or not. its as if there is something wrong with the release or the alarm system.

i already tried a different keys, and disconnected the battery also.

Ummmm.... help?

... cruise button? Some after-market alarm cutoff wired in?

no, you have to hold in the cruise button in order to start the car, they are all like that. now when i hold it in. it does the same thing as if i wasnt holding it in.

yea... good luck with that... thats not a stock feature
I have seen people do similar things, but GM wouldnt- follow the wiring where they spliced into your ignition- pull out the splice and wire it back directly-

it is a feature on some cars, it was on my brothers when he bought his brand new in 2000 so i know its not afermarket

Dont know man- be interested to see the results- GM would not do it, possibly a weird dealer mod- if they came from the same place- odds are its wired into the orange Vats wire coming from the ignition- Trace it, you will probably find a splice- Bypass it-
try this in the stereo/electronics- probably a better response in there

if its not stock then how do i know 3 people with it and when my brother bought a BRAND NEW camaro in 2000 it had it?

yeah when i get home ill start looking at stuff.

i just dont get how it could do this after sitting over night. doesnt make any sense.

Sorry man- Cant answer that- my bet- small town with the same alarm installer
Its not an uncommon thing to do, I have seen cars done where you had to hit the window roll up...
Check the ignition harness- whether its "factory" or not thats where it would be spliced-

come to think of it, i bought mine off a guy that bought his from the same Dealership in houston as my brother did in 2000. so maybe thats what it is.

There you go- Orange Vats wire... I gotta dollar that says if you jump around the splice it will start, your Cruise switch probably is toast... they arent ment to be pushed that often...

last night i looked in the fuse box and saw some wires going in the plugs with the fuses. if i take out those wires and plug the fuses back in without the wires it will start when i turn the key like normal then huh?
