Default Anti Theft issue....I think

Hey everyone so I go to try to open my car to take it out for its weekend spin and to my surprise both my key pads don't work. Then when I open the door manually none of my interior lights go on the my car doesn't even think of turning over. The only thing that is on is the little red anti theft light and it is solid red not flicking. Everything else doesn't work the ignition, any accessories, nothing. Did my battery die or did my anti theft lock me out?

try and charge your battery first. if it dosent work after charging it it must be the antitheft.

It might clear if you leave the battery disconnected for a long time. Might have to pull the onstar fuse or something if they reported it stolen by accident.

That fuse also powers the diagnostic port, so it has to be in if you want to do any tuning.

Take out the onstar board from the xm/onstar module.

Well Update time,

My dad jumped the car this morning (don't know if your suppose to be doing that with this car) but i started right up. Drove it to my local shop for a new battery, told them to order the optima red top 35 so I don't have this problem again for a good while

Thanks again everyone for the responses
