Hi awesome folks of MT. Juliet!! I need some help or some real recommendations? For my birthday, which was in spetember...my best friends all chipped in and purchased brand new tires for my 06 malibu!! I know, how awesome right? Well, about January..she started having difficulty starting...drove her over to advance auto, they ran some test and everything came back normal. Well, 2 days later she no longer would start...my younger brother is somewhat comfortable with cars so he recommended changing out the ignition switch. So, I ordered it...after or while he was changing it and hooking up a code reader, the lights, inside and out, the locks..everything starting going bonkers...then everything shut off and I believe the dash said something like theft mode engaged. Now it's been sitting since because I have no clue how to get the car fixed and not that much money to invest in doing so. Anyone have any ideas where to go..who to contact or what to do? I've heard that the computer needs to be reprogrammed....isn't that ridiculously expensive?
Annnnndddd go!!
