The key is worn out. Take the key and your VIN number. Located in the windshield drivers side at the bottom or on the drivers door or in the door jam . Take them to the dealer and they will cut u a new key.
There is no reset on your vehicle. It is controled by the computer and ignition system . You may be having an ignition switch problem, or either a fuel pump gone bad. Also check the wiring for shorts at battery and/or a blown fuse
yes very much possible the ignition switch is getting Short so its causing the issue.Check the voltage at ignition switch.The power wire to the ignition switch harness are connected to battery and will give 12 volts.If there is no voltage then its loose connection.If there is short the voltage will differ.

Sounds like the ignition switch has gone bad and will need to be replaced. Turn the ignition switch to the on position again and check to see if there is power to other items like the transmission and accessories. If there are a few items that are not working, good chance that the ignition switch has gone bad and is there any security light on the dash flashing???
You could have a start that has gone bad and will need to be replace,or your having a Passlock system problem.
Your Passlock may need to relearn the ignition keys, if the
ignition lock has gone bad like my in-laws Grand Am Gt, here is what i
did so they will not get stranded any more. Buy a Passlock by pass
module for around $70.00. You can orderone from GMPASSLOCK.COM in the
mean time try resetting the Passlock. Good luck
Ignition keys relearn takes about 30 min to do. 30-Minute Learn
Procedure 1.) Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 2.) Attempt to
start the engine, then release the key to ON; the vehicle will not
start. 3.) Observe the SECURITY tell tale light. After approximately 10
minutes, the light will turn OFF. 4.) Turn OFF the ignition switch, and
wait 5 seconds. 5.) Repeat steps 1 through 4 - two more times - for a
total of 3 cycles of 10 minutes. 3x10 = 30 minutes. The vehicle is now
ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or
passwords on the next ignition switch turn from OFF to CRANK Important:
Turn the Ignition Switch OFF. The vehicle learns the Passlock
Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition
from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to
start the vehicle. 6.) Start the engine. The vehicle has now learned the
Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password. 7.) With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed. History DTCs
will self clear after 100 ignition cycles.
Without a scan tool you may
have momentary starter interruptions while history clears itself.
you need a new ignition switch. the electrical part of the switch has gone bad. you may be able to pull out the one that is in there now and clean up the contacts but i would just replace the switch.
I had a similar problem several years ago on my 97 Jimmy. There is a switch in the steering column that had gone bad, had to be replaced and no problem since. The symptons sounded just like yours. My trusted mechanic found the problem after a lot of testing and fixed it.
