Car wont start anti theft device activated on chev. equinox 2006

Went to start the car and it wouldn't start. The car looks like it has a charge. Went to turn the key and there wasn't anything. I pushed the lock button when I was in the car and a symbol came on that said the anti theft system was activated.

Turn key to on position for ten minutes, shut off then try to start. Found this out from towing service. It worked on mine.

Anti theft won't reset. Battery won't charge. Tries to start on it's own.

The system may be activating because there is not enough power in the battery?
Check the batter connections and power cables.
Are the posts clean and tight.
Are the cables going to the battery, alternator and starter in good condition. Check to see if the insulation on the cables have not worn away some ware along the cables and shorting out.

Replace a key ignition out of my 2005 chevy equinox with a 2006 saturn vue now the chevy wont start cause of the theft system. how do i reset this

The 2005 equinox is equipped with GM passlock anti theft security. By replacing the ignition you have broken the communication for this system. Your vehicle will never start again until you fix that properly. There is a way to bypass that system so it will work. I've done dozens of these bypasses and they work great. Best part is you'll never have to worry about it again. Go to this link and read up on how this system works. The bypass YOU need is under "permanent fix". Trust me, this is your best bet. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/
