hey guys i bought a chevy tahoe and i replaced the steering wheel coluumn and wiring with a used one from the salvage yard but know the truck wont start i was wondering if anyone knew what was going on and what i need to do to fix it

 

probably the keyswitch is not hooked up properly or it's broken.

 

well ive had like 3 different so called reasons one(1) was a fuse or circuit burned, (2) second was that i needed to use the same switch (3) third was that i needed to go to GM to reset the the computer thanks for your answer though i really appreciate it but i put the whole column in complete with wiring and everything and it stilll no go.... would u happen to know how to reset the whole thing

 

When you turn the key to run does everything turn on? When you try to start What does it do?

 

everything on it works and it even cranks as if it was out of gas it wants to start but it doesnt

 

sounds like VATS is kicking in. You can turn it off in the tune, that's the easiest way to fix it.

 

Sounds like this...i had to do it when i put in my tuned pcm, these are the instructions that were included...

You need to reset the security code in VATS.
1. Turn the key on to start the engine, then release the key to the ON position.
2. The security light will flash for 10 minutes then go off.
3. Turn key OFF after security light has stopped flashing.
4. Leave the key off for 30 seconds or so. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for 2 more times for a total of 3 attempts. The vehicle should start on the 4th attempt. This procedure takes at least 30 minutes. The battery should be fully charged and deliver more than 10 volts.
