help shoebox! i have the same problem where my car wont turn over and the security light is flashing on the dash. i measured the resistance on my key to be ~1475 ohms so i went to radioshack and bought a 1500 ohm 1/2 watt resistor and bent and plugged it into the female end of the connector from the picture on your website. nothing has changed and the car still wont start and the security light is still flashing. i have a 02 camaro and noticed you have a 95. would my model year require something different perhaps?

It's all laid out in the information on my site. You will still need to bypass the TDR (Theft Deterrent Relay).

I dont understand why you dont take the steering wheel off and at least check to see if the cylinder has a broken wire?? If your car gets ripped off you will wished you did.
