EnthusiastMy Nitro will not start, the owner before me had a viper auto start put in and we were thinking my car was going into anti theft mode because of this. I had some one come and take the viper out and my car still will not start it is stuck in anti theft mode. my husband has un hooked the battery to reset it and that does not work. my key fob will not work as well so we tried replacing the battery it still does not work. how can i get my car to start or get out of anti theft mode?

My car wouldn't start, we thought it was
My auto start among numerous other things
Long story short it was the "auto kill switch "
"Anti theft device" when I purchased my vehicle
From the dealership they didn't tell me I had one
We found it under my steering wheel. I got mine removed but
When I had this problem I pushed it back in and my car started.Flag ThisLike0
