I have a 95 Lesabre and the lock cylinder got locked up last night so I had it replaced. Now I'm trying to start the car and security light keeps blinking and it won't start. I already have a bypass transponder and remote starter installed so I haven't bothered getting the new key programmed as the bypass module should take care of it. Why isn't the car starting?
A mapp torch for starters. Shut off the water up stream of the leak. Drain all the water out of the pipe. Using the mapp gas torch, heat the copper pipe where the leak is, this will take a long time depending how much water is in the pipe. Open the valve(s) down stream to let out all the water and steam. Heat not only the leak but a couple inches on either side of the leak. When the copper gets very hot the gas turns green, this shows the copper it hot enough to try to add solder (lead-free) to the joints to try to seal the leak. If this doesn't work you must cut the leaky joint out and insert a new joint and unions and short sections of copper tubing to make the pipe whole again. Get a good picture in your mind of what you want to do before you do anything. Get help at Home Depot or other on how to clean copper fittings prior to solder and the correct flux. If you find flux over a year old at your place, throw it away and buy a new small container for less than $3. Practice heating and soldering on a short piece of tubing and a union. Be Careful, the copper will be very hot, dripping solder will give a third degree burn.

Yes I do, and I have been using for more than 10 years, but make sure there is no twist or ties. It should be flat over your thin cover, and make sure every wire plugged in securely. More over put it on mark number “3” a few minutes before getting into the bed, then put on number “1” because you will fell so hot in the middle of the night
