davehop :

Hello and welcome to JA, is the light flashing rapidly or staying on solid?

Customer :

flashing

Customer :

if i turn key back and forth alot or leave key on for awhile it starts low voltage on gage wen doesnt start truck was in flood a couple months ago just started doing this

davehop :

the most likely cause for a rapidly flashing light is that the key is not being recognized...do you have a spare key that you can try?

Customer :

its a 2000 not 98

Customer :

no

Customer :

does it have anything to do with key remote lock

davehop :

no, when the PCM does not recognize the key, it will flash the theft light rapidly, you need to get a new key and have it programmed to the car..

davehop :

please hit the green accept tab if my answer was helpful.
