If you know the value of the resistor you can cut the wires going to the lock cylinder and solder in a resistor of the correct value.
"The security resistor on your key may be dirty or dead. Try a new key from GM. It will come programmed right from the dealer. Another possibility is that your ignition key also has a resistor in it. That can only mean that there is a passkey system such as the one used in a 1994 Buick Regal Custom. When the passkey system fails, it costs about $350 to replace. However, for a Camaro, it's worth the money. Take it to a garage to test the system." I own a 1991 Camaro that has the passkey, and I trip it accidentally a lot. When this is done, go under the dash and there is a brown/black/purple wire with a black connector. Unplug this, then plug it back in and the system is reset and the car should start.
Nonfunctioning door locks and security system can because by a bad fuse. Replace the security system for use with a new fuse. Most of the time this will fix the problem.
there is no fire or gas, is it a security problem? if so how do i fix it
i have a 1992 camaro rs, they play in mine went away after replacing the bushings on the front lower control arms and bushings
how do you fix security switch on a 2002 oldsmobile alero
change the ignition switch the little black thing on your key is wore down and not making good contact that should fix the problem
Replace it.
Take it to a mechanic.
I wouldn't fix it if i was you.....I have a 2000 alero, and the security system (passlock) keeps it from starting often, and it seems to be a big problem with them. So if your security system isn't working but the car is running fine I wouldn't mess with it..
I would highly recommend that you get your alarm security system fixed or changed. Having your alarm go off late is not good for the security system. Go to homesecuritystore.com and they have a wide variety of home alarm security systems.
If your security light is staying on, it's a good indication that you VATS system is mulfunctioning. At some point your car randomly will not start. Most likely the case is that the wires that run from your ignition to your VATS module are loose or broken up. It's a really easy cheap and easy fix. Just search VATS on GM vechicles.
