Q. Im having a passlock problem in my 2002 chevy impala. The security light blinks on and the car wont start. I have to wait like 10 minutes before it resets itself. The dealor says it cost 600.00 to fix and no one else would touch it. Ive called around. Is there an easier way out of this?
A. all chevrolets have this problem, even mine. this summer i found out what my problem was. first the light blinks then, my tahoe woulg turn off while i applied the break peddle. killing all power to vehicle.
chevrolrt dealer told me same thing $600 to fix.
i thought the all\arm system was holding it off, on anti-thift, cause i could hear the alarm box making clicking sounds
the problem with mine was a loose positive battery post.
even tho the post was tight, just wasn't tight enough'
post was tight into the battery, but loose between both cables that hooked to the positive pose, not much just enough to cause problems.
what i did was put a lock washer between both cables, and installed cables in a v shape from bottom looking up.
havent had the problem again.
around here, i know at least 7 people with same problem
give it a try, before spending $600

Does a security light coming on have anything to do with a car not starting?
Q. I noticed a security light coming in on my dashboard the other day. After about two days my car wouldn't start. I changed the battery and put on a new one. The car still don't start at all. No engine sound either. (2003 Oldsmobile Alero) I think it is the starter.
It didn't make a sound. It didn't even click. The lights came on the dash. No engine sound at all.

A. Read your owner's manual if it's a factory installed alarm system. If it was installed by yourself, or a previous owner, call a tow. It seems as though your car thought it was being tampered with...it has shut down your ignition system to keep it from being stolen. You need to find out how to reset the system...some cars have a button under the dash that you press while turning the key to 'start', some can be reset with the key fob.Maybe your car used to have an alarm system, and it stopped working properly, and the previous owner got rid of the key fob, but not the rest of the system. Either way, I would bet that there is an alarm system that has shut the car down.
The Service 4WD and Security light comes on in my 99 GMC Sierra?
Q. The security light only comes on while I'm driing from time to time, and the Service 4WD happens more often. I have recently had work done on the transfer case and the diff, so what could be the problem with these lights?
A. take it and have the computer scanned on it to see if it will give any trouble codes,that and have it put on a lift they might have left a wiring harness loose on it,that shouldn't cause the security light to come on though,have it scanned and see what codes come up on it,then go from their with it,good luck.
