Q. I had a new stereo put in and the security light is stuck on, because you need the OEM stereo system to put in the code to turn it off(I think, unless you think I can put the codes in the new deck by pushing buttons on it). I have to take a driver safety test and was wondering if there is an easy way to take a fuse out or cut a wire to get it off.
Or the other option to put a piece of electrical tape over it, or maybe use a black sharpie pin? But will that make the driving inspector suspicious thinking I am covering up the check engine light?
Will they even care if I have warning lights going off during the drive test anyways?

A. I sort of doubt they will care about the security light being on. But if they see that it has been covered up they will certainly get suspicious. I don't think the security light has anything to do with the stereo not being stock. A GM dealership is the only place that has the equipment needed to diagnose and repair the problem.
Is it best to install security lights on their own switch, or not?
Q. I am having security lights- with a motion detector that trips the light for 20 seconds- installed on the outside of my home. Should I get the electrician to install them on a switch that I can turn on and off? Is there any reason I wouldn't put them on a switch, (it does cost more to wire that way). I just don't want to have to get it done later if it is best for them to be on a switch.
A. I recommend you put them on a switch, if you ever need them to stay on for an extended period of time you will be able to control them, if you get the proper security light.
The security light is on my 2001 buick regal LS wont start how do I fix this?
Q. I have a 2001 buick regal LS. I recently had to change the steering column out and now the care will not start. I am thinking its because the security light is on. Does anyone know how to reset the code to make the security light go off so the car will start? Or if maybe it could be something else?
A. Try this to reset the pass-lock security system.
This is free and all it takes is about 35 minutes of your time. If it doesn't work, all you are out is a little bit of your time.
First. make sure the battery is fully charged. If you have automatic headlights or daytime running lights disable them and it will help save your battery power. You should find instructions for this in your owner's manual. You could park the car in the sunlight which would not activate your head lights on most models.
Turn off all of the vehicle accessories. Roll down the windows. You roll down the windows just in case your doors lock while resetting your pass-lock security system.
Place the key in the ignition. Turn the key to the run position but don't start the engine. Don't use the accessories position as this will not work.
Leave the ignition in the on position for 10 minutes. At the 10 minute mark the security light will flash.
When the security light flashes turn the ignition off.
Wait a minute
Repeat these steps two more times. Do not start the engine or place the ignition in the accessories position or you will need to start over from the beginning.
After the third time of doing this your security system should be reset.
You say you changed the steering column. If this procedure does not work you may need to take the car to your nearest GM service department and get that "Great GM Feeling". If you did not install the original ignition switch with the new steering column it is very possible that the new ignition switch needs to be matched with the Pass Lock security system. This can only be done by a GM dealer because this process requires the use of a special scan tool connected to the diagnostic port. Most likely the only person that you will find with this scan tool is a GM dealer.
And no, the Pass Lock 2 security system can not be disabled. It is integrated into the car's computer systems and can not be bypassed or disabled.
