problem #2

Impala 3.8lV6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 167,500 miles

I have been having this Security Light problem for some time now and I am hesitant to let anyone fix it because no one knows what the problem is. Or at least I haven't seen a valid solution yet. I would like to get rid of the Passlock or disable it. If someone knows how please let me know. I am tired of waiting 10 minutes or more to get the car to start whenever the security light feels like coming on. Also., all the star and moon alignment methods to get the car to star are worthless. My car has about 167K miles on it now (Im gonna run the thing into the ground) and the issue started at about 134K. Does that passlock bypass I read about work? Is the method the same for a 200) Implala? I don't want to jack up my car's electrical system.

Impala 3.4L

I read on here about putting in the key, locking the car, then the car turned over....weird. lucky i had another vehicle this morning before work. also I fixed my leak on the passenger floor by resealing the plastic under the hood with silicone. make sure to relube the heater fan also if it has been washed out before that needs replaced. I pushed white lithium grease up into it.
