Sedans Pontiac Grand Am Pontiac Grand Am Security Passlock Problems

OK! I joined this blog hoping have any answers that could help me! Please!  Last October I made a copy of my key just in case, my aunt used it and the secury light got on, she turn off the car and turn the key around and started the car with no problems.  Since that my car had some starting problems, I chaged the ignition and the mechanic view for other problems about battery, etc. And was all right!  Suddenly the starting problems came back! About two weeks ago I drove to my work fine, when I got off the car wouldn't start. You can imagine how I felt, after 45 minutes of traying and no other ideas, I put my car in Neutral and started with no problem. I drop my car to the mechanic and they didn't found nothing because the car started with no problems! (I left my car with them almost 5 days and nothing). :S So last Saturday was happy on my day off and what I got? Yes starting problems again! The first time I replay using the same method on Neutral, I stopped in my second place and had the same problem, and did it again on the third one! So I realize that it was the perfect time to drop it with the mechanic so they can experience the same problem and find out what is wrong with my car, but no success, it's Monday now and they haven't got any starting problems at all. Any ideas?  Help needed!

breynomar - you don't mention if anything is going on with your security light when you're having these starting problems . If your security light is on or flashing it would probably be a security /passlock issue .If nothing going on with the light then you're probably in the wrong forum (discussion).

Replying to: malbols (Mar 02, 2009 4:06 pm) While I'm here, I would like to thank tommy01 for keeping us up to date on how his "constant on" security light problem is going. This is all helpful information. Also, I guess I would like to re-state that the resistor fix will cure Only one of the many possible causes of the passlock (security light)problems. Now, it's beginning to look like a constant ON security light is not really much of a worry. Looks like as long as the car keeps running, you can ignore the constant security light. I would like to know if there are any instances out there that contradicts that statement.??? Dick

seeingstars - you need someone - anyone , perhaps a mechanic friend to cut the yellow wire when running & splice in a toggle switch . It tells you how with pics in these forums .
