Now when you tried and the starter wouldn't turn, that might be it. If it is the passlock, this will happen, the starter might turn 1 revolution then quit, the "security" light will be on, and it will say "service vehicle" accros the odometer. Watch for these things. As far as it dying while running, I would suspect fuel system. Fuel pump, relays, etc. I know there have been some people that have to replace a fuel relay. Hope that helps.

#325 of 363 Ion PassLock system by mojo22 Jul 26, 2009 (2:35 pm)
I have an '03 Ion and have recently had the Passlock light come on. No real guidance in the owner's manual; called Customer "Disservice" to try and get some tech support. No go. Only wanted to know if they could make an appointment for me. "Thank You for choosing Saturn," she says at the end of the conversation. "Yeah, right," were my parting words.   Anyway, I got the idea in my head to interrupt power to the vehicle in hopes of extinguishing the PassLock light. Went into the trunk, and disconnected the positive side of the battery cable, checked to see if the light was out, it was, then reconnected it. Light was still out. Car started OK. Was okay for a week or so, and it did it again. Did the same thing. Works again. My kids drive this car, so I told them to be gentle with the cylinder lock when starting the car. Would hate to pay lots of $$$ to them for what may not be the real fix.   This might be a way to help you get the vehicle running again at least temporarily--or at least we all can figure out what is going on with this thing. I still curse the day I bought it...............   Good luck! Replies to this message: bugaloo78 (Jul 29, 2009 9:56 am)

Replying to: climb3rchick (Jul 08, 2009 9:16 am) I have been a mechanic for over 10 years and have heard that problem from many many people. One of the reasons I have found for this is the fuse box in the engine compartment being loose. it looses ground and dies or will not start. have someone tighten everythin up and see if that fixes the problem. Hope that helps...

Replying to: agawamguy (Jan 02, 2009 8:10 am) Looked for the white wire, but I think my 05 Vue must use a different wiring. Any ideas?

Replying to: agawamguy (Jan 01, 2009 7:25 am) Did you install the remote starter in your ion. The fall /winter season will be here before I know it and I would like to instal the keyless remote. Just wondering if you recommend the remote starter???? Thanks
