I know this isnt a mopar problem, but it is a problem for this mopar lady.
My main transportation for taking hubby to doctor is the 2002 Suburban.
As of 2 days ago, the passlock light came on and I can no longer start the car.
I have 3 weeks to solve the problem before I have to take him to another doctor appointment.
I do not have the original key fobs or original keys.
I have two replacement keys made a few years ago.
I've researched this problem to death on the web but I'd like some advice from you guys.
What I've tried:
1. removed battery and had it checked, it deep cycled tested good. Did not give me a cold reset as the interweb said it would even though battery was out of the car overnight.
2. tried the 10 minute on-position, 10 second off cycle for three to five times and it never cleared/relearned or accomplished anything.
What I've read are options:
1. splice in a resistor into one of the lines
2. replace a $200+ sensor in the steering column
3. replace the passlock module with a PERMANENTLY Disable and Remove GM Security Systems module which will eliminate the whole anti-theft process
4. have the dealer deal with it for $1200
5. stop driving the car
Is it possible to just buy new fobs and oem keys to overcome this problem?
Is there a way to remove or test the passlock module.
It is a 2002 Suburban, with a failing clear coat, and crumpled rear bumber and sorely in need of replacement front seat cushions and upholstry.
Not a highly sought car for parts or theft in my neck of the woods.
I'm growing weary of this problem and my 3 week deadline is looming.
