I'm currently Monte-less now too.

This afternoon while I was doing errands, I got a Passlock warning light. But the car started. About an hour later while at Staples, I go to start the car and nothing. Dash and radio lights up, but no starter, no solenoid click, nothing. Just a flashing Passlock light.

After yelling a couple words I can't post here, I tried a couple tricks that sometimes get the car started. No luck. Get on the cellphone, call a towtruck to get the car towed to a dealership. As soon as I get off the phone, it started. Immediately drive it to the dealership to get the stupid Passlock problem fixed. By the time I get it there, it's 3:00. So they have to keep it over night, and work on it tomorrow.

I hereby change the name Passlock to Pain-in-the-***-lock. The only people it prevents from starting the car is stranded owners. Thieves have no problem getting past Passlock.

Edit: since I was at Staples, I did try pressing the "easy" button. Didn't help. lol

 

Haha! the passlock got me a few times...Once it got me stuck at my fiancee's job. after a few nasty swears & screams I decided to jiggle the ignition cylinder while on the 'start'...heard a nasty spark and she started right up. Ever since the light came on once, but no problems..

Drove the monte to work & back.

 

Just recently got back on the site. Its been awhile for me. Trying to get back on here some more though.

And thanks about the rims. They havent been on the monte awhile though because they need new tires.

 

today i took the spoiler off the car and fixin some rust spots under there, the thing hasnt been off since it was put on there

 

Still Monte-less here....

 

Im Monte less today....

The mrs took her to work...lol

 

Got the Monte back from the dealership yesterday. Stupid crappy passlock. Replaced the passlock sensor -- $490. Diagnostic fee -- $110. Labor (actual part replacement) -- $110

Getting shafted by the passlock system -- pain in the ***.

This is actually the second time since I owned the car that the passlock left me stranded in a parking lot somewhere.

 

WoW, that's very sad & expensive 4-Sure Did the 1st time cost as much ? I think that you are just going to have to trade it on a new Mustang & we can change the name of our forum to the Mustang/Carlo/Forum since we have member's that have been jump'in ship since Chevy does not produce a updated/new Monte Carlo ~>

 

Hey Taz / Red nightmare Check with your local Car stereo shops a local 1 made me a relay with the matched resister that completely defeats pASS lock in our Monte it cost me $150 to have it done back in the spring of 2010 and I have never had a problem with my Monte after that with the Pass Lock system .

 

All I did to it today was drive it. After a weeks worth of headache vehicles, it's nice to just be able to drive your own with no issues.
