How To FULLY Bypass VATS PassKEY and Passlock Systems in GM cars

How I Saved My 95 Buick LeSabre

From Dead On Monday To Racing On Saturday
The dreaded GM security system just hit you? If you are here, chances are you would love a solution you can call permanent. Odds are:
- Your car was doing great until one day it started randomly playing dead?
- The security light is flashing and your mechanic doesn’t know what to do?
- You just had a nice talk with the dealer that ended quite abruptly when he quoted you about 1000$ for the fix?
- You are in distress because you need your reliable vehicle back, but cannot afford the dealer’s quote?
- You tried swapping several parts, but the problem persists?
- You are confused because if/when your car starts it either dies in 2 seconds or drives perfectly?
That’s what we thought. You are in the right place.
VATS, PASSkey and Passlock immobilizer systems are killing cars all over North America, they have a short lifespan and are certainly more effective against owners than thieves.
Thousands of people are trying to bypass GM Security Systems the wrong way. They just bypass a small part of it (key and lock) and so end up with their car stuck again with the exact same problem far away from home and without understanding why. And with the closest dealer ready to jump on them with a 1,000$ invoice.
At NEWROCKIES Inc we have designed a Passkey Full Bypass Module. We call it PRO. And it has the only purpose of saving your car from this problem. Permanently. Guaranteed.
“I would like to send a word of thanks for your remarkable product, it not only was a breeze to install but it brought my truck back from the brink of being junked. You guys have made a believer out of me and I’m recommending your product to all the shops I sell parts too at work. Thank you once again.” -Kelvin Kirven (Coolidge, TX) |

I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado K1500. I believe my ignition switch and/or passlock sensor is not working. When I try to start my truck it runs for a second but then shuts down. Then it will not let me do anything for about 30 mins. I see Where people talk about cleaning the contacts but I can’t find out how to do it. Also do I need to just replace them.
Hi Michael, the trick was to clean the resistor contacts, but that was on the old VATS system. On your system, there is really nothing to clean. It works in an entirely different way. You will need to replace the ignition, or bypass the system.
What is the best way to bypass it?
Well sir, we just so happen to sell a product that does exactly that. Our Pro Bypass Module was designed specifically to fix this problem and will work great on your truck. http://newrockies.com/pro
I have a 99 Chevy Silverado 1500 and yesterday it started fine I went to another store shut it off then when I went back to start it, it would roll over and do everything but start then finally after an hour or so it started randomly the security light stays on constantly and when it wouldn’t start it would flash 5 times stop then repeat, then today it started right up twice then same thing happened as yesterday. Is this due to the security system?
Yes Heath, your system is confused and failing. It’s a miracle it’s driving at all. Our Pro Module was designed just for this problem and will work great on your Silverado.

Hey Chris, your comment/question is on a different page. http://newrockies.com/buy-from-me/
I would like to thank Jack for his help. I did what you said and it started on the first try.
Great! We love to hear the feedback and are happy everything turned out for you. Thanks again
I have a 2004 Chevy Impala, I have temporarily fixed the security issue with my car by removing my dash and sanding the connection poles between my ignition and my BCU. One year later the problem is back. I know it is a resistance that needs to be met, and being a electronics geek have tried to figure out where to jump. I know your device is doing that, and I can’t find out where and am at my last straw with my car. I want it, but want to make sure I am not going to lose my stock radio in the process. Also after installation am I going to have to do the 10 min reset to accept your device?
Hi Josh. NO the radio will not be effected, and yes there will be a 30 minute relearn process to teach the system the signal from the new module.
Hi Luke.
At this moment I am sitting in the rain waiting for my car to finally crank back up and get me to where I need to go. This has been goin on for about a year an each time I turn the key to on and wait ten minutes, but now this is really starting to get to me. My car is a 98 Pontiac grandam and I just want to know if you can tell me how to bypass this system. It truly is the most annoying thing ever!
Hi Brooke, if the ten minute reset is not working, your vehicle may be on the verge of total failure. Our Pro Module works on your year Grand Am and will bypass the failed system.
I have a 2003 Aurora with the same problem will this work For my car
Sorry Jennifer, but our Pro Module won’t work on your 03′ Aurora.
i have a 97 cavalier and the anti theft light stays solid it does not flash and it never shuts off will the bypass fix this issue and if not can i get my money back
and also i have already replaced the lock cylinder and replaced the ipc but still the light stays solid and doesnt shut off
Yes Sean it sounds like your security system is completely failed. Our Pro Module will bypass the security system and allow the car to operate like a normal car. And we have a 30 day money back – No questions asked policy. If you decide not to use it, just return it for a full refund.
So I have a 2000 Chevy Malibu. I don’t have the original manufacturer key, but everything has been fine until this week. Sunday, went to start my car, and it won’t turn over. All lights work, it’s not the battery or alternator, I just replaced those exactly a year ago. It’s like it’s trying and trying and trying to turn over but it just won’t catch…so I don’t think it’s the starter. And…that lovely red “theft system” light is flashing. And flashing. And flashing. So I left it alone for a few hours, came back, and it started fine until last night. The first time I thought I had flooded the engine on the first start because my hand slipped off the key mid-start…so…I’m not sure. But this time…my car is sitting dead in the mall parking lot…Same thing but I KNOW I didn’t slip off the key when trying to start it. Just chugs and chugs and chugs like it want’s SO bad to start but won’t….and the light flashes away.
Going to go try and start it now…I’m betting it works. So…does this sound like the security system? I’m not getting clicking or dead battery indications…it actually starts to fire up but won’t fully catch…just chugs and chugs.
Yes Courtney, there are two ways the security/theft system will disable your vehicle. It will either turn off the starter or the fuel injectors. Your starter works, but the injectors are not. That is why it tries to turn over, but will never catch. The theft light indicates a security problem and this is a normal symptom. Our Pro Module will bypass the theft system and enable the fuel again.
One last question…my key doesn’t have the chip/magnet/resistor thing pictured on your diagram. Never has. It’s just a plain metal key from lowes or walmart. Lost the original years ago. I’m thinking this is only there on some cars and your system will still work with mine, regardless of the key chip, yes?
Hi Courtney, they stopped using that system that has the visible “chip” (VATS System) somewhere in the 1997-99 area. After that came the Passlock system and the key looked just like a normal key. There is indeed an antitheft security system on your vehicle and our Pro Module will eliminate it
Right…I’m sorry for all the questions…but today my car shut off while I was driving. Lost power…going 45 on a highway…and turned off dead in the road. Had been in motion for about 10 minutes. Is that still a theft system issue? If so, I’m ordering with tomorrow’s paycheck. (Hi, I’m a broke graduate student…)
Could the theft system be bonkers enough to shut my car off while driving?!?! It hasn’t turned back on since. Had to tow it. I’m worried my issues are bigger than this device can handle…:(
No problem Courtey, questions are why i’m here. From everything that we have discussed, it sounded like a security issue….. UNTIL this latest one. The security or antitheft system is not designed to shut a vehicle down while driving. (Too Dangerous) The system will only do this in the first five seconds of starting the vehicle. This is because the system is designed to prevent the car from being stolen, not shut it down while some criminal is driving down the road. So unfortunately Court, i think you may need to take the car to a mechanic. They can scan it and determine the actual problem. You may have some bad grounds somewhere or a screwy ignition. I really can’t say for sure. Sorry
I just really appreciate you being so honest. It really is evident that you are here to help people and not just take their money like a lot of car shops/repair places do.
It’s at the mechanic now. If I ever hear of a friend having a theft system issue I’ll be sure to send them your way. I’ve told my dad how great you’ve been. We are all so impressed. Thanks for the help!!!
I just bought a 2002 Oldsmobile alero and it ran good for the first couple of days but then it started acting up. When I go to start it, I turn the key and nothing happens, I notice the security light comes on. Will this module fix my car? Thanks
Yes Tony, that’s probably why they sold it. Our Pro Module will bypass the system and get the car to start and run like it should.
worked perfect for my 1997 olds LS. my symptom was, after never having a problem starting, then one morning the car would not even turn over. all dash lights were on and the security light was continuously flashing. ordered bypass on Tuesday at midnight and it came in the mail on Friday. taking my time, installed the bypass in 90minutes. car started right up on the first try.
thanx for giving my car back…for good
Ray
AWESOME!! We’re so happy everything worked out for you, and thank you so much for leaving us such positive feedback!
I’ve replaced the fuel pump, ecm, sparkplugs and countless other items on my 2004 old’s alero about $1200. would this module be beneficial or should I just replace the switch?
Hey Corey, the best benefit of bypassing is peace of mind. After bypassing you won’t have to worry about it failing ever again. No more expensive “smart keys” and any ignition will work.
Sorry so late but wanted to give you guys a big thanks. I ordered one of your systems about 3yrs ago for a 2001 Impala. After getting stranded 3 times waiting for the security timeout to pass, security warning lights & alarms while driving, the wife said I needed to do something. Found your site while researching the VATS/Passkey systems. Made the plunge and ordered a unit, came in 2-3 days and installed in under 2hrs. Best decision ever for the car. I haven’t had a single issue since. The wife speaks to me again!
Too bad you have to bypass the sorry system GM uses (and can’t seem to repair) but at least you guys offer a great and trouble free solution (cheaper than a GM repair too). Thanks again! Goober.
AWESOME! Thanks Goober for the feedback. We all love to hear it!
NEWROCKIES, Please post this for the world to read. Hands Down, the Pro Module is the “State of the Art” Solution for the Dreaded Security ISSUES!
On my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix, with the security light flashing the car would start fine, but then would shut off after 3 seconds every single time. After researching the internet on this famous GM security problem lead me down the path that replacing numerous modules might fix the problem. Or if that don’t work, bring the car into a dealer and have them give me a quote, which in most cases would add up to $1000 or more. I do all my own mechanical work myself, so due to my stubbornness not wanting to bring the car into the dealer it sat for six months, replacing modules, adding resistors, and so on. Then I ran across NEWROCKIES web site. Their PRO Module sounded too good to be true, and that plugging in the Pro Module would completely disable the security system and fix the problem. I was skeptical purchasing this module thinking it was just another Band-Aid, if it even worked. Then I noticed the 30 day money back guarantee and thought, what the heck I can always send it back. After receiving the Pro Module I installed it myself, which took aprox one hour. Then came the big moment, I turned the key on and started the car. I Just about fell over backwards when the car stayed running, and continued to run. So, I stand corrected on my skepticism, and that the Pro Module from NEWROCKIES is a “State of the Art” PERMANENT FIX for defective security systems. The Pro Module saved me hundreds compared to GM’s repair of something that could/would fail again in the future. I HIGHLY recommend this to everyone, and the Pro Module will be going on ALL my cars.
Thanks NEWROCKIES!
Bill
Bill, this is the best response I’ve seen since I’ve been with NEWROCKIES. You hit it all right on the head. Unlike others, NEWROCKIES Pro Module is NOT another half-hearted, substandard remote starter bypass. Instead NEWROCKIES created the best, most complete, high quality FULL bypass that will last longer than most cars that they get installed in. Just like you said, don’t spend money fixing a problem that can/will arise again. Bypass it and forget it. Thanks again Bill, we Love the feedback.
No problem, credit where credit is due.
Btw, a friend just purchased one of your Pro Module this morning. He has been fighting this issue for about a year now. When he gets it installed I will try and provide some feedback.
Bill
Well, my freind just recieved his Pro Module for his 2001 Impala. Hook it up and the car started and runs fine. Problem solved!! AGAIN.
Bill
Awesome news! So happy everything worked out for you. Thanks for the feedback!
My son has a ’91 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. It starts up but won’t stay running..Put a new fuel filter and have check the fuel pump and it is getting gas all the way to carburetor but won’t stay running….We were told it was probably this security thing…What do you thing. If so will it work on this car to bypass it? Thanks so much….
Yes Renee, we cover your vehicle and year. Our Pro Module is a 100% bypass for your vehicle and as long as it’s the SECURITY system shutting you down, our Pro will bypass and get you running again.
I’ve got a 2000 impala. Sounds like exactly what everyone has been commenting on. Started last year. Car wouldn’t start and for about ten min nothing would happen. Then after about ten min it would kick over. I do get the security light. This stopped during the winter but has started back up again. And it will happen at least once a week. Will yor product help me out
Yes Geoff, sounds like a classic example of security failure and our Pro Module will work perfectly for you.
Excellent product! I am familiar with the security issues behind gmail vehicles and about 6 months ago a guy from work had a 97 Buick lesabre that was completely dead, after a day of diag there was no question that the VATS had it locked up. I did some research online and found you guys. I recommend to every customer I have now with a gm to bypass the system! It will save you so much time and agony in the long run. Great product, great instructions thanks for being around
Thanks Tim! We love the feedback!!!!
2004 Chevrolet Suburban LT 1500 … began to have starting issues during the 2012 winter months, causing my family more stress than the truck was worth … the problem became increasingly frequent over one weeks time, eventually resulting in a completely dead truck … it would crank, start for 1 to 2 seconds and stall out. What I didnt realize is that the LOCK light on the dash would light up right after the truck would fire. I wouldnt even have considered looking for it had I not found this website. I originally replaced the fuel filter, fuel regulator, fuel pump relay, and purchased a new fuel pump … before I decided to drop the entire fuel tank (omg serious pain) I started one last search online for troubles with this truck and this problem … bingo, here I am, and after reading people’s comments I decided to buy the module … my truck starts every single time now, no problems what-so-ever! The product was easy to install, and the instructions for completing the process were perfect. I LOVE NEWROCKIES!!!!!!!! You saved my truck … and my hairline lol … my entire family sends lots of love and thanks!!!!
Thanks Bob for writing us back. We love to hear these stories and we love being able to take part in saving vehicles!!! Good luck to you, your family, your truck, and your hairline!
Hello, I have a 2003 Olds Alero that has trouble starting and dieing. Sometimes it starts right up and other times it takes several minutes. Also it dies while running. Like it completley cuts on and then takes about 10 minutes to start again. Will this help??
Hi Kasey, our pro module will bypass the antitheft system, but i’m not sure that the antitheft is your problem. You describe the vehicle dying while driving, the antitheft system will NOT do this. It will ONLY make the vehicle stall in the first five seconds of starting the vehicle.
Will this work in a 96 cavalier I picked it up with crank no start symptom and the theft light is always illimuminated
Yes it will, you may not have seen it listed because it’s listed twice for different years for some reason. But yes we cover that vehicle and will bypass the antitheft perfectly.
Just wondering when my unit will be delivered. Ordered it Sunday. need to set up date with mechanic.
Thanks
Hi Dennis, i checked it out. Purchased Sunday like you said, shipped Monday. I’d imagine to be delivered today or tomorrow/
Well I guess I’ll be trying this real soon because the security light goes off but still wont crank and my battery keep dien someone told me to change the computer but I think ima go head and try this first.
Well Danielle. i hope you don’t need that new computer, it sounds like a SECURITY failure to me. But if for some reason our Pro Module doesn’t help (as if maybe something else is wrong) remember we will accept returns for 30 days no questions asked. Good Luck
Tried this on my 1996 monte carlo and it worked beautifully. Thanks NewRockies! You saved me $1500+
These are the kind of comments that make our day. Your welcome, and Thanks again David!!
i have a 2001 oldsmobile alero. i bought it off a family memeber. they only had one key, went to a dealership to get a second key made, the key did not work. My car won’t even turn over, will this system fix my problem?
Yes Justin it will, you will no longer need “SMART” keys after installing our Pro Module. Just a regular old $2 copy key will be fine.
Hello,
Sorry for my english !
I have a Cadillac Eldorado (4,6 Northstar, 1993) and i have a problem with my VATS (don’t start with key problem…).
Do you send in France ?
Yes we do Jean-René, simply click this link and we can get you on your way. http://newrockies.com/buy-from-me/
I have a 1995 cadillac sls and this car will not start . It says car disabled due to theft system. Wait three minutes to start car so i wait an still nothing. What should i do?
Well Jamarr, our Pro Module is built to fix this very problem. Your theft system is failed and keeping you from driving your own vehicle. You can take it to a mechanic and risk them replacing every aspect of the system at your expense, or you can simply bypass it and keep the problem from ever coming back. http://newrockies.com/buy-from-me/
I got my pro bypass few months ago and installed by my self ,took me couple hours because wires on the old module were to short.I put the battery back and car started wright away.The only thing not working is radio there is a power and light on the radio and that is about it.I read the owners manual but what they saying on the manual doesn’t appear on my screen.My question is:on my probypass there was 7 wires but we connected only four[red on pink A-2 ,black on B-5 ,purple on yellow A-4 and green on blue A-3.Do you think that any of the three wires left have anything to do with radio not working.I called buick dealer to give me the code but they said that I have to go to their shop and they gonna charge me 50.00 $ for that “favor’ .Anything? By the way its 1994 buick lesabre limited.Thanks Dragan
Hi Dragan, NO the Pro Module will not effect the radio. The 2 systems are entirely separated and shouldn’t effect each other at all. The radio most likely locked when you unhooked the battery. I don’t know why GM does this, nobody steals factory radios
And the extra wires on the module are common. Our Pro Module is designed to fix every vehicle on our list, so there are different and extra wires for different applications.
Justin 1994 Oldsmobile 88
No problem Danielle, the Pro Module is a direct replacement for the Theft Deterrent Module (TDM) and anything security related leading up to and including the TDM will not be used, it will be BYPASSED. So YES, our Pro Module will work perfectly in your vehicle regardless of the changes you described.
This is my second time writing you guys. I have a 90 Camaro that starts maybe every 7 days. After maybe second or third time turning the key, the security light comes on. I initially thought it was the starter beceause it used to click when I turned the key, but it would eventually start. then it turned into me having to turn the key halfway and waiting three minutes, then ten minutes, now barely anything. Is this a VATS problem or something else?
Hey there Ohio, it is possible that this is a VATS issue especially since the security light comes on. This is normally a good indicator. The older years usually have the “starter immobilizer” as opposed to a fuel cut off. So the symptoms sound about right. Good news is that our Pro Module will bypass 100% of that security system on your Camaro and eliminate the security system entirely. (And i did answer your last question, was just on a different page,
) http://newrockies.com/buy-from-me/
Awesome and sorry if I came off like a jerk but this has been irking me for months. I know that you said the module comes with instructions, about how long does installation take?
No worries man, it’s frustrating as heck when this happens. Installs are always different per vehicle model, and subject to the installer’s skills as well, but i would think no more than an hour or two. I’ll Email ya something as well.
Changed the whole steering column car still wouldn’t crank still hear a clicking noise coming from under the Hood u think I can u this even though im not usein the original steering column and key
Yes Danielle, the installation should not be effected. Let me know what make,model, and year so i can make sure of this.
I have a 1997 Chevy Cavalier (original owner). It has 204,000+ miles on it and until a few days ago was a great vehicle. On my way to work I stopped at a gas station, filled up, went in a bought a soda and upon my return it wouldn’t start. It always started before. It would run for about a second or two and then shut off. Very frustrating. After trying to get it started and pushing it away from the pumps into a parking spot I noticed the THEFT SYSTEM light was illuminated. I towed the car home, and now the engine won’t even run for a second. The TS light is still on and the engine turns over just fine. Will this kit solve my issue? This car still gets great gas mileage and I’m sure still has years of commuting left in it. If only I can get that dang THEFT SYSTEM light turned off and the motor to fire again! Thanks a bunch.
Yes Kelsey, this is exactly what the Pro Module was designed to do and will work great on your Cavalier.
We have a 2005 Saab 95 2.3T w 119K it shut down we have done everything just sputters Seems like the security sys what do you think or have available Dave 207329 2602 TY
Sorry David, we only cover GM vehicles for now
My sons car is a used 2001 chevy blazer, vortex v6. It’s acting like its not getting fuel, like maybe a pump, spider injector, or some such not working. We’ve looked into the pump and its fine. The service engine soon light has been on since we got it, no security lights, ABS lighs on… Looks like Christmas with the dashboard even when it does run. The key doesn’t seem to have any indication it’s a VAT car… No chip in key, etc. but it does have the module, so maybe someone tampered with the system previously. I really want to try this bypass. Car has started a few times and runs a min or less, then dies like its not getting fuel. Frustrated!
Hi Kelly, here is some information that may help you determine if the security is the problem: The truck starts for 5 seconds or less and then stalls. Never more than 5 seconds. The security light should come on after it stalls, whether it be flashing or solid. If you think the light may have been tampered with, you should turn the key forward 2 clicks and look for the security light. It should always light up when you first get ready to start, and turn off after a few seconds. If the light is illuminated at initial key entry, but doesn’t come on when it stalls, you may have other issues not security related.
Hello
I am getting disperate, my 2000 Buick LeSabre Limited, is totally unreliable it starts only sometimes. I can not afford the tow fee’s let along a thousand plus dollars at a Dealership. A country mechanic is sure it is the security system. The car has 125 K miles if that anything to do with the problem. The vehicle has been electrically buggy the two years I have had it. Another car is impossiable. I did not find the 2000 LeSabre on the list of models covered….is this a mistake or does my car have some technical quirk that negates your system….Thanks WDC
Unfortunately we don’t cover the 2000 LeSabre. The system is different than all of it’s predecessors and we have not figured it out yet.
I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. My car has a flashing security light and a PK3 security system. It will run for a while and then the injectors get shut off and the car quits. I can only get it to restart by disconnecting the battery for 6-8 hours and it will restart and then will run for awhile and repeat.
I am fairly comfortable around a car. Is this module plug and play or is there some hard wiring involved. Where does it install? Do you offer express shipping?
Will this also disable the flashing security light?
Hi Rob, your situation sounds like a perfect fit for the Pro Module. It is not plug and play and yes there is some hard wiring involved. Never more than 5 wires and detailed instructions are given to you for location and also how to wire it. Yes the security light will be OUT after install. Most shipping takes 2-3 days nationwide, you can contact us for more info on shipping. http://newrockies.com/contact-us/
Hi Luke,
We have a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am and we believe we have a security issue. We just purchased the car a few days ago and the previous owner told us they thought it was the fuel pump. Since we were getting a good deal we figured replacing the fuel pump would be worth it. After taking the car to Pep Boys they thought it was an ignition problem, they replaced the whole ignition all wires and switch- the same day it happened again. We took the car back and they replaced 3 censors as well as the spark plugs. This too did NOT solve the problem. Pep boys then took it to a computer guy who who informed us it would be a $800-$900 fix!!! we did research and came across the 10 minute trick but it is such a hassle and a pain! I am so happy to have some across your page and am wondering if this will work for us????
I did want to mention, we were waiting for food and had the car in park with the air on, the car shut off on us and wouldn’t start until we did the trick again. Could this have anything to do with the security system??? Hoping to purchase within the next day or 2 if it does. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Grace, unfortunately the security system is designed to only shut down the vehicle within 5 seconds of starting it. So if the car has been running for say 10 minutes and then shut down, this can not be a security problem. You may have something further up stream that is effecting the vehicle and making it appear like the security is failing. Also, when most vehicles stall, the security light will come on as well.
D you think it could be the BCM??? Our dome light has been switching… We had the car in pep boys all weekend just for them to give us a complete refund and tell us it was a security issue. And now I am not even sure. We picked up the car yesterday and last night we tried to start the car and the engine would not crank or nothing then everything started to slowly die. And then the car was saying it was overheating when it wasnt. We jumped the car successfully but we are clueless as to what could be the problem.
It very well could be. You need to take it to a qualified mechanic with electrical experience who can run a good diagnostic on it. At the very least just to see what is TRULY wrong with it.
First of all thanks for the information on this website and for making the product. I am wondering if the PASS system is causing my problem becuase after reading the stories and symptoms I think it is. I have a 2003 Monte Carlo SS that has been running fine for years but in the last two weeks have seen the SECURITY light go on and off intermittently while driving. Did not think much of this as I did not have any clue about this security system problem – just figured I would get it checked out soon. This past Saturday the car finally would not start in a grocery store parking lot. I turn the key, hear the dings and the dash lights up but no crank or even clicking (like a dead batt would give). Tried jumping the car to no avail. Have tried the “10 minute” trick but the warning light does not go off – just keeps alternating between SECUIRTY and SERVICE ENGINE SOON. Windows work but power door locks do not – not even with two different fobs. It would appear that no button on either fob does anything anymore (i.e., lock, unlock, trunk and panic) and I find it hard to believe BOTH fobs would die at the same time. So, do you think it is PASS causing my headache and if so, is there anywhere I could read or see the steps to install your product? That would help me decide whether to do it myself (I’m KINDA handy) or have a shop do it. Thanks!
Hi Lou, the symptoms you describe are right in line with a security failure. The only thing i see that is kind of off is the Key Fob thing. This may be due to the security failing or the security failure may be due to whatever caused the fobs to quit working. Sorry i can’t help narrow it down any more. Our Pro Module will definitely bypass the security, but i can’t promise anything on the Fob issue. Remember we do have a 30 day money back guarantee if it were to not fix your “no start” issue. No questions asked.
hi i have a 94 formula with the lt1 350. i was driving one day and my car died ever sense then i cant get the car to start. the distributor and ignition is working just fine the way it should i belive im getting fuel but not 100% in these years was the vat system ment to shut down the fuel? i have remote start on my vehicle and am very iggnorant on the subject of security system so is there any way that someone can please help!?
Hi Dahlton, one thing i can tell you is this, the security system can/does shut the fuel injectors off, but it only does this in the first 5 seconds of starting the vehicle. It will never shut down the car while driving. You may have something else going on.
If the vats module is defective, does the security light warn of this, or is the security light just for the defective ignition wires ?
Yes Paul it does. The security light is controlled by the VATS module or Theft Deterrent Module and will illuminate when that module is bad also. This system doesn’t give you any hints on the problem part, i wish it did.
Howdy! I just want to offer you a big thumbs up for your excellent info you have right here on this post.
I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
I have a 2002 chevy impala my car will start up first thing in the morning when headed for work but after work it will crank but wont completely start I would have to wait a hour then it starts but now recently it will crank lights come on radio etc so I know the battery isnt dead I even got a fuel pump put on a new one and car still doing the same thing the security light is flashing only when i turn the key but not while driving do you think I need your system for my problem
Hi Angie, it is normal for the security light to come on when you first turn the key. It should stay on for a few seconds and then go out. If you try to start the car and does not start, and the security light remains on, then i would say you have a security issue that our Pro Module will fix. If you are still driving the vehicle, be aware of the light. If the security light comes on at all while driving, that is a dead give away of failure. It should NEVER come on while driving in normal operation.
Did you got my order? or email?
Please reply me.
I need a help.
thanks
Hello Sungjun, yes we received and shipped it on April 28th. I’m sure there will be a slight delay with customs and shipping to South Korea.
HELP! Security light on dash and car won’t start or turn. How can I bypass the security consul?
thanks
Hi Cole, if your vehicle is listed on our website, our Pro Module will bypass the system and allow your vehicle to start again.
1999 S10 2.2 liter, flashing security light, no injector pulse, have spark and correct fuel pressure, will your PRO module fix this??
Sounds like a perfect example of security failure to me Ted. And yes our Pro will bypass this problem and get you passed this issue.
I got a 1994 chevy caprice Ls 5.7 and I had a wreck, the bumper is smashed but when I went to take it to the body shop, the “past key fault” light will not turn off and I cant get the car to make a sound… The Chevy dealership in my city is dodging my calls because they don’t know how to fix the issue.. Im curious about this product because I don’t want to purchase it and I cant install it myself, so Im skeptic about ordering it because I might have issues finding a mechanic who can install this product.. Is it simple to install???
Hey Archie, most mechanics will have absolutely NO problem installing our Pro Module. It is literally 5 wires or less and we provide detailed pictured instructions similar to those that any mechanic uses on a daily basis. We do have a NO QUESTIONS ASKED 30 day money back guarantee for situations just like this. Sometimes the Pro Module is bought and not needed or misdiagnosis, just return it in 30 days for 100% money back.
Hi Justin:
My 04 Grand Am with 291,000 kms on it, suddenly would not start yesterday, leaving me stranded 40 miles from home. The Security light, oddly enough, had come on for a brief period last week while I was driving, but the car remained running well. Yesterday, out of the blue, it wouldn’t start and the light was flashing. My son, who is more mechanically inclined than I, tried to get to the spark plugs but realized he needed a specialty tool on that model. This morning, after Googling the problem, we tried the 10-minute trick and it fired up and then quit after about 3 seconds, then would’nt even fire after that. The Security light now does not flash but stays on while the key is turned to ON. Does this sound like something your PRo will take care of?
Yes Mark, this is exactly what our Pro Module was designed to fix and should work perfectly for you.
If the Passlock has already gone off, and is currently disabling my car from starting, will this fix it? I just got a call from the Dealership that the passlock is the issue for my car, and I can have it out the door for ONLY $1170!! That includes taxes and shop fees! oh boy was I just THRILLED to find out that their own security measure locked up when I used my own key for the car and how happy I must be feeling to ONLY spend 1200 of my own money to get their crap of a system back up and running again. Saturn, year 2000, model SL1. or SL2 ill have to double check. I don’t even think my car is worth 1200. Id much rather your alternative come save the day.
I totally feel your pain Matthew. Yes our Pro Module will work, EVEN if the car is already disabled by the antitheft. Our Pro Module will bypass the security and allow you to drive and run your car again like a normal car should.
will it work for Pontiac Aztek 2003?
Sorry Valentine, we do not cover the Aztek at this time.
Hey. I have a 86 corvette and I have always had trouble with the security system. I had it to a shop years back and they replaced something on the car but it only lasted a short time. So it’s been parked now for a few years and I need her back up and running. Someone had broken in the car last year and busted up the ignition, so I used a screw driver to turn it over and it did ,but wouldn’t start so I sprayed some carb cleaner in the intake and it would catch , but then it stopped turning over and nothing . I was thinking it was the vats again would u agree ??? Do u think your product can fix the problem.. Thanks rodney from Canada
Hi Rodney, it is true that the security system can actually turn off the starter, the injectors, or both to prevent theft. You may be experiencing a security problem especially since you’re using the old screwdriver key. Our Pro Module will bypass 100% of your security system and eliminate any threat of it returning. After installing our Pro, you won’t need a VATS ignition anymore. So if you are going to fix that, any ignition will work.
I have a 01 Pontiac Grand Am GT1, I get that annoying security light blinking like every 10 or so times starting the car through the day. Its getting annoying to do these 10 to 15 min cycle of resetting the security system. Will this pro module help fix this security issue?
Oh yes Steve, our Pro Module was designed to fix this problem, and this problem alone.
I have a ’94 camaro. The anti-theft system was draining the battery in my vehicle, and I didn’t have the money, so a shop just ran a new ground wire around the anti-theft system, then my car did the stalling thing after a second, and I need a better solution. Will this product work with my vehicle?
Yes Wesley, our Pro Module will bypass 100% of your system. Literally… every aspect will be eliminated.
Well I have a 05 impala and was driving it When security light came on and car shut down I waited ten min and started it back up car would only go 20 mhp if went any faster car would try to die security light staied on what could it mean and how to get it to drive against
Well Lee, the security system will not shut down the vehicle while driving. It can only function in the first 5 seconds after starting the vehicle. You may have something else failing that is appearing to be the security.
I have a 99 chevy blazer that starts for a few seconds and then the secutity light comes on and it dies will this work on my truck
Yes David, this is exactly what the Pro Module was designed for, and will fix up your Blazer perfectly.
I have 2001 aztek the car wont crank i have an error message all the gauges but the speedometer stay at 0 when the car is running the auto shop i took it to said the were scanning it when it suddenly started up is this a security issue or do i need to replace the bcm? als will your product really work for my car?
Unfortunately Ramiro i don’t believe your problems are security related and the Aztek is not a vehicle that our Pro Module will work on.
My 2002 alero has been iffy for months. I have done the key “on” switch multiple times to reset the security system. But those days seem to be over. I drove my car to my friends house and when I went to leave my car wouldnt start. The car was cranking and turning over very well, it just wouldn’t start. Would this help it all?? Thank you!
Hi Corbyn, the best way to know for sure is if you see a visible icon on the dash somewhere that says security or antitheft when it doesn’t start. Then you know for sure that our Pro Module will fix the problem. If you try to start it, and one of these lights is on, then you have a security issue and our Pro will bypass your system perfectly.
I just want to say for all of those people out there with doubts that this pro-module thing is AWESOME ! I went to my local dealership and the service guy points to the wall and says. 98.00 an hour shop rate, couldn’t tell me how much it would cost but said to expect at least 1200.00 plus parts. His quote was.. ” Those security system failures can take our techs in all kinds of directions” ? So I have a 2003 Chevy Express 1 ton Van with barely 40 thousand miles on it and a dealership can’t give me a straight answer??
The van sat for literally weeks, Purchased the Pro Module on Sunday and here it is Wednesday and I am now driving my van. Fantastic service. Easy to install very detailed PDF directions !! and I don’t do car work for a living, used a ratchet to remove the dash panel, wire strippers, soldering iron,silver solder and shrink tubing. about an hour and then the 35 minute re-learn proceedure. Van fired right up, even drove to town and got dinner to celebrate. Thanks guys, you Canadians are geniuses !
Thank you Jerrold for taking the time to leave a comment for us and everyone to see. We always love hearing the many success stories and we at Newrockies are happy to have helped. Thanks again.
I have 2004 Trailblazer LT. A couple months back I ran into an issue where my door locks were switching on and off. Also icons on the dash were lighting up. Dash was resetting itself. All this was happening while I was driving it. I pulled into work and noticed my headlights were flashing on and off. So I did some research and found out that the ICP could cause this. So I removed it. Since removing it, it was doing better. Coincidentally? I dunno. Then the other day at 2:30am in the morning the security system started going off. That ended with me running around it like a chicken with it’s head cut off trying to figure out the issue. Car would not start at all and the alarm was going off repeatedly with no chance of it going off. Then it would stop and then start honking obnoxiousness continuously as if that was it’s “Rape Whistle”. Anyways, I ended up removing the battery cable and going to bed. Next day I contacted the family backyard mechanic. He told me it was caused by the ICP and the BCM. He took $300 of my money and said he would get the parts for a discount obviously. Since then it’s as if he ran off with my money. I haven’t been able to get in contact with him or will he respond to me with proper communication of his status. I have since then had to drive the car to the bank. So when I plug the battery back in and start it up. It runs super rough. Very rough idle as if it’s going to die at every stop. (doing some research says it has to relearn everything). But also was instructed to remove the battery cable when I go inside places for a long period of time as it may start the crazy security alarm issue again. SO, I’ve pretty much given up on the guy fixing this issue. I know this is going to cost an arm and a leg to fix with the dealer. I was wondering if this “PRO Module” of yours would get me out of my jam? Does this sound like a possible candidate?
Hi Joe, unfortunately this is a completely different issue. You are dealing with an alarm system and possibly a bad BCM. Our Pro Module bypasses the anti theft system, not the alarm system. I’m sorry, but i don’t think our Pro Module can help you. Sorry for the bad news, i hope you can get it worked out.
I have a 97 Pontiac firebird ive had the car 5 years the theft light and security lite are both on the security lite is flashing the theft light is solid the start isnt even making an attempt at turning over i have a new start that i picked up but havent installed it yet would the PRO fix the problem or is it the Starter?
Yes Michael, this is a classic symptom of security failure. The antitheft security system can shut off the starter, the injectors, or both to prevent theft. Sounds to me like you have been “starter immobilized” and since you have visible security and theft lights, i can almost promise you our Pro Module will work perfectly for you. You have all the signs and symptoms.
I have a 2001 alero and security light stays on all the time. Sometimes the car will start and sometimes im waiting 5-10 minutes for it to start. I recently put a brand new fuel pump in car thinking that was the issue. It wasnt!!!! Does the security light feature disable the fuel pump from cutting on because I noticed when it wont start I dont hear the fuel pump. Also when I do get it stafted I can start driving a short distance and then all of a sudden it will die on me?
Hey Cameron, the system can only shut down the starter or injectors. So there is no chance that the fuel pump will be effected. Also the system can only shut down the injectors within the first 5 seconds of starting the vehicle. So you shouldn’t be able to get too far before it shuts you down.
Sometimes when I go to start my car it says, “remove key and wit 3 minutes”. the it will start when the car says to start it. Is this a problem your module will fix on a 1997 Cad Eldorado?
Hi Sal, YES this is exactly what our Pro Module is designed to fix.
I have a 95 caprice that was running one minute and would not start two hours later and hasn’t since. The pass key light is on. How much does it usually cost to reboot the computer or buy a new key with the chip?
Hi Mark, keys are cheap these days. A reboot might be a little more money guessing you’ll have to tow to the dealer. The trouble with the VATS system on your 95 caprice is that there is no relearn procedure. You can try leaving the key forward for ten minutes to reset the Theft Deterrent Module, but if you have to do this, it is a precursor to an all out failure. The VATS system was GM’s first attempt at theft prevention and the system is quite “stupid”. There is no relearning, or programming, only replacement of parts.
Hello I have installed the resistor already near the ignition but it still acted up at times. I dont have a flashing security light. will this help me I know I cant hear the fuel energize when trying to start
Hi Michael, 99% of the time there should be a SECURITY light illuminating when the security shuts down the car. If you can’t hear the fuel pump, that might be your problem. The security doesn’t shut down the fuel pump, only the injectors in some cases. You can always try our Pro Module to be sure, we do have a 30 day money back Guarantee, but it sounds more like a fuel issue from what you describe.
Thanks for the info. Where can i get one of your pro module so i dont need the TDM? I figure the running problems have something to do with the MAP sensor, because my buddy hooked up his computer and the preasure never changed. Even with a brand new sensor it read the same. Previously i had followed the wires all the way under the dash but see nothing wrong thats why i though it might have something to do with VATS system.
Here is a quick link to purchase a Pro Module. Hope everything works out well for you. http://newrockies.com/buy-from-me/
I have a 1991 camaro rs and when i bought it the ignition was torn apart . I ended up putting resistors on the two white wires going to the ignition bypassing the pass key, but the security light still came on and it would die when i would stop at a stop sign, it will run good in mid range, but wants to die in high range also. I put a good ignition out of another chevy but didnt work, so i had a new aftermarket ignition with a built in bypass, and that doesnt work. All of the keys will turn everything on but will not role over engine because of VATS system. How do i fix this without resistors?
Hello Joel, i read your comment and iv’e got 2 pieces of information for you. The VATS system consists of 3 communicating parts: The chip key, the ignition, and the Theft Deterrent Module. The resistor bypass only bypasses the key and ignition portions, leaving the TDM still functioning in the system. So the bypass you have done is not complete. Our Pro Module will bypass this completely 100% and you can literally remove the TDM if desired.
You mentioned the vehicle dying while driving. The VATS system will not cause the car to stall while driving. It is designed to prevent theft from the very first attempt. It will read your key in the first five seconds of insertion and will determine if it lets the vehicle start and run. If the vehicle was stalling from the VATS, it will have done it in that first 5 seconds, not while driving.
i have a 2004 oldsmobile alero,,will it work with my car?
Hi Amy, yes we cover the 2004 Alero and our Pro Module will get that car moving again.
I have a 99 Chevy c2500 work truck no chip in the key. I am using it as a donor truck for the engine and transmission. The swap is done except it starts then dies 2 seconds later. Have been told I need to bypass theft deterrent module. Would your product work in my case ?
Hi Curt, we see this problem a lot. Most of the time we can make it work. You’ll need to send a message for support on the “Contact us” page. http://newrockies.com/contact-us/ Our support staff can normally find a way to make this work. Just be sure to be as descriptive as possible. What year and vehicle you got the motor from, what it’s going in, and what electronics/computer you are using from which vehicle. I’m sure we can help you out.
I have a 1996 Buick Regal Gran Sport. At first my vehicle would start but be misfiring all over the place. That changed into the vehicle starting but dieing right out and/or cranking with no start. Lately, my vehicle has no crank at all but there is lights and everything. It seems to happen after the car has a had a chance to warm up and i shut it off then sometime later go to restart it. It seems to happen at random as well. If i hold the ignition to the start position eventually it would start up. I’ve replaced the spark plugs originally. The battery checks out fine. I believe it to be some sort of electrical problem(crank position sensor, perhaps a bad ground somewhere, i don’t know exactly) but i’ve never came across this where it seems to be spreading to different electrical components of the car, if that makes sense. I was wondering if you think this bypass system of yours would fix this problem. Thanks in advance.
Hi Chris, the security on the Regal 96 is a “starter immobilizer”. So when the security is not functioning correctly, the starter and ONLY the starter will be turned off. All of those other issues are not caused by security failure. Honestly i think you have another issue and our Pro Module will most likely not help you.
will this system work on a 2000 pontiac bonneville?
if not wats my other option?
Unfortunately we don’t cover the 2000 Bonneville. I’m afraid your only option is a really good electrical mechanic or the dealer.
This is going to be long winded, but I want to give you as much detail as possible.. please advise if my situation will be fixed by your pro module(or another means, as it seems that you know everything about this subject *smiley face* )
2003 Buick Century, about 3 years ago the car intermittently started not starting.. just nothing when I turned the key.. The resistor chip was loose so I figured that was the issue. I would wait a few minutes, wiggle the chip then it would start. It acted like it wasn’t making contact with the two rollers in the black plastic part of the ignition switch. This fix worked for the last 3 years. Then one day it didn’t. Nothing at all worked, not even praying (for you die-hard evangelicals! Yes, I was given that advice). I called a locksmith, he said the ignition cylinder lock would need changed, that was $129 at my local parts store. I figured I could make something else work. I looked in junk yards all around. No ignitions were available. So I ordered one from Rock Auto. It was $43 some closeout special, way better than $129 at least. I installed it and then realized the keys that come with it aren’t chipped.. They are only there to laugh at you while you cry about not having a car that works. Looking further into the issue, I noticed that the black part of the ignition that houses the electronic portion, can be removed, so I swapped the black parts from the old to the new ignition, thinking the old key would be able to turn the ignition and also send the right resistor signal to the GM “we hate you” theft deterrent system.
No luck.. I found some “reset” instructions I think I followed them correctly.. Turn the ignition “on” wait ten minutes, off, repeat X3. Then it should work.. nope. Nothing. Then there was another one. Use a wrong key, try to start.. then wait three minutes, and the right key would start it.. nope..
At some point I had a duplicate key made that previously worked.. so I now have two ignition cylinder locks, one old one new, both don’t work, and I need to get my car running for as low cost as possible, and quickly, since my wife hates waking up at 5am to take me to work… I will now wait to hear from you.. hopefully you have great news..
–James in Boise
Hello James. If indeed the security system is what was keeping your vehicle from starting, our Pro Module will fix this problem. It doesn’t matter what ignition you decide to install, and you won’t need “chipped” or “smart” keys anymore. Our Pro Module installs further “Down Stream” and will eliminate all the security in the ignition, so that won’t be an issue anymore.
Thanks for the reply.. I have ordered it. Hopefully all my issues are dealing with the theft deterrent system.. Can’t wait to drive my car again!
My wife has a 2001 Camaro. One morning she gets in it to go to work, turns the key and nothing happens. All of the dash lights, headlights work. When you turn the key to crank everything goes off and there is no sound of trying to crank. No warning sign before this of anything going wrong with the car. We checked the starter, battery and relays and everthing checks good. We bypassed the relay with a wire and the car cranks for two seconds and then goes dead. Everything we read points it toward the TDM (theft deterant module). We find this part on newrockies.com and decided to try it out instead of paying over 1,000 dollars to get the Anti-theft fixed. Installed it yesterday and it cranked right up. Can’t thank you enough Newrockies for this part.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I was having days that it would take over 2 hours for my Hummer H3 to start and the stress of wondering every morning if I was going to be to work on time. Since I bought the module and had Auto Pro of Hilton Head install it I have not had one problem starting the Hummer. Again thank you so much.
How long does shipping take and do you receive a tracking number?
Also what service do you use to ship the product?
We use USPS Priority Mail
Hi John, shipping should be around 2-3 days and you can contact us about a tracking number. http://newrockies.com/contact-us/
I have a 1999 buick lesabre. Security light. Stays. On. Will. Not crank. There.
Is a selnoid. Clicking. When. I try. To start. Will. This. Work on. My. Car.
Yes Dean, this will work for your car. That clicking is the TDM failing.
I have a 2000 chevy venture with the passkey theft detterent module and pcm will this bypass work for me I noticed my vehicle wasn’t listed as one that this system works with
I’m sorry Mike, but we stop at 99.
Hi. I have a 2003 Chevy Express V6 that recently showed all the problems you describe. It wouldn’t start and the security light, which I didnt even know was there, was blinking when I turned on the key. Somehow it started about 10 minutes later after I had tried a few times. But I do not have a key with a chip in it, and have never used the new keys that came with the Van after I had plain metal copies made? I have old roll-up windows and manuel door locks too. I guess I still need to install the bypass? Any style Van still has the anti-theft systems in them? Thanks…
Yes Steve, if you have a security light, then you have an antitheft system. From what you describe, our module will work for you.
I have a 2001 pontiac grand am se.
I have been having the security light issue. With it blinking. Now my radio wont work, gauges dont sweep and the only light on is the service.engine soon light. Starts up and dies 2 seconds later. My door locks and windows wont.work. i got it to.run the othrr night, and started it three four times in a row, then this morning went out and it went.back to the radio.not powering on, gauges not sweeping, locks and windows not working and starts up and dies immediatly.
Will this product fix my car?! I am at wits end with this car and nothing is working that i do. Am im dire need of this..
Unfortunately Preston, you have a lot more going on than just the security. Whatever is failing “upstream” is probably making the security fail too. You may have ground problems or BCM failure. I don’t think our Pro Module will help you in this case.
Hi I have a 2003 Saturn Vue. My security light flashes. Then my steering wheel gets stiff and its hard to turn the wheel. This week it wouldn’t start. Will the help turn off the security light.
Hello Satin, i hope this isn’t happening while driving. If the car is dying while driving it most likely isn’t the security. The light only comes on because the car stalled. The security system should only shut you down in the first 5 seconds after starting the vehicle.
Hello Justin, My Saturn security light flashes the whole time I’m driving the truck. After driving for about 40minutes the steering wheel get stiff. While driving the service light with tool symbol comes on also. Is it something else besides security light? I went to the shop and they couldn’t find any codes wrong with it. Besides that the truck everything else is fine.
This is a question i would send to our support staff. You can contact them here. http://newrockies.com/contact-us/ You may have a low voltage issue. That would bring on the security light and also effect other parts of the vehicle. Maybe look for a bad alternator. Definitely ask our support staff this question.
I want to purchase one, but i need help. Is there a customer service number or someone that can contact me?
Hello Pontina, i’m sorry but we do not have a service number. You can contact us at http://newrockies.com/contact-us/ for any questions or if you need help
You Really Deleted My Comment with out even responding ?
Hi David, it’s on this page. http://newrockies.com/buy-from-me/
Will this work on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am? Dealer is saying that for this year you cannot bypass the security system.
Hi Sha, it is a common misconception that you cannot bypass any system after the VATS system that ended in the late 90′s. Our Pro Module can and will bypass the Grand Am from 1996-2005.
I have a 2001 Buick Lesabre with increasing unknown driver security issues. Will your module work for me?
I’m sorry Chris, but we only cover the LeSabre from 1982-1999.
Is this a programmer how does it work nd I have the same problem with an 04 impala not wanting to start sometimes how do I get one of these products
Hi again Rene, if the problem you are experiencing is indeed coming from the security system, our Pro Module will bypass and fix your problem. You can order on this link http://newrockies.com/pro/
Is this a programmer or wt is it ? How do I get one for an 04 impala
Ho Rene, Our Pro Module is a stand alone devise that ties into you car’s system and gives the computer the correct signal that it needs to allow the vehicle to start and run like it should.
I have a 2005 Chevy Impala which also try’s not to start sometimes. When it does that, it seems to take about 10 minutes to reset. Also, I understand that you say it will get worse, how bad can it get. It seems to be happening a couple of times a week. I just had the alarm taken out. I thought that might have been part of the problem, I guess it wasn’t. Will your product work for my car and how does it work.
Hi Steve, it can get to the point where the car won’t EVER start at all. When it won’t start, look for a light on the dash somewhere that says SECURITY or ANTITHEFT. Only when this light is flashing or on solid, do we know that the security has failed and if our Pro Module will fix it. And yes we cover your vehicle 2000-2011 Impalas.
I have a chevy Impala LS 2004- all of a sudden it will not start- (can’t hear anything-it’s just dead)- I want a few minutes and it starts. This happens infrequently.
Then twice this week as I am driving down the road the car literally stops dead. Everything freezes up, power steering, brakes, etc.
I have had it to 2 different shops and they cannot find anything wrong wiht it- they had checked for codes and nothing comes up- but this morning as I turned on the car the security light came on and stayed on during my drive.
Is it possible that my problem all along was a security issue?
Hi B, the security system will NOT disable the vehicle while driving. If the security won’t allow the car to run, it will be within the first 5 seconds of starting. Never while driving. You may have something else going on that is also effecting the security system.
Will this work on a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero? My security light is blinking and car will not start. The turn key to on for 10 min. trick will get it started, but then it wont start again. Also how complicated is your system to install? How long does it take?
Hi Robert, yes we cover the 2003 Alero. From what you describe, our Pro Module will work perfectly. As far as install goes, every car is a little different. We provide detailed instructions with illustrations and step by step directions for your specific vehicle.
Hello,
I was wondering if the system works for a 2008 Saturn Astra.
Sorry Egan, not yet.
Hi, I just want to make sure will the pro now work on a 2002 buick century?
Thanks
Yes Patrick it will. We cover the Century from 1994-2005.
Will this. PRO module work on my saturn ion 2003???
Yes Jeannie, it surely will
i have a 2000 buick lesabre.my security light comes on every 5-8 starts and stays on until i reset it manually and that takes 30 minutes or so.sometimes longer.ive noticed your product stops at 1999 for lesabres.do you not have a module for 2000 and up lesabres yet?
Sorry Mario, unfortunately we have not cracked the 2000 yet.
i just bought a 2000 chevy impala off craiglist..runs great but the security keeos flashing and lights and locks going on and off..bought new battery and alt test came back good..please help
Hi Bessie, our Pro Module will definitely bypass your security, but i don’t think it will help the door locks. You may have something upstream causing both the security AND door lock issue.
Hey! I’ve had your product installed in my car for over a year now and it’s still working properly to this day! The problems initially began when I replaced the radio but your bypass fixed the problem. I am considering selling my car though and want to take the new stereo out and replace it with it’s factory one, will this effect the bypass in anyway? Thanks again!
Corynne, installing the factory radio will not affect the bypass you should have no issues.
i have a 1998 chevy astro and start for a few second and dies. the security light is on
Hi Javier, we cover 1998-2005 on the Astro/Safari and will bypass the security system just fine.
Hi, my neighbor has a 99 chevy express 1500 5.7L van that is having these security issues.
What happens sometimes is they will try to start it and it will fire but die immediatly (less than 1 second) then just crank like no spark or fuel. sometimes it will fire right up afterwords and be fine for a month or so then act up again. Other times it will fire then die and not restart for half hour or so. When this happens the security light flashes.
Does this sound like something your bypass box will fix?
Thanks,
Paul
Hello Paul, this sounds exactly like what our Pro Module was designed to fix. The van’s security system is starting to fail, that’s why you start sometimes and not others. It actually shuts down the injectors when it is not functioning properly, believe me it will only get worse.
Ok I’ll let them know and more than likely they will buy one from you guys to get rid of this for good
Hi, I have a 2001 Olds Alero, I’ve had this issue over the years and new how to “bypass” it when it reared its ugly head. However today is something different. I came out and the Key Fob would not work, so I manually unlocked car. When I tried to start I could tell that the fuel from the engine was being shut off. It runs for about a second and then shut down. This is what occured in the past when I did the “reset” trick of leaving in the “ON” position for 10 minutes. Today I noticed that the “security” light which had been on steady for all the years finally is not turning on the dash. Would this “fix” finally solve this issue for me, at wits end with the money I have spent over the past 12 years not realizing this issue and having this headache always appearing in the worest time.
Hi Frank, it sounds like this system has been bad for a long time. That security light should never be on. If it has been on for years, i would say that it was or is failing. Our Pro Module will bypass this security system.
Hi, my camaro 1994, gets me freak, and my wife and my 2 years old has been affected for the DEAD RAMDOM SITUATIONS of the car… how can i buy this? can i see pictures of the system? i can install by myself? thanks
Hello Zeuxis, here is a link to buy http://newrockies.com/buy-from-me/ and i’ll send you some more info to your Email so you can see how the system works.
Hello Luke, just did a successful install on my daughters grandam. Thanks to You,your staff and your product! I will recommend this solution to everyone I meet. Another satisfied customer,Bill. Pops Garage, Open 24/7
Hey guys, I have a 2003 Chevy Impala that will infrequently refuse to start. Turn the key in the ignition, the radio turns on, the dash lights turn on, the SECURITY light turns on, it makes a few “ding” sounds (like if your seatbelt isn’t on) but the engine doesn’t even try to start. Does this sound like an issue that could be solved with the PRO Module?
Hey Karly, This sounds exactly like the problem our Pro Module will solve.
I got a 94 Pontiac Trans Am… according to your website this just might be the fix I’m looking for. Security light is on and the car won’t start. If started it will run for 5 seconds or so then cut off. Car was at an auto shop getting a rebuilt transmission when they came across this problem… they think it’s the aftermarket alarm that’s in the car (of which I had no idea was in there after owning the car for two years). After hours of research I think its the GM VATS system. I don’t have the contact info of the guy I bought the car from… so which one is it??
Hello Uche, i would lean toward the the car’s original security system. The VATS system. I don’t think the aftermarket alarm would act in this manner, and i i’m sure that the aftermarket system would not turn on the car’s SECURITY light. I believe you are experiencing a security failure which our Pro Module will fix.
How many parts come with the pro module kit? For a 99 Lumina?
Hi Sela, we sell one product which is our Pro Module. It is ONE unit that gets wired into a certain location depending on the vehicle. We provide instructions for your specific vehicle’s installation.
I have a 2002 Monte Carlo that is having the security light on when I drive. I reset this vehicle’s security once when I was locked out and I don’t want to do it again. Can this system work for my vehicle and if so can any mechanic put it on.
Yes George, this will work for your vehicle. We provide detailed instructions and any mechanic should have no problem installing.
Hi does your module not work for 1995 Cavaliers anymore? I was hoping this would be my solution!
Sorry Ethan, only 2000-2005 for cavaliers.
I HAVE A 2002 MONTE CARLO SS. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT HAS ANTITHEFT ON IT SINCE I JUST GOT THE CAR,BUT IT WILL RUN GREAT THEN ALL AT ONCE IT WONT START. WE PUT A NEW FUEL PUMP ON IT. NOW I CAN HEAR THE PUMP RUN.IT HAS GOOD SPARK BUT ACTS LIKE INJECTORS ARE NOT GETTING POWER. IF IT SITS FOR 3 HOURS OR SO IT MAY START. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE FIX?
Hey Gary, sounds like symptoms of SECURITY failure. Maybe somebody pulled the bulb for the security light or it may be something else all together. Who knows? Normally there will be a light on the dash somewhere that says SECURITY or ANTITHEFT. From what you told me i would say YES the car does have an antitheft system, and maybe our Pro Module will fix it. If indeed this is being caused by the antitheft system malfunctioning, then our Pro Module will fix it.
do u have pro module for a 2000 chevy venture have problem with car not cranking over not get enough fuel not fuel pump. somebody bypass fuel pump fuse with fuelpump relay now car starts but battery drain out have to jump start car
Hello Laronda, i’m sorry but our Pro Module does not work on your 2000 Venture.
I have a 2002 Pontiac aztek. I had the ignition lock cylinder replaced with a new key. I had a lock smith “sync” the key with the car. It drove for about a week and it stopped starting with my security light coming on when I try. Does your module work on Azteks?
Unfortunately Ashley, we don’t cover that vehicle. I’m sorry we couldn’t help you.
I have a 2002 impala, it will start then go dead within 30 seconds. After that, it will not turn over. Do you think this will fix it? Thanks
Hi Philip, it is hard to tell for sure, but normally the security system will only shut down the car within the first 5 seconds of starting it. Anything after that may not be caused by the security.
Do you have one for a 2003 Chevy Malibu?? Have been having this problem for 2 years….
Hello Leah, yes our pro module will work on your Malibu
I have a 98′ GMC 1500. Will PRO work?
Hi Dusty, yes it will
1997 olds achieva will your pro module work on this car
Unfortunately Jay our Pro Module will not work for this vehicle. I’m sorry we couldn’t help you.
I would just like to thank you for making this PRO Module. It helped get our car (Cadillac, deville 1990) started again after we changed the starter and it locked us out. I really didn’t have the money to go to the dealer to have them fix it and was looking around the web for any kind of help and found you guys,you sure saved me a lot of money. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
So happy to hear it Barbara, thanks for taking the time to comment back and we wish you and your Cadillac the best.
will this by-pass work on 1998 grandam
Sorry Marcel, we haven’t quite figured that year Grande Am out yet.
I installed the PRO Module in my 98 Chevy Lumina, and it started!
(And the crowd went wild!)
Thank you for an affordable solution that worked!
Hi I have a 1993 Cadillac Seville sts and my security light stays lit. My fuel pump engages but when I try to start it I get nothing. I hear a few clicks from under the hood. Is that the vats system?
Unfortunately Darryel, that sounds exactly like a VATS failure. The good news is that we cover that year and make, and our module bypasses the security on your vehicle 100% with nothing being left active still. Install on this vehicle is a lot easier as well just due to location.
hi i have a chevy 97 cavalier i changed engine now anti theft light will not go off what can i do?
Hi Antony, unfortunately we don’t cover this year vehicle. What year make and model did you pull the engine from?
I have a 2002 impala my problem is that when im driving it sometimes the secuirty light will come on battery light and the radio will say locked the ligjts will blink and a clicking sound on the passagner side fuse box even when the car is off u can still hear the clicking sound and the inteior lights blinking too but the next day everything will be back normal for awhile
Hello Shelia, it sounds like you a lot more going on than just the security issue. I think maybe something “upstream” is causing these issues. Unfortunately our module will not fix all of this. It will bypass the security system, but it won’t fix everything you have going on. Personally i own a 2001 Impala and this car is an electrical nightmare. I currently have no dome lights, no dash lights, and occasionally no turn signals. So i completely know how you feel. Sorry we couldn’t help you.
thank u for that info… Shelia
I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am, owned about a month, it won’t start. The battery is fine but the battery and oil lights come on, when the car is off. I tried turning it to the on position for 15 min, then restarting and now the security light was on and the radio didn’t work? can you help me? Please?
Hi Julie, sounds like you have a lot going on. You might benefit more from our support staff who you can contact through the CONTACT US button, or right here. http://newrockies.com/contact-us/
After last night leaving the key in on position killed my battery, so I jumped it this morning, and the car starts now! I just don’t want it to happen again or be stranded. I am pretty certain it is connected to the security system.? maybe an old key? will your product work for that?
First thing first Julie, i would get a new battery or at least have that one charged very well. Low voltage can trigger a security failure so a new battery will eliminate that threat. If it is still acting up, or you just decide to be proactive, our module will definitely bypass the security system and take that problem out all together.
I have a 02 chevy impala, sometimes the car won’t start when u put the key in the ignition, sometimes it will start.. i have had people tell me its in the security system thru the radio…can it be the ignition switch is going bad…… let me know… thank u……
Well Ken, it’s not the radio. GM DOES use anti theft radios, but they are not part of the Car’s anti theft security system that effects starting the vehicle. If it is indeed the security system causing your NO START situation, there should be a light on the dash that says SECURITY or it may be in that information window. This light is a dead give away of a security issue. As far as the ignition question, Yes it may be the ignition. It may also be the key, the theft deterrent module in the BCM, or any of the wiring between these parts. The real hard part is finding which part is not working correctly. You can spend a lot of money chasing this. This is where our Pro Module comes into play, it bypasses all of these parts eliminating the system and allowing the car to work like normal.
Do Chevy Aveos have this TDM problem?
Yes, Aveos have a factory built in anti theft system but unfortunately we do not cover the Aveo with our module yet.
Will it work on my 1997 Buick Skylark?
(It’s not on your list)
Thanks
Sorry Paul, buy unfortunately that vehicles is not covered yet.
we have a 2002 chevy venture and the starter went out about a week ago and it ran for about a week or so after we replaced it and all the sudden it wont start and the security light is flashing. it wont click or anything. also we are using a spare key cause we misplaced the original key, not sure if that could cause this.
Hello Sondra, yes the key may be the cause. These keys are called transponder keys. They need to be programmed or the ignition will lock out the starter because it is not getting the input it needs from the key. I don’t know your exact timeline of when the problem started or when the key swap was made, but in the case of our Pro Module, it will bypass the system perfectly. You will also be able to use your key just like it is right now.
I’ve had this car for 5 years and had this prob. for at least 4 years. I got my Pro Module 3-8-13 and installed it on 3-10-13. Did as i was told on instructions and it started up after. i had my doubts so far so good we will see in time!! Happy Happy Happy!!! So far
Thanks
Luke!!!
