Re: Security Light/PassKey III Issues
being the transmission is locked up in the car the buick dealership will not look at the car.
What does that mean? The transmission is locked up? I don't understand why a dealership wouldn't look at the vehicle..... |

Re: Security Light/PassKey III Issues
The transmission doesn't function,its locked up..the reason I bought the car..I was gonna put a transmission in it..then this security thing put a Hault to that..I told the service department at my local Buick dealership that the car would have to be towed and that the car won't roll due to the tranny being locked up and they said they won't touch the car until I put another tranny in it.

Re: Security Light/PassKey III Issues
This gets more and more interesting.......you buy a vehicle that doesn't start, with a transmission that needs to be replaced? And the vehicle is 14 years old? And you don't know if it has more problems because it was never driven?
Holy schmeckle! Yours repair costs, plus whatever you paid for the vehicle, makes this a losing battle..... |

Re: Security Light/PassKey III Issues
No , the car did run until the security engaged..I bought the car for $400 to replace the transmission.its a nice car other then the transmission needing to be replaced I removed the alternator and battery to get checked at a local auto parts store which both checked out fine I replaced the instrument cluster panel also.when I hooked the battery back up the security came on and been trying to get the car to crank ever since. And the car was drivable until the transmission went out in it.

Re: Security Light/PassKey III Issues
I'd put the old instrument cluster back in-- there are links to that through the computer that probably are causing the security problem-- that would need to be re-programmed in your ecm when changing cluster.
It's worth a test try anyway.... BTW how did you handle the mileage change on odometer?

Re: Security Light/PassKey III Issues
When I bought the newer/used cluster panel I was hoping that the ECU would have saved the cars mileage which I found out it didn't because the newer cluster panel is showing the mileage of the other car it came out of but it does give me several other options on the same LED screen like battery power,oil pressure,tire pressure etc which is good..So I'll have to Flash the ECU you're saying hence reprogram?

Re: Security Light/PassKey III Issues
Okay working on my 1993 olds 88 royal. Have spark to each plug, security light is not on when I try to start it. Starter turns the motor over and over but just don’t have any fire. I checked the fuel pump fuse and it looks good. Is there a way to check the fuel pump relay? Or narrow down if it’s a key problem. I do not hear the pump kick in when I turn the key to on. It ran when it was parked so just trying to get it running again. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
