This fixed my passlock problem!!!

I was having problems with the passlock as many others have been having as well. I took the ignition cylinder out and took it apart. To remove the ignition cylinder you have to press in on a pin that is on the back of the ignition cylinder with the key in and turn it and pull and it will pull out. To take the cylinder apart you all you have to do is line up the end with the groove on the inside of the cylinder, the part the key is in, with the channel on the outside of the cylinder and depress the part with a paperclip and slide it apart. There are a few small pieces and springs so be careful!! Now you just have to clean the contacts and reassemble it. That little cleaning saved my at least $300. I hope that this helps some with their problem!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may even try just cleaning it with carb cleaner and turning it without taking it apart and then blowing it out with air. I had not thought about that but looking back I think it shouldwork as well. TO lubricate it use graphite powder and your hopefully up and running

I too have a Passlock problem. I tried your fix mentioned but lost all understanding after I got the cylinder lock out. It looked as on piece yet your instructions say to line up or rotate the cylider. It looks like a solid piece that cant be twisted within itself. I see a chip and a inserted metal piece that contacts the key itself but no indication the unit itself can turn within itself. Any further instructions?
