Re: Starts When It Wants To
The blinking Security light means you have a problem with the Passlock system. Which I cant recall if is in the ignition switch itself or the lock cylinder, others have dealt with that problem too though, so they will probably chime in.
I too began having troubles with my ignition switch and the Passlock system not allowing me to start the car, often at the worst times of course.
I decided to take the more barbaric approach and disable the Passlock system completely, this is done by clipping the small yellow wire coming out of the ignition switch while the car is running since I did that, I havent had a single problem.
The downside is, that my Security light stays on all the time, but, no other adverse side effects.
There are other ways to trick the Passlock system, but, I just disabled it entirely.
This has been discussed before too, and if youre feeling adventurous you should make sure the yellow wire is the right one, I currently feel like crap and just got up to check my email, so my brain is mildly foggy.
It could be that you are having a problem with the Passlock portion of the ignition switch as well as the connection portions too...but again thats just a theory.
Thanks for your compliments as well, I try to be helpful when I can, but I dont know about knowledgeable, I think I just sound good sometimes haha.
