Re: Starts When It Wants To
Ok,
I took my car to another dealer who gave me a quote on changing the ignition out. Over the phone they said it would cost $350, which I thought was a lot less than what another local dealer wanted to charge($700). I took it by and they said that they wanted to have it diagnoitic test ran on it to see why I have gone through so many switches (see orginal post). I got the results back and this is what they said:
"We checked over your vehicle, the following is a list of all repairs needed.
Found ignition passlock sensor failed which shorted out ignition switch-need to replace switch and passlock sensor –total-$876.62
Can not communicate with body control module, passlock sensor may be causing this concern or may be internal failure in module, we will not be able to determine until passlock sensor is replaced. If bcm is needed total-$508.57
Oil change –total-$30.18
Blower motor is excessively noisey-total-$27.77"
This passlock senor seems to be an issue with a lot of GM products. Why hasn't there been a recall on this?
LittleHoov it seems you had it right from the start. Now, I have already had this Passlock disabled, so if I change out the ignition, I shouldn't have a problem with it shutting down due to the Passlock right? I am thinking that this all leads to the ignition switch, which is bad due to being shorted out.
The module (computer) still has me concerned, but I don't want to put more money into it than the car is worth. Has anyone seen any control modules for sale?
