Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for posting information on this problem.
I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE and all the associated problems (squeaking interior, brake problems, infamous leaking coolant gasket, and blinking security light).
I do have a quick question regarding remote starters. Reading some previous posts, a remote starter shouldn't experience the passlock issue. However, I have had 2 different remote starters on this car and both have occasionally received the blinking security light when using the remote starter. After 10 minutes, I can start the car fine.
Do you think the resistor fix will still work for me? Could it be something else causing this problem?
I was going to end this post with a "Member of the Anti-Passlock Club" but I think I'll go with "Member of the Anti-Pontiac Club".
Scratch that, "Member of the Death to GM and their shitty cars with shitty service Club"
