Re: Passlock & '96 Lumina LS
OK, first of all, if the key has a resistor, it's not a PassLock system, it's PassKey(also, the new lock cylinder will have a long wire harness).....and the special tool to read the key is just an ohm meter....
I assume you put the new key in the cylinder and turned the key a few times and removed it, before installing the cylinder, to make sure the key was ok....
If you did, seems like something wasn't aligned during installation of cylinder or you jammed something.....
However, since the key is stuck in the run position, you will have to take everything apart again.....remove the key in ignition contacts, and remove the torx screw holding the lock cylinder in.....since it is in the run position, it should pull out....you might have to create some slack in the white wires, to remove the cylinder.....
Since you have the air bag off and disconnected, just create enough slack in the wiring to the lock cylinder, so that it can be removed from the column.....look inside to see if there is something in there that shouldn't be.....now stick a large screw driver in the column to rotate the mechanism....rotate to accessory(radio should power up), then off, then run, and then crank position(if the resistor key is in the lock cylinder, the car will start when in the crank position)......
