ARGGHHH! Passlock prob?

Step 1. Have you cut the yellow wire? If not, you will not get the correct resistance. Cut the yellow wire with the car off. Then put the car in reverse with the engine off. Turn the key to start, and while the key is turned, measure from the ignition switch end of the yellow wire, to the uncut black wire. You may have to measure several times, and average the values. The car should not start during this process. I think mine measured about 1500 ohms, but they are all a little different.

Step 2. Attach resistors between the other end of the yellow wire (non-ignition end) and the black wire. The resistors will make the BCM think the correct key is in the ignition switch. After this, any key that will turn the switch will start the car. The ignition end of the yellow wire is not used anymore, wrap it up out of the way somewhere.
You may have to do the relearn procedure after this, I don't remember since it's been 3 years since I installed my resistors.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for the explanation! I will try it ASAP and post the result!

iflylow & ponchonutty,

you are my heroes! After finally getting a correct mesurement for the resistors (hint: a k near Ohm means KILO; 930 Ohms aren´t the same as 9,30 kOhm, as I finally realized!) it was just a snap: I soldered the resistors in (2 x 4,7 kOhm), turned the key and everything was perfect. It wasn´t even necessary to do the relearning procedure.

Thank you for your invaluable help!
Stefan

Glad to help~
