Re: passlock

i had the same problem. It was the chipless key. Have your dealer go further into the history codes. Thats what mine did and it said that my ignition was tampered with, because of the chipless key. The lesson is, DO NOT buy a key copy because you do not want to spend the 5 dollars for a real chevy key!
