Car Alarms: pass lock, remote starters, driving in the rain


Question
QUESTION: I have a 99 chevy sub. I have the issue with car not starting after rain. Security light stays on. sometimes I can cycle the key for ten minutes and it will clear. Car will run all day once it starts. It is when it sits overnight after driving in the rain. Any thoughts? It does have an after market door lock sysytem.

ANSWER: I think you are correct in the assumption that it's
your warn out passlock sensor in the ignition switch.

QUESTION: Chevy dear replaced the computer and the passlock sensor. What else could it be?

ANSWER: No idea. Not a mechanic.
Just a lowley old car alarm tech here :>(

If GM has already replaced things, not sure what could be done
as far as bypassing it. We do this work to add remote starters.
If they already flumixed it up, it's a guessing game.

Sorry man.

QUESTION: so one of your by pass systems will not work? I thought thats what they were for to by pass the pass lock and get around the security system?

Answer
I come from and installer's perspective.
We approach WORKING systems to remote start
them. If GM already
re did the system and it is still doing
that, it's a 50-50 shot this kit will keep it
bypassed. There simply may be something else,
involved here, so not commiting to a difinative
yes.

There's only an even chance it will do what
you want it to do. :>(
