Cadillac Repair: security light, special key, c2500

Question
dear expert,
 i have a 1999 chevy c2500 5.7 that does not start.
could there be a secuirty problem if the light turns off like its supposed to when staring the vehilce. can the security system cause a problem if light shows to be no problem when working normaly? also how does this system secure the vehicle if the key is a regular metal key?


Answer
Hi Mark,

Just because the engine does not start, don't blame the junk PASSLOCK. There is nothing special about this system. If the lock rotates, the engine should start.
No special key, no computer chip. The PASSLOCK is designed not to start the engine ONLY if he ignition lock is forced from the housing.
Look for another problem for not starting.
