I remember that when I was up there your Keyless remote was some what dying or something. Maybe its triggering the Alarm to activate and thats why it wont start. Just a thought.

Clean the pellet on the key with alcohol. Not the good stuff. Save that for drinking.

lol That's great.

I have the same problem every once in a while. Chances are its the pellet on the key. Clean the contacts like Jeff said, and also clean the contacts inside the cylinder with a small swab and alcohol...again, not the good stuff

Another thing, when mine did it, clening the pellet didn't work. I sprayed the key cylinder with AutoZone carb cleaner and that did fix it. That is good stuff. It dries without leaving a film like some do. That sounds like a 409 commercial.

There's two wires that run from the ignition keylock that broke on mine. It connects the pellet in the PassKey. Bad design, every time you turn the key the wires move eventually snapping. They even wore a small grove in the keylock from moving back and forth over the years. I had to rip the steering wheel, horn, turn signal, etc etc out to get at it. If all else fails, you might want to look at those wires. I went through the whole routine, cleaning the key, even bought a new key, yada yada.

Or

You can disable the passkey by installing a resistor at the bottom of the steering column where the PassKey system connects to the column. You just have to get the proper resistance off your key and match it.

How to bypass from Rob's (Shoebox) site.

If you get a "mail order tune" isnt there and option to bypass that system???

Yes, you can "turn off" the need for the signal from the VATS to enable fuel for the engine to run, but you still have to physically bypass the Theft Deterrent Relay (TDR) to allow the starter to engage. If you currently have a Security light on, it won't make it go off.
