Resistor method for bypassing Passlock II

So, after reading numerous posts on here, I havn't seen one instance where somebody used the resistor method to bypass the passlock II on older GM vehicles that dont need a module for door locks. For instance, a 2000 Chevy Silverado. Very straight forward, easy vehicle to install a remote starter in. I have never used a single module to bypass anything in these vehicles. Is anybody familiar with measuing the resistance of the passlock wires and using a resistor to bypass passlock II? Thats what I've used for about 10 years now and its been flawless if done properly! Just curious as to how many people actually use this method. Shaun, we are the same height, that is neat!

The method you describe permanetly bypasses passlock?

For me, buying the $7 bypass off ebay is much easier and faster- no need to wire in your own resistor-just "dial it in" on the variable pot- I look for clean and fast installs- This way I don't have to build the relay, find the right resistor, measure, solder etc- just hook it up and dial it in and be done- and still maintains factory security............Brcidd - Engineer That Does Remote Starter Installs on the side.

Self learning bypasses are quicker and more reliable than all. Just switched out a bypass with the dip switch settings as it recenlty started triggering a security light.

I dont use a relay for passlock II. I just measure resistance of the passlock, find the resistor, solder the resistor in and DONE! IN MY OPINION, this is the fastest way after trying all methods. I also think that adding a module is just another failure point that could go wrong down the road and I'm really not a fan of modules that have the dip switches to choose from. More power to ya if you can get em to work for ya! Shaun, we are the same height, that is neat!

I'm just wondering--- Do you tell the owner that you've disabled his theft deterrent?  I've done this on the chip in the key a few times- and I always tell them about it- because I have had several instances on my own car where the chip in the key is read wrong (no R/S installed) and I'd have to wait ten minutes for the security light to go off- and wipe down the resistor on the key and try again... So no more of that b/s- I bypassed it with the given resistor permanently- as you describe.....Never once have I ever of the theft deterrent keeping a car from being stolen-- it is always how the theft deterrent is messing up......again.Brcidd - Engineer That Does Remote Starter Installs on the side.

most people dont know they have a theft deterrent system...haha. But yes, I do tell them that it will be permanantly bypassed, and for another $50, they can have the module if they want...I havn't had a taker yet! Their factory security is still very much there that controls the panic and the factory alarm. Living in North Dakota is nice...one of the lowest crime rated states in the US. We rarely have a problem with people breaking into cars and driving off with them, so this bypass method works wonders for people trying to save some cash.

I've got an '01 Silverado. Where, what colors and how do I position a resistor to do this? Is there a detailed procedure in here somewhere that I haven't seen? I've never tried this. I've installed alrms with remote start on pre-resistor key cars. I like the idea of using the proper reistor to completely bypass the system full-time. Thanks
