cavalier passlock 1 question

Any help here would be great.  Car starts for about 5 sec and then dies security light blinks. I have the right bypass for it but i think the problem is the bulb test wire not sure if i have the right one from the black 6-pin connector? Any other trouble shooting ideas i can try?Factory security systems suck!

The bulb test wire is the thin blacl wire in th same harness as the two Red power wires if I remember correctly. I have never had a bypass kit work on a cavalier though so i use relays and a resistor. What year cavalier and what bypass modules are you working with? Here is a permanent bypass method that uses relay and resistor. If you want a tewmporary bypass method just email me and I will send one to you.

95 cavalier passlock 1     i bought a dei 555L bypass hooked it all up and the light stays solid when it starts and it seems to work but then it dies.Factory security systems suck!

Yeah your bypass module is the problem, unless of course you do not have it hooked up right. Like I said I have never had a bypass module that worked on a cavalier with Passlock I. Maybe just bad luck, maybe just the bypass modle I was using, but I only use relays and a trimpot now, for cavaliers.J Rilla

hey J Rilla   i'll try your method on bypassing with a relay, question on the Vehicle start wire side ( just run the wire from pin 85 to the vehicle start wire yellow right? and then RS start output connect to the same wire..  thanks for the help also i need to get the same resistor from testing the yellow passlock wire and the black passlock wire correct..   hope this works because i have put to many hours in this security system..Factory security systems suck!

Oh dont worry, as long as you have the right bulb test wire, and the right resistor it will work. Yes, you just need to run a wire from the starter to pin 85. If you installed a starter kill, or anti-grind relay, you need to put pin 85 on the starter side of the relay where the RS starter output is. J Rilla

Just another note about the bulb test wire on these cars. They are in the harness with the power wires in location "D" or "E". The letters are on the side of the harness. Also, the wire is small, but not always black. Sometimes it is green or brown.

thanks everybody for your inputs,  got the cavalier to start and stay running. One relay i had was bad so i tried another and it worked fine,  next i need to bypass a 2001 cavalier  passlock 2 and a pontiac sunfire passlock 2 also any more diagrams to bypass those two.. (J Rilla) thanks alotFactory security systems suck!
