Okay, I posted before about my problem, and I'm passed that (I lost the thread, so I couldn't read the responses), but I'm having a new problem. I read in another thread, that the problem is with the Passlock bypass, but my question is what could possibly be wrong.

555U in a 2002-3 Grand Am GT, I know it needs that bypass. The day we installed the remote start, it worked fine. Then we started putting everything together, and now it goes through it's cycle of running and dying. If you stick the key in the ignition and use the button, the car will start, and you can take the key out. So I know the problem is with the bypass, I'm just not sure what, since it DID work before we started putting everything back together after the install. I'm really at a loss, because the customer is getting upset over this (which I completely understand) it was our first attempt at a remote start, as a test to see if this was something we wanted to dive into (which from this experience, it isn't).

Anyone have any ideas? I'm completely puzzled. Thanks for your type.

Problem is that you are using a key in the box type bypass when you should be using a resistance type. You are dealing with passlock NOT passkey.

I called the company, I'm using what they told me to use. The part number they said I had to use was a 555L, and that's been superceeded by 555U. So they sent me that.

No, 555U was superceded by 556U. 555R was superceded by 555L. They told you wrong and sent you the wrong bypass. The bypass you need is either the 555L or 555T.

I have having to multiple post, but I don't see an edit button. It's also a 2001, not a 2002. I had to run and check, since I wasn't sure about that.

It isn't a Grand Am. That was a typo on my part, I'm sorry about that. It's a Grand Prix GT. an 01.

Who ever the company is that is selling you this, FIRE THEM. The 555G is for passkey 3, not passlock which you are dealing with. I am telling you, get a 555L and that is what you need. Infact, Here is the install manual for the 555G. Stll think this is what you need?

Here is the manual for the 555L, This is what you need.

Edit, damn it now you say so. Then the 555G is the right one.

Also realize this, I am not selling you anything, I have no vested interest in this, I am just trying to help you out. Who do you trust someone providing you with all the info or a salesman.
