c renner hastily improvises proximity key -- posted image.
As you can see from this image - the car is running, not remotely started. It's an '07 Saturn VUE incidentally.
I actually have driven it this way from last Wednesday until today like that - stopped in the dealer to have them check out the sticking key cylinder and noisy wheel bearings. An hour or so later I've got a car with a dissasembled ignition switch/column shroud and a service manager who's telling me they don't have a replacement Passlock receiver(which needs to be replaced anytime the key cylinder is removed), and they also don't have any loaner vehicles available.
Now I'm kinda confused myself why I didn't just start yelling about how utterly inexcusable the service was, but I ended up looking at it and saying, "I bet if I remotely start it, and then turn the ignition switch on, it will be drivable." Sure enough it was, I got home allright and everyone lived happily ever after, except me if my air conditioner still smells funny after tomorrow when I pick this car up.

Those effing vauxhalls, they're always doing this. Broke my spare key in the trunk last year, what an inducement to make my solenoid pop work properly. Anyway, start on R/S then shove key back into steering lock etc etc I know the feeling.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
