Question
QUESTION: my car was broken into last week, and theives took my fob  now l can't start my car, pls help, don;t know what to do   ty jan

ANSWER: They likey messed up the ignition by
trying something OTHER than the ignition key to start it.
This shuts down the original VATS/PASSLOCK system.

This is a problem GM would need to address in they're
service dept. Once reset, there is a module available
to bypass it forever.

I believe it would work on this vehicle as well.

This Passlock Bypass Module is designed to momentarilly
allow the engine to remote start by sending a proper
coded pulse to open the fuel rail passlock injector
cut off circuit.

The output from an alarm/remote starter
would then shut down the pulse, once it has detected
the engine has engaged, and preserve the integrity
of the passlock system.

That is it's designed purpose.

However, in your case, this input wire on the PLJX module,
instead of going to a momentary ground pulse from
an alarm/remote starter,
would go to a constant chassis ground, through
the bypass module, grounding out the PASSLOCK.
The PASSLOCK would then always be bypassed as long
as that wire is chassis grounded.

I can not speak about a damaged passlock system,
like if a thief has destroyed it, because I do not
get into this part of GM'S security application.
But as a happy coincidence to installing
after market remote starters, this does work on bypassing
passlock in most all GM vehicles we've run into,
including your year GM vehicle as well.

Also, this is a self learning, resistor sensing
and adjusting module. Once the VATS wires have been tapped,
you would press the program button to learn,
and it does. The car should then allow start
with any hardware store key.

It should on yours as well if the system
is still intact.

That's what works on 96 + Cavaliers.

QUESTION: No, they did not try to take my car, l caught them through my window at tje house, and went immediately outside after them, all they were doing was ransacking my car, but did take the fob, antway, my husband tried the bypass module, and it seems that prior owner has already done this, and the wires are not the proper colors, no yellow just all balack, very frustrating  ty jan

Answer
The car's engine MUST start before the bypass module
can be programmed.

If it's been breeched. You will need to talk to GM about this.
I just do bypasses for working systems to affect remote starting.
The car HAS to be running already to do it.

Sorry. Says that on my site for bypassing.
Where did you get the module you have?
That should have been very clear before you bought it.
