Question
i have a 2003 chev silverado, small V8, auto trans
no power windows or doors or seats, i had the factory
am/fm radio removed and a made to fit clarion am/fm/cd
radio installed. once before i had the radio it wouldn't
start and i waited then it started, then about 2 months later it did it again with my wife, she waited and it finally started, in the past week or so the anti theft light
comes on for no reason while i am driving, sometimes not at all, then it will stay on until i turn it off.
 it is cranking and running fine but it has me wondering when is it going to lay down with me.
 can i just turn this thing off or what are my options?
thank you for any info.

Answer
Hey ,
    I feel your pain. Really I do!
I get this inquiry at least 4 times a day,
and of course I am ONLY THE MESSENGER here
so please blame the engineers at GM.

It is a flawed and irritating system yes.
A permanant bypass is suggested.
And yes, as long as you can get the car started,
you can then program the module,
and bypass the passlock, but not before.
Since yours is still operating, I'd do it quickly.

The IB-IM-PLJX Bypass kit is going to be
needed to get around this safely. (www.PASSLOCK2.com)
It matches the resistance level in the key switch
and allows for the fuel rail to engage with any key
you choose to use.

I wish there was an easy way to magically get it to
work without it, but this is what we have available
short of paying GM a bunch of cash to reset
a system that will likely need it again, and again.

I'd bypass it and go from there with an after market
alarm to pick up the slack. Then no GM passlock issues to
worry bout down the line.

I hope this helped some.
