hey , your video helped me out a lot luckily. my fuse was good I checked the pcm\crank fuse.but didn't to check the abs\pcm fuse bam that was my problem so whoever reads the comments there you go.
I have a chevy malibu 2002 and my car was starting and then would die after 2 seconds.. all my interior lights were flashing.. after a week of bs with an ignition recall which they only modified the key.. bs dont get it done doesnt help anything lol.. so i seen your video and was looking for the bcm fuse.. turns out it was the pcm fuse under my hood.. I pulled the fuse waited 10 secs put it back in and the car started.. So thanks so much for the video and I hope this helps anyone thats having the theft anti lockout bs i was having.. thanks so much for this video
Thank you Very Much.... I check the BCM fuse and it was burnt. I replace the fuse and it started right up. My car was down for a week and I couldn't afford to get it looked at.
I haven't tried the method you recorded yet but I still want to give you an early thank you! This alone gives me hope; when you go to your mechanic and they start talking about putting $1300 into a 12 yr old car, you're often left at a crossroad. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this information with hopes of helping others, you're very kind. 😊
reading comments, plainandsimple left this comment: let me try one more thing. CRC QD contact cleaner in the ignition lock cylinder and on the ecm connections ( I think it was the lock cylinder )
Hi, thanks so much for this video! I'm having the same trouble which is frustrating, especially since I know next to nothing about cars, and could you tell me where I can purchase the clip you've put on the bcm? Is it a bcm fuse? Or better yet, I'd appreciate a link to an online shop. Thanks so much!
for people having their battery die. you are more than likely going to have a leeching component. you have to check all your fuses for voltage with a multimeter while the car is off, after 10 min. and track down where the bad connection is.
on mine if you have the doors ōpen/ lights on or trunk open. the car will not start you have to remove battery ground and close the door then start. for a while it stop sing it but my key fob and some light shut off but I had a car that started every time. I disconnected the battery again and I'm in square 1
I had my Chevy Silverado keys and Monte Carlo keys on the same key ring and both vehicles we’re having security problems- separated them and things are back to normal
Put it in Neutral and let it blink for 20 or 30 minutes and when it stop blinking,turn the key back in park,then turn the key over and it will work in all the cars that have a SECURITY PROBLEMS.
Mine won’t start, something is wrong with the security system. The security light comes on , it stops and won’t go. I put a new battery in it. My husband passed on I like to drive itt , but it won’t go, you got any suggestions what is wrong. I know I got a recall on it last week, but it won’t drive. Thank you
Had the same issue when I have my 2003. And the 3400 engine blew a gasket caused the motor to blow. Nice cars but people aren't aware of thr potential problems. Dann gm !!!
I have a 00 impala same thing is happeninq. I remove the same fuse but nthin I do the relearn 3 time and no luck Im about to replace bcm and relearn. what do u think?
you sometimes have to keep the key in the start button then remove and insert the fuse up to 5 or 6 more times while maintaining the key in the start position, sounds crude but it does work for me.
i made a harness with the ends of a fuse on the end a 10 amp fuse in the middle and a toggle switch at the end. now if it happens i just toggle it and it works fine. someone said it may be something with the ignition cylinder housing. could this be true?
I see you're actually commenting back unlike most videos I've posted on... If you can help me that would be great!! I have a 2000 pontiac grand am gt that has a faulty start up. Sometimes it will start up great, other times it will flutter and die right out and sometimes it will run for a while and all of a sudden the gauges go haywire and everything dies.. Sometimes it won't even catch to fire up all the way. I'm waiting on a ignition switch and crank shaft position sensor... apparently the fuel pressure is okay and the fuel filter is clean. It doesn't have a specific time when it acts up. It can be any rpm, temp, or outside temp. :( We are stumped... any suggestions what to do?
it doesn't sound like it has to do with the passlock, I've done research and nowhere has anybody said that the car dies after it's started up, my main problem besides starting is failure of the gauges, but at no time has the car ever stalled after the initial start, do you lose all power after the car conks out? maybe the battery connection.
RK M yep. Loses everything. The instrument panel goes haywire (all lights come on and flash for a second, the gauges go up and down, I'm not sure about the interior lights or locks and windows-- haven't actually checked that part) power steering goes out. It has no noticeable reason or time it goes out. It's sometimes at a complete stop, it's happened while driving 45 mph or so, it's happened while taking off from a stop... We just recently pulled all fuel related fuses from under the hood and put them back, it started up perfectly about 8-10 times after that. It sat for a few minutes, then went right back to not starting/stalling right after start up. :( Everyone says the battery and all battery related things are clean and functional.
Just wanted to let anyone looking know, my 04 cadillac cts 3.6 had a security lock up. I did the relearn (leave the key in the on position for 10 minutes). That worked so I drove it to the parts store, had it scanned, and then it locked up again. This time, no matter what I did, it would not do the relearn again. I was about to take a $1600 hit from cadillac so I said; let me try one more thing. CRC QD contact cleaner in the ignition lock cylinder and on the ecm connections ( I think it was the lock cylinder ) fired right up. Moral of the story; anyone with a 96up gm should have a can of contact cleaner in the trunk.
Thanks I will give it a try and hopefully it works, this method wasn't working on Hot days, I got the idea to spray some computer duster holding the can upside down and it worked leading me to believe it was making the contacts contract and connect. thumbs up
you could leave the fuse in and enjoy the radio and panel instruments but you will have trouble starting the next time. If i leave the fuse in overnight the battery will die too. If you take the fuse out you will find that it starts everytime.
Idelias Colon that has never worked, if I leave the BCM fuse in overnight the stereo in interior lights will turn on intermittently and my battery will die. Try holding the key in the start position and plugging/unplugging the fuse until the car starts
RK M please explain what I do...I'm having ths problem however first I could turn the key it just wouldn't start. Checked, cleaned battery over 2nd period...then boom started. Grandpa said to take key out N try again to make sure...well now it won't turn from the off position. Please help me. Via reply or email livingshea92@gmail.com
hey Mike, I turned it off. When I get it to start I take the fuse out. The oddest thing I've found is that this method (placing and pulling fuse) doesn't work when it is a hot day....?? (unless I've taken out the fuse which works indefinitely, I wired the A/C to a toggle when I need it) ( Hoot day = 90 degrees and above......) I got the idea to spray some Electronic Duster in the Keyhole and low and behold it started with fuse method. Go figure, I guess the blast of cold air caused the electronic contacts to contract and connect
I just read plainandsimple's comment below and I'm going to try it. I used the air cleaner and my theory was it contracted the contacts enough to connect. here's the comment: "let me try one more thing. CRC QD contact cleaner in the ignition lock cylinder and on the ecm connections ( I think it was the lock cylinder )"
Just bypass it permanently by soldering a proper ohm range resistor in the wiring going to the ignition switch. Then you wont have to do this shit fix that disables 90% of all your vehicles electronics.
Hi Cirux 321 Do you have any more detail on how to do this?.....I have a 2002 Trailblazer LTZ, Security System appears to be draining the battery, so we are simply not locking the car. I would love just to disable the security and "dumb the car" down so we can just lock and unlock old school!! I've been searching everywhere for a fix....
Just curious, did you find a fix for this? Mine just went from gauges not working to not being able to start. I got a new bcm installed about a month ago.
Hi I removed a fuse under the hood it's a big green and it says left I/P for instrument panel and I haven't had to remove/reseat the fuse before starting, I've researched and the testimonies all say they've had 800 to 1200 dollars worth of work on it for it just to start happening again.
RK M That stopped working too, If I leave my BCM fuse inserted my battery goes dead because the radio will turn on in the middle of the night for an unknown period of time......????
This happens to mine from time to time. What I do is leave the key in the ON position for ten minutes and then start the car. It resets something or whatever. Make sure that you're properly grounded out on the battery(good connection) and if I remember right, the BCM as well.
Didn't work on my 2002 Monte Carlo SS no matter how many times i unplugged it and plugged it back in. I replaced the BCM and done the relearn process. 20 min. , 30 min. and 40 min. and 50 min. I even done the one that tells you to 1 time for 10 min. until the security light goes off and then try to crank it. STILL NOTHING!!! When i turn the key on everything is working, but when i try to crank it.... I GET NOTHING!!! I don't know what else to try, besides kicking it. Oh, I've also checked all the fuses under the hood and on both sides of the dash. All are good. I'm going to try bypassing the key switch next i guess. If you know of anything else i can try, let me know.
After many attempts ( replace key cylinder, replace ICM, bypass key cylinder with resistor)to fix this issue on my 2001 Impala...I tracked it to the BCM...pulling fuse is not the solution...replacing the BCM solved my problem. What I noticed was gauges would either not work or tach needle would bounce...which i thought was idol control issue...it takes time to trace this as it gives you many false indicators. Shame on GM...
Just disconnect the fucking battery! Pull off the (+) (RED) wire because the computer is grounded to the car body. Touch the red wire to the (-) termanel to discharge any stored electric in the computer. Wait 20 min them re connect the battery. Start the car. Works every time. Fucking ripoff mechanics want all your money.
Put it in Neutral and let it blink for 20 or 30 minutes and when it stop blinking,turn the key back in park,then turn the key over and it will work in all the cars that have a SECURITY PROBLEMS.

My 02 Chevy Venture does the same thing I need to check this out I'll let yall know if it works
How do I know if mine is working security light comes on for a couple seconds before I start my car .
Nice hopefully this works with 02 impala
My best friend has 2003 Chevy Impala and your video help but she is having a lot of wiring problems. Can you help Us?
i got a 2003 impala security light and all dash and head light keep blinking and clicking noise wth is going on faulty alarm?
Which fuse is that? What is it for? Im away from my vehicle right now
My impala 2003 it's start doing this last night what can I do PLEASE HELP ME!
it works it works for mine
Put it in Neutral and let it blink for 20 or 30 minutes and when it stop blinking,turn the key back in park,then turn the key over and it will work in all the cars that have a SECURITY PROBLEMS.
Or leave the key in the on position for 10 min and it will stop blinking and it should turn on

what is that piece called in professional Terms
I have a 00 impala same thing is happeninq. I remove the same fuse but nthin
I do the relearn 3 time and no luck

what do u think?

sounds like a great idea, if I did that and forget to toggle the fuse off my battery will die.
it wont die- it basically disconnects the BCM from the battery
i can't turn the key in my 2002 chevy silvered
I got a 2003 Monte Carlo and I wish I never bought it
Same here, GM can go fuck themselves. I had my whole thing changed out and it does not work.
Where can I find the key?
