Hey guys!!
Long time i havn't been on here lol
I'm trying to install a remote car starter and i need a relay to bypass the Passlock II....
Do you know where i can get one cheap???

Actually you need a few resistors.
Find the passlock harness (I think the two wire colors are yellow and black?)
Turn the car on and find the resistance between the two wires, turn the car off and put that much resistance between them using resistors.
It has been a while since I've done it. For more specific info, google it.

usually the yellow and black wires are very very small and in a black or yellow tube
i have seen cheap bypass module at sears or walmart or meyers

1. Locate the PK2 wires. They're tiny 22 gauge wires
that run with the bigger 16gauge wires that run the ignition, start, and accessory wires. There will be 3 of them usually yellow(resistance), black or orange black(ground reference wire), and white. The white one you will not use.
2. If the car will start at this time what you'll do is meter the resistance value. To do this you cut the yellow wire in 2 and put one lead from the meter on the end that goes to the igntion switch and the other end to the black or orange/black wire (do not cut the black wire). Put the car in reverse (without trying to start it) Once you do that crank the key like you are trying to start it. You'll notice that the meter will be changing values at this time. Once it settles down, you'll see the value needed.
3. Get resistor(s) that come as close as possible to the value you had gotten. If it's something like 1495ohms but you can only get 1490 or 1500, get the slightly higher number. Install your resistor(s) by attaching one end to the OTHER end of the yellow wire that goes towards the car's dash and the other end of the resistor(s) to the black reference wire. Once you do that, try and start it. If it doesn't work, try running a new ground wire to the black or black/orange wire. There has been a few cases where that wire was the culpret but it's far and few between.
3a. If you couldn't get close to the resistor value needed or if the car still won't start do this. Turn the key to make the ignition come on, don't crank it. Leave it like that for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, do it again. If the security lights flashes, turn it off and then start it. If it still doesn't flash, turn it off and then back on for yet another 10 minutes.

Have fun.
Remote starts are very easy IMO. Just takes time and patience.
