How do you reset the Pass lock System on a 2002 Monte Carlo SS and could this cause the car to not start?

You cannot reset it... The computer checks for the current resistance every time you start the car... in other words... it resets itself everytime you turn the key on. If it still won't start the next time, its because it still isn't reading the correct resistance. The only difference between the Passlock system and the older PassKey system is that the resistor is built into the ignition switch instead of the key. This way, any key that will turn the ignition will start the car (because turning to the on position lines up the resistor in the switch) but the car still cannot be hotwired. If one of the wires sending the resistance reading to the computer is pinched, severed or disconnected... or if the resistor in the ignition switch is worn, the computer cannot read the correct resistance and disable the starter and fuel injectors for 3-5 minutes. The resistor may just be dirty... buy "brake and electric motor cleaner" from NAPA and spray it in the keyhole. If this doesn't work check the two small wires going to the switch in the steering column or you may need a new ignition switch. If the ignition switch is replaced, the cars computer will have to be set to the new resistance. Look in your owner's manual. I remember something about the radio and having some computer features that make you have a security code to get your car to start up again. I had that problem and GM says to place in park, shut off the ignition and get out of car, locking it as to depart then unlock and get in, insert key, turn to ACC and turn the lights on and off three times then turn ignition off and on to start the engine . The Security light was flashing in the message center the week before it would not start.

Where is the cabin filter on a 2006 Monte Carlo?

I have recently changed the cabin filter in my 2006 Monte Carlo LTZ and it was pretty easy.Its located under the wiper blade on passenger side. You have to remove half way the black rubber hood seal to get to the clips of the cover of the filter housing.I would think, its better to change it in the summer months where all that plastic is warm & perhaps somewhat softer so it doesn't crack on you.GOOD LUCK & it takes about 20 min. to do this.

Where is the low pressure valve on a 2001 Monte Carlo?

On a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the low pressure service port for the air conditioning system is located on the larger diameter aluminum line, typically near the firewall on the passenger side of the engine bay. It is usually covered by a plastic cap that can be removed for servicing. To ensure proper identification, you can check for a blue or black cap, indicating it's the low pressure side. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific details and precautions when servicing the AC system.

How do you change the heater core in a 1988 Monte Carlo SS?

Heater core on G-Body cars is removed from under the hood. You remove the rubber weather strip, put wipers in the vertical position, gently remove the windshield trim, remove the blower motor, remove the solenoid for a/c, remove the screws from the heater and a/c housing cover, gently remove the cover, remove the a/c core, unbolt the ground at the top of the heater core, remove bottom clamps and change. You reverse the procedure for installation.

I have read online over and over mindless postings about how you have to remove your car seat, remove the core from inside the car, etc. This is a G-Body people and all G-Body cores are removed from under the hood. Took me four hours total.

How do you tell if it's the pump or the hose leaking power steering in a Chevy Monte Carlo?

Turn your vehicle off and then wipe the excess fluid from the power steering pump and line. Survey the power steering pump to see if their are any holes or dings. It may be hard to see so try using your hand to feel around. You may have to wait for engine to cool. If you did not find any leeks then top off the power steering fluid. Watch the power steering line while having a partner or friend turn the engine on and turn the steering wheel fully in one direction and the same in the opposite direction. Watch the power steering line to see how far up it is leaking. If you can not see where it is leaking because of too much fluid leaking, then re-wipe and try again. If you still can't tell then take the line off and make sure the hole on the pump where the bolt goes in is not damaged. Then make sure the bolt itself is not damaged.

If the hole or pump is damaged then you need a new pump and if the line or bolt is damaged you need a new line.

Why does a 2001 Monte Carlo ss dash lights work only some of the time?

AnswertHE DIMMER PART OF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WILL HAVE MORE CURRENT IF THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED LOW. THE SAME VOLTAGE AND MORE RESISTANCE EQUALS HIGHER CURRENT, SO HAVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS SET BRIGHT IS BETTER FOR THE SWITCH.

I had the same problem, my mechanic said the Body Control Module was bad, but he didn't had the computer to program the new module.

In total I paid $400. Diagnosis problem, replacement and program new body control module. And guess what? It didn't fix the problem and they would not refund my money so I called the B.B.B. and nicely told the shop they had 5 days to return my money is a repair that they said would fix the problem but did nothing.

Since the Dealer had to program the new body control module and after the lights still did not work I asked they what would cause the problem. They said in most cases the headlight switch was the cause. "Even if I never use it" (light sentinel system).

They told me that the dimmer part of the switch goes bad. So I went home, took the Instrument Panel off, removed the headlight switch and it was melted. $125 later the new switch was bought and installed, it took about1 1/2 hours and was well worth the time I spent.

How Do you replace the heater core on 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo LS?

Replacing a heater core is one of the most challenging repairs you can do. Removing and replacing the core is easy. Getting to it, is the hard part. This is why this repair is so very expensive. Labor costs are tremendous. I cannot tell you exactly how to get to the core. All I can tell you is that you must remove enough of the under dash components to gain access. Someone who has done this before on this year and model will know how. Sometimes it is just trial and error. Just be careful, do not break anything and remember exactly how everything fits. Take pictures with a digital camera during each step as this may help you reassemble each part.
