I've noted my lights dim a little more during start than before, but nothing serious yet.
behind ignition its 197.00 for the part suggestions :mad: :sick:
The passlock has a defect (which GM denies). The anti-theft control inhibits you from starting your vehicle. You can bypass it if you're willing to wait 10-30 minutes to start your car...and it doesn't always work. I don't have a lot of money, nor do I make a lot. I am not willing to take my chances with this car any longer. I'd advise anyone having this problem to report it.
I have a 2004 malibu lt v6 closing in 95,000 miles...
The other day filled up with gas and while driving home, my fuel gage suddenly started dinging and showing low fuel readings... looked to make sure that I was not leaking fuel anywhere, no smell no leak... Since this was on Saturday, I waited for Mon to drive by my dealership...
After discussing this issue with the Service Mgr. I was told to make an appt to verify if it was the "sensor", or fuel pump or even both that going bad... car showed no signs of bad mpg still avg around 31 miles per gallon, I drive close to 90 miles daily round trip on our freeways around 70 plus miles per hour... was quoted around $400 for the sensor repair and close to $900 for fuel pump repair..The next day Tues on my start up the fuel gauge returned to full and remained there for 2 and half days.. Now i don't mind the fact if it where true that my tank was full of gas, but since I pay attention to my actual miles driven I knew that this could not be true.. once again stopped by the dealership to review this issue, and was told that "maybe the issue has resolved itself"... Well I just filled up on Friday morning with 370 miles driven,the gauge was reading just below half full, the car took just over 12 gallons so my mpg is still on track and the car is behaving beatullify..
My question is this after all this rambiling...can the sensor go bad and revive it self?? can the dealer do a check on this sensor and verily the condition of the same?? Is there a computer reflash that can reset this sensor???
Hoping that someone on ths forum can advise...thanks in advance for any response... :confuse: :confuse:
The sender is about $30 so the rest is labor, which is very high at a dealership.

I had a key cut for my 99 Sonoma local and it worked, has Passlock 2
The battery is only 1 year old, and the connections look fine. I already replaced the air filter and spark plugs as well. Do you think it's the starter? BCM?
I also have not replaced the fuel filter yet, and have had the car since it had 18,000 miles on it. Where is it located?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Somehow, then there was a check engine light on, but not this time. Also, today, the temp indicator was working after a few minutes of drive and the heat came on after about 6 miles of drive on the second trip.
I don't think that mechanics could find anything now. Any advise?
As far as heat goes if you have automatic HVAC it may not work with a malfunctioning sensor, just a guess.
Went to use my remote starter for the first time since last April or so (don't bother with it in summer) and it won't start.
Tried it with both key fobs. It's not the battery, cause everything else works fine, and there's no message on my DIC about that.
It's sending a signal because my parking lights flash, but the car won't start.
Any ideas? Thanks

Had a similar issue, Maxx4me with the steering. Had my column changed twice and just a month ago they lubricated something or another. I think thought that that clunking noise will be with us forever.
Appreciate it if you do!
The official report was " found that hood latch is causing concern with remote start".
They replaced the hood latch, and all seems to be well, so far.
