Need help asap. Passlock and check engine light are on

[Ghostbuster]

Just went to start it up and nothing. Passlock light comes on first then check engine light. Won't even try to start.

I have a viper remote start and it won't even work.

Also if I hit the lock button on the door with it open it locks and then unlocks.

Probably either the passlock shorted/wore out or the ignition switch. The check engine light should go away as soon as you can start the engine. Wait about 10 minutes and see if it starts. If so, you know it's the passlock.

Sounds like passlock.
That reminds me that I need to disable mine soon. Probably about due to start messing up.

Unplugged the battery for 5 minutes and it started right up...

So what do I do to keep this from happening again? Do the PCM of NC deal?

If you're ever up my way, I can disable it for you in the pcm.

I've also read of a way where you pull the steering column apart and wire in some resistor that's supposed to keep it from happening.
