1998 Buick Century Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy near the Oxnard Auto Center who had a 1998 Buick Century sitting in his parking spot with the SECURITY light glowing steady on the dash. Car would crank all day long but never fire.
He told me he'd already waited the ten minutes. Twice. That's the PASS-Key II relearn trick that floats around every GM forum, where you leave the key in RUN for ten minutes and the Theft Deterrent Module resets. Sometimes it works. His didn't.
I drove out that evening. Checked the resistor pellet in his key blade first. Pellet looked fine physically, but when I measured it, the resistance was drifting. Intermittent contact inside the pellet itself. The ignition lock cylinder contacts were also worn down, which didn't help. The module was reading the wrong resistance value and killing the fuel injectors every time.
Cut him a new key with the correct resistance pellet matched to his car, cleaned up the cylinder contacts, and confirmed the SECURITY light cycled off properly during start. Then I handed him the ABO0204T remote, FCC ID and all, programmed the four buttons, and tested lock, unlock, trunk, and panic from about forty feet out.
He said he figured a car this age wasn't worth the trip to the dealer. Honestly, that's half my calls. Older GMs where the fix is simple but the dealer wait and price aren't.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
