1998 Pontiac Sunfire MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy on the Westside neighborhood in Ventura. His 1998 Sunfire would not start. Key turned, dash lit up, but the starter would not crank. The SECURITY light just sat there, glowing steady.
He had already been through it. Called the dealer first. They wanted him to tow it in, leave it for a day or two, and pay for a new ignition lock cylinder plus labor. He called two other locksmiths. One said they do not touch older GMs. The other quoted something low on the phone, then admitted they were not sure about the VATS system once he described the problem.
I showed up with a set of VATS-rated B102 blanks covering all 15 resistance values. His original key's pellet was worn down on one side from years of pocket carry. The lock cylinder was reading a resistance that did not match what the Body Control Module expected, so it killed the starter circuit and triggered the ten-minute lockout timer. Every time he tried again, the timer restarted.
Cut him a fresh B102 with the correct pellet resistance, let the BCM cycle through its lockout reset, and the Sunfire fired right up. The whole job took about 25 minutes, most of that just waiting on the security relearn timer.
He said he had been sitting in that car for over an hour trying to get it going before he called. Could have been done before lunch if he had called first. Fraction of what the dealer quoted him, no tow, no waiting days for a shop bay.
