Looking to likely fix the dreaded PassLock problem. Every once in a while my 2002 Olds Alero (w/ 97k miles) took several attempts to start as if the engine was not getting fuel. Then one day leaving Cosco the car just died en route. Although I'm a humble garage mechanic with experience rebulding vehicle and often tackle maintenance on my own vehicles I took this into my favorite local garage. They replaced the fuel pump claiming it had died, which is what I suspected and why I took it in for I didn't want to have to drop the fuel tank full of gas to replace the pump. However, gradually, and with more frequency since the pump repair the car had trouble starting, just turning over and nothing, but always started after a while (sometimes up to a hour of trying.) As you read this you too have likely read about the PassLock issue and suspect it's a possible cause as did I. I'm here to tell you that after replacing the Ignition Switch it fixed the problem and the car even idles a bit better (likely cause of the new fuel pump.) Bottom line the switch, in my opinion, would be the best choice to fix first if you suspect the PassLock non-starting issue. For $100 bucks it's the cheapest and simplest of the repairs. You can do it yourself but it will take time and is a bit of a pain. Search YouTube for a ignition switch repair video (for an Olds Alero) someone uploaded that outlines the repair step-by-step. Cheers, hope this helps someone.

I paired this with an ACDelco D1493F Ignition lock and cylinder replacement. I hope to get rid of my Pontiac Grand AM security light problem with this! This part looks and feels solid. When the lock, cylinder and this assembly are full assembled (in my hands and not yet in the vehicle) it feels solid and sounds like all the electrical switching is performing well. Looks and feels like a quality built part. This ACDelco D1432D is a GM#22670487 (per the label on the ACDelco box) Warning - There are no instructions in the box so thus know what you are doing or look elsewhere for instructions.

This is the least expensive, correct solution to the intermittant 'security light' problem if your GM car take that ten minutes to restart.
