- 07 Colorado won't start, passlock alarm broke. Quick 9 sec. startup, without cutting a wire. Must watch. Might work for other GMC and Chevy years.

My truck just did this at the gas station and after stressing out for a couple hours I found this video and it worked!!!! thank you for posting this!
Thank you so much! This worked on my 2004 Chevy Colorado like a charm!! You saved me a bundle in towing, diagnostics, and repair costs. Thank you again!
I just went from stranded to driving thanks to you! Lifesaver
Omg you're a life saver. Went in to get groceries, truck was fine, came out and it cranked and cranked. Watched your video, freaking out, and it worked!! Same exact truck and year
This happened to me few times. I was about to change the starter. I thought the starter is out.
This video really help me out thank you very much!!!
Dude ive been dealing with this for 7 years on 2008 you just made me a happy chevy dude
I have an 05 Colorado, and this worked for me! I was stranded in my work parking lot for 15 minutes, brought up this video on my phone, and it worked like a charm! 👍👍👍
Thanks, Buck! My sister-in-law's 2012 GMC Canyon was doing this. Sometimes it started just fine; sometimes nothing. She had been trying to use the reset procedure in the owner's manual with little success. We gave this a try and it worked first thing. Much appreciated!
Your method works like a champ. Thank You so much for sharing.
Works every time on 2007 GMC Canyon. This video is a lifesaver!
Been fighting this for a few years now, just been waiting 20 mins for the computer to reset and always starts up no prob. I will try this next time it happens, appreciate it👍
Thanks man! This video really help me today! Going for dinner and was stress as f..
This work on my Colorado 2005!
Once again thanks!!!!
Joachim Ringblom mine is the same year, and is doing the same shit , I will try this when it does it, thanks in advance man
Whaaaaattttt you had me smiling in joy once it worked !!! My truck has left me at job sites , the gas station , ooooh man the countless stories of me waiting 20 min till it turned on
Thanks so much for this video, it worked on my 07 Colorado as well. Been looking for a fix for this issue for awhile now.
You’re the man brother, needed this!
I was ready to buy a new fuel pump but researched first, and found this video.. Very gald I did! Thank you for the tip! Worked perfectly!
A fuel pump lol
NICE. This happens to me about once a month. Doesn't matter if I use the fob or not, or even if I lock it or not. Stopped for gas this morning and it wouldn't start. While I was waiting the 20 minutes I found your video on my phone. Tried it immediately and it worked. Love my 2007 Colorado (119K miles) and have no problems except for this one freakin' annoying problem. ...until today. Thanks Buck.
It probably worked because you waited. Mine did this twice today and I've had to deal with this for two years. It turns over but doesn't start. If this happens I look at the flashing red lock on the dash for exactly 10 minutes with the key in the on position. After 10 mins the lock goes solid red for around 10 seconds. after the light goes away turn it off then try starting it. Ps if this doesn't work you have to start over. If it's cold ,raining or at night it likes to do this. I will try the method in this video hopefully it works
did it work?
Did it work?
It didn't work for me. My problem is slightly different. It turns over and doesn't start and a red light flashes for 10 minutes then stays solid red for 10 secs then I turn to off and restart. If it doesn't start I repeat the process. Ps if you unplug your battery the 10 minutes starts over lmfao
Sir, you have saved my life at this very moment! I drive Canyon GMC 2008
just tried this for a young friend with no money, worked perfect thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCHHH!!! I WAS STUCK IN THE RAIN AT THE PARK ALONE IN THE PURE DARK AND IT STARTED THE FIRST TIME!!
You are the man!! Thank you!! My company vehicle does this often and now it isn’t as bad thanks to you!!
I've had this happen three times on my 04 GMC Canyon in the last year and a half, no rhyme or reason as to why it does it. First two times, the 10 minute trick worked fine, the last time it wouldn't start, I tried the ten minute trick twice without prevail. So searched it on the ole TH-cam and found this video, worked like a charm, thank you!
Thanks, me too with Starting Problem, how is your Canyon doing now, *& starting issues…? I have 2007 CANYON:: no power Lock/ no,power Windows/Remote.. But, crank and no start rarely:: nothing shows on Shop Work ups.. interestingly PASSLOCK PROBLEM possible,,,
@@opera93 knock on wood, it hasn't happened in the last 2 years or so. But these trucks are notorious for electrical issues, only my driver's power door lock works with the remote or button on the door. The other 3 have to be unlocked manually. The dash lights flicker intermittently all the time, or just go completely off. The other issues I'm having is the evap code and misfire code on cylinder 2. Which I had the head redone at a machine shop on this motor and the last motor. GM should have had to replace the heads on these no mater the age or milage. And several people should have lost their jobs because of these trucks
Thanks man! This happens to my 2006 Chevy Colorado intermittently. Been sitting in my driveway the last 15 minutes trying to start my truck. Watched your video and it worked like a charm!
Works just like he said, now I wont be late for work. Thanks for posting this!
Wow. Saved me from having a bad day. Blessings brother. Thank you for the video.
Can't believe this works but I had the same problem on my 2009 Colorado, counted the beep, turned the key, and it fired right up. Had no clue what was wrong, googled it and found this video. Thanks a lot.
You are the man!!! Had to do the 10 minute wait forever. This is amazing!!!!
I've been doing the 10 minute thing for five years now. lol
Thanks!!!! Just tried on my 06 Colorado worked great.
You're a god amongst men thanks for saving my morning
My 2008 Colorado is doing the same thing. It left me stranded twice in 4 days because I didn't know this little trick. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this!!!
So does it work ?
No. It didn't work the last time I tried it. Doesn't matter now. The transmission just went out on it.
Bad luck ! But thanks anyway.
I ordered the factory electrical key codes from the dealer for $28 bucks and then had new keys cut. Works perfect again finally. i was informed the keys were shot and the security tumbler wasn't depressing correct setting off the lock command.
Brian, thanks for this comment! I'll be trying this soon since I'm experiencing the same issue with mine.
Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart. You are a real man of genius.
It worked I used to have to wait 15 mins to start it. Thank you for the video!
Thank you!
out of all the videos, yours doesn’t waste time and it fixes the issue.
It’s sad that they put videos at the top of the list that have nothing to do with what you’re looking for.
Great job thank you for posting this video.
It definitely fix my problem !
Just switch your ignition switch and it should be fixed.
I’m going to have to try it! Thanks for this. I have a 2006 Chevy Colorado and this happens mostly every other morning and sometimes go a whole month with no issue
Sandra Rafael I have the same issue I also have a 06 Colorado usually in the morning I have this problem too.
Happened to my 2006 colorado for the first time yesterday at the gas station. Next time it happens, I am definitely going to try this.
I have an 08 Colorado and this has been something I've dealt with too. This was the best and easiest video, I recommend it.
Thanks for sharing this. I have an 08 Colorado that has this issue. This was the easiest and best video I've seen.
2006 I-280 Isuzu Truck. That Passlock was intermittent driving my son crazy. Would not work with the 10 minute wait. I was going to try the ole blue-white wire cut but came across ole Buck. Tried this trick from Buck Wilkins and it worked first time. You do not need the chimes to work. My chimes are gone due to after-market radio install (that is another story). Turned ignition to ON and dash lit up as normal. After about 5 seconds, some of the lights went out. I waited another five seconds and tried to start the truck.....Bingo! I think ole Buck came through for a lot of folks. Thanks Buck!
Worked like a charm on our work truck. Which is a 2009 model. Thanks so much and I'm definitely subscribing to your channel.
I had a 2005 Colorado never had this problem but done with after accident. Got a 2009 GMC Canyon and at about 30,000 miles this problem started. Also I lost the remote control and refuse the dealer to rob me with expensive repairs. I wrote down your quick fix and hope it will work.
You're the Man!! Thanks for a great contribution to the colorado truck owners
No he's not it didn't work for me mine is a 2007
Wow genuine love for people you are a good human being thanks for sharing you just saved my work day! Thank you 🇺🇸
I have now written down this procedure on a 3x5 card to go in my glove compartment in case it happens again.
I used this simple procedure over 1 yr ago when it happened first time on my 2005 Chevy Colorado. I think it happened again 1 or 2 times during the next few weeks too. Then I didn't have any problems at all for over 1 yr until last Saturday. I knew what was happening but could not remember the procedure so I called AAA for a tow home. 20 min later, while waiting for the tow truck I tried again and it started - sheesh! Cancelled the tow and drove home.
WRITE THIS DOWN and put it in your glove box even if you're not having a problem. If your passlock system fails, it's going to happen when you least expect it. On one side of the 3x5 card I wrote "Suddenly won't crank -or- cranks but won't start". It's happened both ways to me. On the other side I wrote
----------
With door open and key removed:
- Insert key
- Count 6 quick dings
- Immediately turn key to "On"
- Count 5 slow dings & watch for dash light test to finish
some dash lights go off
- Immediately turn key to "Start"
* Should start right up
----------
Thanks, trying this *& the ten minute Wait:: my 2007 CANYON LS/no remote/ no power window:: !! How is your fix doing & still in workings ? Interestingly, my Shops cannot repeat “:crank/ nomstart “, though last “work,up “: gave me new Alternator (& new Battery? ( not work , once within a Week of repairs))….
It didn't work for me
Thank you! I’ve had this issues for years. Shops say everything is fine. This worked for me. Thank you!
Thanks so much. I tried several other reset trick’s I’ve used in the past to no avail. This one worked.
This video worked on my 09 Colorado at the gas station last week and got me home. Also Happened to me 4 years ago at home. Both times, put wd40 on my key several times and ran it in and out of keyhole several times. Lot of black stuff came out. Clean key. Stop applying wd40 after several efforts, just insert and clean routine. Repeat several times until black stuff quit coming out. No problems in a week. As U said 4 years without a problem, first time I had no start, no crank.
OMG, Merry Christmas SIR!!
Your solution worked on the 2008 Isuzu. Matter of fact, I toggled the remote a few times, locking and unlocking. It gave the telltale beep or double beep, but it never actually actuated the lock. Heck, I don’t even care about the remote locking. Your solution worked. I can now drive this truck! Thank you for caring enough to post.
Dude, thank you, this video just saved my life! Great trick
That's Crazy!!! I've had this issue on an 05, i'll have to try this next time. thanks
Just had to say thanks again this was the best video on this on going problem. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. This has been an ongoing issue for years. This should be a recall. Stay blessed.
I Totally agree with that,
Thanks, I have 2007 Canyon//no remote lock/ no remote lock/ no windows, been. A rare “” crank/ nom-start” for years,, nothing in Shop/ not reproducible.. How is your Truck (?), *& shmtoms *& fixes??
If you are ever in AZ...the beer is on me. Stuck in the school parking lot, looked at the video and away I went. Much thanks.
Dude, thank you! The Passlock system was driving me nuts.
Thank you so much, just happened to me at the gas station and I had no clue what was wrong. It worked flawlessly!
My exact situation right now
Thank you this worked for my 2004 Chevy Colorado. My truck doesn't do that fast ding, but only the slow ding. I did what you said. I let it slow ding for 5 blinks and turned it on. Also kept my door open. It worked and turned on! I find my Colorado does this passlock thing when I don't drive it for a while, so I'm gonna have to run the engine a couple times a week when I don't drive it.
Maybe that's the matter with my truck, haven't driven it much as I'm taking the car to work because it gets twice the milage! I got stuck at work about a week ago!
Just happened on my 2011 Colorado. Thank you very much for the vid and preventing me from being stranded at the grocery store. Lol
Hey great vid! Been doing something similar on my Hummer H3. I just wait 5 dings, no door open.. Works every time.
Worked on my 2006 GMC thanks! Been dealing with this for too long!
Thanks, how is your GMC STARTING? I have 2007 Canyon/no remote/no power Window:: years of Rare “”crank/ no starting””…..trying the 9:Second Reset!, no much luck in Mechanics, ……as no sign, & not repeatables……
You just saved me so much time and money! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for being nice enough to take the time to post this.
Just started my 07 Colorado with the occ. no starts. Tnks for sharing. Great video!
Oh my God. This works! The "proverbial problematic Passlock" in my 2009 Hummer H3 would leave me hanging until the 10 minute reset. Somehow this method bypasses something. Relieved! Thank you, your brilliant.
Yup, it worked in a pinch. Just looked up this video tried it and ZANNNG! The engine fired to life...thx!
Worked for my 2005 Chevy Colorado, thank you so much, your the man !
Nice man work perfect only complaint I would have a short in the video a little bit but honestly it doesn't matter it's great knowledge and I appreciate it
Got to work on time this morning because of this video! Thankyou!!!!
Does this work if you don't have remote key lock. I only have plain key.
This man is a god and saved my ass thank you so much for the info praise this man
It worked on my 08 just now! I was stranded in a Walmart parking lot browsing videos.
new owner to this truck and first time problem wow what a great fix thought it was the starter thank god i found this video thank you....... next time will wiggle my right arm put my foot out the door and turn my head and cough lol.....
It worked fine. 04 canyon with 187k it seems like I have accidentally performed this overide when it happened before. I could tell I did something to make it work but I couldn't recreate the solution til I saw this video. Thanks man.
Great info. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure I will need this someday.
Thanks for putting this video up it really works 👍
Best TH-cam I've ever watched. Only good thing about this gmc is the engine, and because of the engine, it won't die...
At least this hurdle won't be in the way anymore, again actually, 100k miles back had same issue had to pay to get it fixed, now I won't... Thanks again
WOW ! thank you man. the other day I spend hours trying to figure out until somehow the truck works.
Thank you... you are my savior... may God bless your souls Buck Wilkins
Thanks for making this video now I can get to work on time damn GM
You are a hero, sir.
OMG thanks bro I do have a bell that rings in mine so I just guessed the 5 sec thing didn't work first time but did 2nd
My truck is just starting to do this pretty often, this method worked the funny thing is my truck doesn't even have a alarm its also a 2007 lmao
Same
Same problem but mines an 06
It' work some time only, I did this process but only work 2 times I'm really mad of this chevy truck I put my truck for sell no more chevy or GMC truck
Thanks!.. it work on my 2008 colorado!.. door open, 5 slow dings.. turn key. .and started.
Perfect brother. You have no idea what part in El Salvador this just happen to me. Thanks a lot.
jeez, be safe out there man
I will thanks!
Wow, that actually worked! 🤣😂👍🏼 I have a 2005 Chevy Colorado with 190k miles on it. This issue just started for me this winter and I replaced all the spark plugs and it started happening again! Hopefully this is the easy fix ai needed....i had no clue about this built-in safety feature!
Thanks, how is your **Colorado, crank/nonstart doing now?… Interestingly, my 2007:CANYON //no remote;/no power lock or window : has been doing this ***rarely for several year’s ( maybe few more last couple years) :: no,SHOP SIGns , Or repeatable …. Thouhg finally figured out Ten Minutes ++ wait *& starts .. ALSO, ***Interestingly, my Canyon been shutting off fan speed 3 & 4 randomly:: SECKND TIME IN SHOP,: diagnosed to:” replace Fan”, I finally replaced FAN RESISTOR a few weeks ago, waiting on Fan motor Replacements………primarily, due to $800..00 charge for new Alternator, & Interstate Battery *& multiple Diagnostics( old INTERSTATE one.a year old ONLY)……….frustrating.
You sir just rescued me....this works on my 2008 Isuzu I-290....it's essentially a GMC Canyon or Chevy Colorado
Thanks for mentioning? & how is it working .?? *** I have 2007 GMC Canyon/LS/ no remotes/ no power window:: rare crank/ non start for five years: trying NINE SECOND RESET, this first, NOTHING Shows in shop…..ETC.
Man that helped me out---- just about trashed this truck. But it started up thanks again man
Thanks it worked.. I was starting to think it was my starter!!!
MY GUY!!!! This worked!!! You saved my pockets!!! I love you
Thankyou my brother i was just stuck and i did your method god bless you its cold out here... .. on my way its just happen 9:12pm
Thanks I have the 06 Colorado and have the same issue hopefully this will work.
thanks buck i been having this problem for a while and sometimes have to wait up to 20 minutes for it to start but now just 9 seconds. thanks for the help
Just had the say prob right now was heading to work when I tried to start my 2005 gmc canyon ut will crank but no fire thought it was my fuel pump then i watch this video when back out to my truck dud what u said and it started wow! Thnks bro
Thanks for sharing !! This just worked for me on one of my work trucks 🙏🏼
This didn't work for my '04 Colorado.
This issue crops up when it's cool and damp out.
I wonder if the issue stems from the aftermarket chimes module/harness that was installed when I had the aftermarket radio put in. But that was 9 years ago. Hmmmm....
Do those module/harness combos wear out?
I guess I just have to wait the 10 minutes.
THANKS FOR YOUR ADVISE,... IT JUST WORKED ON MY WIFE'S 08 CANYON
Your method works like a champ. Thank You for sharing this.
We do not have an original key to the truck any longer. It starts most of the time but occasionally does what everyone else's does. How come it turns on at all with the plain key?
thumbs up for posting. was looking at a low mile 2007 Z71 Colorado but thinking that I will pass on it. was going to get it for deep off road four wheeling but don't trust this vehicle now and don't want to be left stranded
2005 Colorado with same problem, many times I got the no start, I finally got mad and just stopped using the remote and resorted to using the key to lock/unlock it, it was a pain at first to use the key every time but I eventually got used to it and its no big deal now, and I realize that my alarm is not activated when I don't use the remote but at least it starts now every time and has been fine for 7 years now, I did forget once and used my remote to lock it and sure enough I got the no start again, so I removed the remote from my key chain
Thank you so much for the tip!!! This worked for my 2008 chevy colorado!!!
It worked with my 2011 Chevy Colorado. Thanks
6-19-24 my chime feature doesn't work, so I'm going to try using this method by counting (first set of dings) then turning ignition on and waiting for the lights to go out (second set of dings)🤞. Passlock hit me twice this morning, leaving for work, then at the gas station. Thanx in advance for the video/info, excellent job sir...👍👍
Thanks guy! Works on my 2007 Hummer!!!! Nice job
