Pass lock,ignition switch replacement
My 06 is doing the whole sometimes won't start and flashes the padlock for 10mins crap so I have read up and figured out it needs a pass lock. I went to the dealer ship and got a new ignition switch and all 85.00$ I read some where u can just change the plastic part out( I assume is the passlock part)? Or do I need to change the whole ignition?
I pulled it apart and looked at it theres a tamper proof bolt on the top and other little bolts but I have idea how you get to them with out pulling the steering wheel and what not? I have googled and searched and can't find anywhere how to replace it. Ay help would be awesome .
Thanks

I replaced mine at 28,000 miles .in 2011.
Take your Hummer H3 , drive it to the dealer , (wait the 10 minutes until the passlock is reset by itself) in case in doesn't start, Buy an ignition switch , just the plastic cylinder , but they might sell you the whole thing , the metal ignition switch housing too.
Or Have it replace yourself and You MUST tow it to the dealer for passcode reset - if you have AAA. will be free . If not let the dealer replace it.
Passcode reset runs about 80 dollars. or 1/2 hour labor.

I have a genesis scan tool so I can do it my self but once again it still doesn't tell me how to exchange it says do it at the dealer ship that's not any help on actually
Changing the part out ... That wOuld be like "how to change your oil" step 1 drain oil and refill ... Doesn't help much

I get understand what you are saying. WOW, you have a Genisys. That's a pretty nice tool you have there!
I know it is in the H3/H3T repair manual. It is an invaluable tool. Maybe someone with an electronic copy can help.
