On my 98 Suburban k1500, I had blower motor/resistor issues that I started working on about a week ago. Ran into complications of course and the battery was disconnected for the week. Now today I got everything tied up and it won’t even try to start. Battery was strong before disconnecting. When I turn the key gauges move but no dash lights come on. Under hood light and map lights work but are really dim—almost orange. I did try a jump for a bit to rule that out with no change. As I was searching a bit, Passlock anti theft came up but I wasn’t sure if this sounds right for that since I’m not getting a security light or having it turn over at all. Any thoughts??
To give as much as possible to work with, I did have the dash front trim off to check the back of the HVAC switches. Also, vehicle has a strange (and I assume intentional) anti theft system that came with it when I bought it used. It won’t start unless left turn signal is on. Any of you ever hear of this type? Also would this conflict with Passlock?
I’m not 100% sure if PL was on all 98 models or how to tell if I have it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I’m definitely a novice at electrical stuff.
