Hello Narisol,
Excerpt from the 2003 Owners Manual.
Passlock
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock theft-deterrent
system. Passlock is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used or the ignition lock cylinder
is tampered with, the fuel system is disabled and the vehicle
will not start. During normal operation, he SECURITY light
will turn off approximately five seconds after the key is turned to
RUN. If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait about 10 minutes until the light stops flashing before trying
to restart the engine. Remember to release the key from START as
soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start after
three tries, the vehicle needs service. If the engine is running and the
SECURITY light comes on, you will be able to restart the engine
if you turn the engine off. However, your Passlock system is not
working properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this time. You may also want to
check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-85.
See your dealer for service. In an emergency, call the M
Roadside Assistance Center. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 7-5.
Excerpt from the 2003 Owners Manual.
Testing the Alarm The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1.
From inside the vehicle, Iower the driver's window and open
the driver's door.
2.
Activate the system by locking the doors with the power door
lock switch while the door is open, or with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3.
Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for the SECURITY light to go out.
4.
Then reach in through the window, unlock the door with the manual
door lock and open the door. This should set off the alarm. When
the alarm is set the power door unlock switch is not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the headlamps flash, check to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-85.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not flash, the
vehicle should be serviced by your dealer.
This may be the dreaded antitheft security system. Look for a picture on the dash when this happens that says SECURITY or a picture of a car with a lock through it. This a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other.
The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, or not seen at all. When the communication breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. (like it thinks it's being hot wired) The car shuts down because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. It will either turn off the starter, or the fuel injectors. The vehicle may run for 2-3 seconds before shutting down. This link explains it pretty well.

Give this a try.
1. Turn on the ignition, with the engine OFF. 2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start). look at 'security light', after approximately 10 minutes it should shut off 4. Turn off the ignition, and wait 5 seconds. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes/ The vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code The vehicle learns the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle. 6.Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password).
SOURCE: All warning lights flashing on dash of chevy
All warning lights flashing on dash of my 2002 chevy trailblazer. Runs fine all gagues go dark and turn back on every now and then. Also the gagues all go to the right or stick half way like I am idling at 5000 and going at a speed of 60mph when I am sitting still. I am thinking it has something to do with my computer because the rest of the truck is working just fine.
SOURCE: replace low beam headlight on 2003 chevy trailblazer
I just replaced the low-beam bulb on my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. The grill just needs to be loosed slightly. Then, raise two L shaped brackets, one on each side. For the inside one, I needed to use a flathead screwdriver to get to it. The light assembly can then be pulled out. Remove the rubber cover and rotate the bulb one quarter turn left to release it. Pull out the bulb, replace with a new one ($11.50) from Advance Auto Parts, and reverse the process. Once I figured it out, took about 10 minutes total.
SOURCE: 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer..bad rattling under truck and feet.
It could be a bad rear blower motor, or resistor? theres a lot under the truck that could make noise, have a repair shop check it and make repairs.
Testimonial: "Thanks..you been very helpful and polite if I may say so myself, unlike other "helpers" on here. Have a blessed day!"
SOURCE: 2003 trailblazer back air stays on after the truck
hi, there is a technical service bulletin published by general motors about these trailblazers and this problem, it is very common to have this problem if you own one of these. the rear a/c module is located on the passenger side in the very back underneath the plastics and bezels in the back. there is a blower resistor module that controls the fan speeds and recieves input from the control panel that gets too hot and melts the plastic surrounding the wiring connector and allows the terminal inside the connector to short the fan control wire to battery power. if this is the case, you will have to replace the resistor module, the wiring and connector, and sometimes the blower motor. you should contact you local gm/chevy dealer for parts though, they have the wiring pigtail so you replace just the connector end, and the new style resistor module, and if i remeber right, i think there is a air shield in the kit to install to improve air flow inside across the resistor to help cool it down. the blower motor when running produces the cooling ability for the resistor, if there was no airflow across the resistor, it would overheat almost immeadiatly. take the rear plastics off and the rear seat out, and have a look, you should be able to find this problem pretty quickly.
