Fuse #8
I have to pull fuse 8 in order to tow behind my motorhome. This is the Ignition Switch, PASS-Key® III+ fuse. Just what does this fuse do and what would happen if I just plain left it out and drove the car? I'm assuming this disables the locking steering column but may be wrong. If that is all it did I would leave it out permenitly.

At least one member placed a switch in the wire to that fuse..
Saves time.. |

The manual says Fuse 8 is ignition switch, pass key 111+
But what would happen if I didn't replace it? |
My guess it that it won't start. Don't know about the pass key part, may just disable the feature. Maybe Chevy Mgr can shed some light if he reads this.

I found out what happens if not replaced. The car can start and as far as I know run but it won't let the key turn past off. So it won't go into lock so I can remove the key. Also cuts power to some other stuff like dome lights I think. |
May want to make sure you leave the windows down:D

Why leave the windows down?

Necro thread being brought back! It was relevant to a thing I went through recently. Anyway, for the archives, this will likely also disable remote start. Failure may look like interlock issue
