#676 of 737 Re: 1997 Pontiac Grand Am SE3.1L-Passlock or BCM [compusmith] by lovemygrandam Aug 10, 2009 (6:27 pm)
Replying to: compusmith (Aug 10, 2009 5:04 pm) Tim, You really need a service manual for your vehicle. It will enable you to locate your BCM, if you have one, and will show the wiring for your particular vehicle. Go to message #599 and click on the link at the bottom of the message.
#677 of 737 BCM 1997 Grand Am 3.1L, AT by compusmith Aug 10, 2009 (7:27 pm)
Does anyone know where the BCM is located on this car? I'm troubleshooting and my Chilton's doesn't even mention it anywhere.   Thanks -Tim

#679 of 737 passlock probs w/Saturn by mcleff Aug 15, 2009 (9:55 am)
All of those grand am owners are having same problems we've had with our 2003 Saturn L200. Generally this happens when my husband tries to start the car, but it has happened to me also. Usually it means a 15-20 minute wait before it will start, but yesterday it was an hour and a half. In fact, I was calling for a tow when I tried one more time and it started. Does anyone know of a way to disable this damn thing? Thanks. mcleff Replies to this message: lovemygrandam (Aug 16, 2009 2:17 pm)

Replying to: mcleff (Aug 15, 2009 9:55 am) This is the first I've heard of this problem existing on Saturns, but I'm not surprised. Before going any further, you might try reading all the posts mentioned in post #599. That may give you a clue of how to bypass the problem, but the best thing I can advise is to get hold of a service manual for your particular vehicle, and follow the wiring of the security system. Then post any wiring diagrams that show the hall effect switches in the ignition system on this forum. We will then try to figure a way to bypass your particular vehicle. It would also be helpful if you post the pages from your owner's manual regarding the security system.   Many of us here have successfully bypassed or disabled the security system on our Grand Ams and Aleros. I'm sure a similar fix could be used on Saturns of models which are similar, and around the same vintage.   Dick B.

Replying to: virgo58 (Jul 03, 2007 6:36 pm) I agree with you! Customer Service was a big joke. I am so excited to write I finally traded in my piece of junk 99 Grand Am. I had so many problems with it in the past 3 years. I would never go anywhere in it because I never knew when it would not start. I had the passlock disconnected but still had problems with it starting! I had to have it towed to trade it in because it would not start. Oh well-Good luck to everyone and thank God I no longer own a Pontiac!

#683 of 737 Keyless Remote Entry Replacement - 01 Grand Am GT by lhelfer Sep 09, 2009 (9:20 am)
I bought an 01 Grand AM GT & the owner had lost the keyless remote to the vehicle. I have attempted to order a replacement online at a couple of places, giving my VIN #, and have been told that it appears I may require an older type remote that came on early models of 2001 grand am and they refer me to GM dealer. Does anyone have any recommendations? Replies to this message: lovemygrandam (Sep 10, 2009 4:00 am)

Replying to: lhelfer (Sep 09, 2009 9:20 am) My advise... Get a shop manual for your vehicle. This will have the part number of the Remote that you will need for your vehicle. Then go to a junk yard and buy a couple of GM remotes of that model. Replace the batteries, and then take them with you to a Chevrolet Dealer. They will charge you $25.00 to program your vehicle to accept the remotes. (The Pontiac dealer will charge you $40 for the same service.)

He had the same problem with his 2003 Grand Am, last night. So, I check around on the internet this morning & found this site. I found your answer about the security system on his car. We went by the instructions and within 10 mins. his car started, Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you again. Have a blessed day!!!!!!!!
