#32 of 39 Re: GM door code by medicleo May 13, 2008 (11:09 am)
Replying to: marsha7 (Nov 25, 2005 6:38 am) I bought the "secret" on eBay - dismantled the driver's door only to find that on my 2007 GM the door code is no longer printed on the part number label on the model, which on the 2007 GM is in the lower front edge of the driver's door. There were no other labels in any of the other reported places like hood hinge, trunk etc although these may have been removed as mine was a former rental vehicle.   My local Ford dealer wanted $55 to plug in their computer and read the code.   I have determined that the code is a five-digit number, that is fixed by module, and IS NOT a default number like 12345 on every module. (Logic says that would mean that anyone who knows the default code could open every vehicle without keys) You need the fixed primary code to be able to enter or delete secondary user entered codes.   Pressing 7/8 and 9/0 simaltaneously will lock all doors and test that the keypad is working.

#35 of 39 Car Won't Start After Short Trip by gobig Sep 27, 2008 (1:19 pm)
I have a 1998 Grand Marquis. When I first go to start my car after it's been sitting over night it starts right up. I'll drive for a few miles then park and turn off the car. When I come back 20 minutes later I'll turn the key and the battery will kick in but when I turn it further there is nothing. The engine doesn't turn over at all. What I usually do is open the hood to "cool" the engine more quickly. I'll get out of the car and lock it via the key pad. I'll wait a few minutes then enter the car via the keypad. When I try again it kicks in and starts normally.   The only thing I can think of is in the past I couldn't get my key fob to work. A dealership said they key pad module wasn't good and that's why they couldn't get the key fob to work.   Is there a chip in the key that communicates with the key pad module? If that communication is broken the care won't start? Has anyone heard of that before? I can't think of anything else that would cause my no start behavior. Thanks in advance for you help!

Replying to: gobig (Sep 27, 2008 1:19 pm) sure, the key has a chip in it, but unless the key is getting hot, if it works once , then again later, it is not the program in the key....Check your brake lights when the car wont start..if they are not working your safety interlock multi-contact switch in the steering column could be the problem....it started acting intermittant on me and all sorts of goofy stuff happened...If you have a check engine lite on you should get someone with a reader to get the code number ,,usually a used car dealer will have a hand-held unit for fixing the stuff on thier own lot, but they wont try to soak you like a dealer would....Remember, the weather is starting to turn, and batteries get old before you know it, if the car has good compression, and gets warm then a weak battery may not turn it over until it cools, check your battery terminals, clean them with baking soda and water, then after you re-assemble them, cover them with a light..(very light) coat of oil. also check the battery acid level, only use distilled water to top the up, as even maintainence free batteries sometimes get low on liquid, especially after this dry summer... Good luck

Thanks for the tips. I don't have a check engine lite. I'll check the break lights and the battery. Thanks for the help! I appreciate it!
