#1 of 6 Grand Am will not start, no dashboard lights by cassmartinez

The car will not start. The 10 minute wait does not work, not sure what the problem is. I put the key in the igniton try to start and it does nothing. None of the dashboard lights work. The interior lights work, the cd player works (locked out of radio now), I can lock my car with the keyless entry fine. Does anyone know what to do? We've checked fuses. I got a diagnostic scanner and hooked it up but it won't connect to the car. I'm at a loss!

Ignition switch? What's the battery voltage?

Was a wire that went to some sort of circuit fuse or something...that lead to the ignition. Wire was 7.50 diagnosis and labor was 140.00 Total with tax=148.12 Sucks that labor and diagnosis was SO much but it was a cheaper fix than it could have been!

Can you post what it says on your receipt? I, we need to know what wire and what fuse. Many are having this problem. I love my GM cars, but this is the last Pontiac for me. Have some fun today.
