1997 Pontiac Grand Am Repair Question
Mileage: No information provided.
97
Answer
how would i find that out,whether it has a computer chip or not?
oh i'm sorry. the key doe not have a computer chip
Because the dash dosen't go out in the start position, I suspect it is the ignition sw. It is located on top of the steering column about 1/2 way down. It is driven by a rod from the sw.
It is adjustable and quite often the screws loosen causing the sw to slip.
Drop the cover over the under dash. Drop the column on the seat and you can see the sw. It is only 3/8 nut on the car. You will see how it is connected. Good luck
i have already pulled the column and located the switch,this one actually is right at the key cylinder switch, with two wires running from the bottom end of it. the switch was very hot when disassembling it, and am having to replace it anyways as something broke while trying to replace the same switch that i took out. i am wondering if this vehicle has a starter relay switch and where it might be located. i bypass the ignition switch with no results.
