My 2000 Grand Am will not start. At first the security light would come on and all I had to do was wait 10 minutes and car would start. Now car willl not start even with 10 minute wait. Was told it was Body Control Module and it had to be flashed after installing. How can you flash the BCM w/o going to dealer and pay $1000.

Try resetting the security system:

GM PASS LOCK RELEARN- Ignition to "run" position, try to start and let key return to "run" position.
Approx ten minutes security light will go off
Turn key "off" and wait 5 seconds
Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 relearns.
Turn key off, then start it.
