      Good afternoon all,

      I was curious how big of a job changing a lock cylinder out of a 2000 pontiac grand am. I have another grand am here and the lock cylinder is way better than my sticky POS. I do not want to change ignition cylinder unless i have too. Can this be done? If so How?

      Thanks

          It’s not that bad of a job but if your car has passlock you might be causing yourself a headache. You could always try some GRAPHITE lubricant inside the cylinder to free up the moving parts.

            What do you mean passlock? How do I know if my car has this?

            Thanks

              Passlock is the GM theft deterent, imobilizer doohicky. When you turn the key on, engine off, if you have some sort of a light on your dash that says security or looks like it would be for security, your car has it. I’ve dealt with a few Aleros (same car) of the same generation that had it.

                Yes it does have the security light in both cars. In the video above it explains sortta about the security. Not sure what to do here if its even worth it. What happens if the new key does not learn to the computer of the car.

                Thanks

                      So i got this done. The video above was perfect no issues at all. Thanks college man.

                      Now i was wondering how to program a fob for my car so i don’t have to switch all the locks out. Picked up a couple of fobs from an auto wrecker but having problems programming them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                      Thanks

                          how do i know if i got the right keyless fob for my car I have googled it and does not tell me which fob i need to have the keyless entry. Another alternative is replace the door key lock with the current key to fit but how big of a job is this. Is it worth the time.

                          Thanks
