Grand Am Ignition Problems


Recommended Posts

A while back my 97 grand am ignition locked up. I didn't have any problems with it, it was very random. I bought an aftermarket ignition and had a mechanic put it in. Now my theft light is constantly coming on and turning off the car. I have reset the key several times (10 min trick). Could I of just got a bad part from the store? I didn't know if buying an original GM ignition would make it work or if there could be another problem with car?

not sure i dont believe they came with passlock in the early months of 97 but 98 does have them.  If i remember correctly that shouldnt make a difference since i had to replace my steering columm i used a 97 columm on a 98 and didnt make a difference ( no relearn or flash required) .  I would try a gm ignition but i really dont think it will help.
