There is no code to reset after start replacement ! Where do you think you can input this code ,if there was one ? IF you replaced a starter for a no start condition an it still won't start you wasted your money ! What engine does yours have ? 2.2 ? (L61) or 3.4 L (la1) Circuit Description (L61) Moving the ignition switch to the START position sends a 12 V signal through the Park/Neutral Position Switch or Clutch Pedal Start Switch to the S terminal of the Starter Solenoid. Ground is supplied through the engine block. Circuit Description (LA1) Moving the ignition switch to the START position sends a 12 V to the PCM Ignition Crank Voltage Sense. At the same time a 12 V signal is sent through the PNP switch then through the coil side of the STARTER relay. The PCM verifies that all parameter a met for starting. The PCM then grounds the control circuit of the START relay. When the START relay is energized it allows voltage to the starter solenoid S terminal.

Susan, take it somewhere else, and ask them prior to paying if they fail it because of smoke, have them take a look first.

Remove the signal lever (switch) clean the grease completely and lube again with di-electric grease.
This should solve your problem.

When you first turn the key on do you hear the fuel pump turn on? If not, then the pump, which is in the tank, has likely seized. You can try banging the tank with a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to see if you can get the pump going temporarily.

This could be the bcm getting ready to fail.

I have a 2004 Pontiac Grand am se and I'm replacing the fuel pump. I have done everything and the only thing left is taking the pump off the gas tank and I cannot remove the outer metal ring that holds the fuel pump. Please help, is the a trick to it?

replace the fuel filter in the gas line.
could be water in gas and it would plug it up.

Hi Chris, there is a main fuse, usually it like big amps like close to 100 amps. depending on the make and model. It will be under the hood. what usual happens is the jumper cables are hooked up with reversed, but that doesn't matter. What matters is a 60 to 100 amp fuse that is blown, if its a older model it will have a bar fuse, new ones are sometimes solder in. The fuse will be blown, you should be able to see it visually. It should say battery main fuse more then likely its a 60, should be a pluck and chuck. Hope this helped Tim

push button and pull

No. Do a reset. or relearn. Reset. turn the key on for 10 minutes, off for 30 seconds. Start the car. relearn is three times this. start the car after the third time. Have a charger on it.

The relays are in the Left side Instrument panel fuse block. The easiest way to check it is to swap with a known good relay. I would check the ground point to make sure it isn't loose. The info I see says the Ground is G201. That is number 2 in the picture. The other picture shows the door lock schematic and you see at the lower left the ground point of G201

YOU CAR SECURITY THEFT DETERENT MODE KICKED IN MEANING YOUR BCM OR IGNITION KEY AND SWITCH IS WORN WHERE THE BCM AND PCM DONT RECOGNIZE THEM.THINKING THE CAR IS BEING STOLEN.THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

Some of these have a little "U" shaped clip that needs to be removed first. it slides into the cable end and holds the ears out to engage them in to the metal guide... if that is out all we ahve ever done is use a screw driver and pry it out.
