96 grand am se -the doors unlock on there own either when parked or driving.I dont have a car starter which seems to be the only question ppl come up with.what could this be?I hear a click when I press the lock button which is coming from the black box maybe the relay which is located under the dash near the drivers door

    Thanks for the help But I found the problem.It was the black box guessing u could call it a power door solonoid.I took it off and went and replaced it and so far so good.Plus added the wire wrap over the wires just incase.

    Ok I was wrong I thought I knew the problem but still doing it.I was told in the newer models its the stereo called monsoon that causes this but not in mine I have the stock model delco from pontiac.

You probably have a power wire broken & shorting out to another wire in the door harness. This problem occurs most often in older cars & is usually solved by going to the driver's side door & where the harness flexes, peel back outer casing to inspect the wires. Solder any broken or frayed wires. Tape or heat shrink wrap all repaired wires. Hope this helps you! Good luck!

Hi Tom your vehicle is equipped with a Rev limiter it will not allow you to rev the engine above 4000 with the trans in park; as for the first problem you may have one of two things, one of the spark plugs or spark plug wires is bad or you have a flat spot on the throttle positioning sensor in which case have be replaced. Good luck?

Constant door unlocking, random honking

There is probably an aftermarket security system on the vehicle or an aftermarket remote start - this doesn't really sound like a GM problem.

2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE, WON'T CRANK,RAN MY GAS LOW

Sounds like air in fuel line. Purge fuel line. By "crank", do you mean engine spins but won't catch? Try starter fluid in intake.
