Remotes problem on my 2008 Pontiac G6 SE
2.4L
GM Tech = JK
question = I have the "1SV" base model G6. It did not come with a key
FOB, but does have power door locks.
The dealership says the car did not come with the key FOB because it
does not have a receiver for remote keyless entry.
The website http://www.keylessride.com (which sells remotes) indicates
my car is equipped with remote keyless entry (based on my VIN) and they
have a $44 remote that will work after a dealer or locksmith programs
it.
My question: how can I tell without a doubt whether my car is equipped
with the receiver short of spending the $$ for a remote and convincing
the dealer to "try it anyway"?
JK:
First I would need your VIN# so i can check options on your car for myself.

Why Does My 2002 Pontiac Grand Am Blower Stay On
The blower motor comes on while the engine is off every hour or so. Runs for
about 10 seconds. Never causes a low battery situation. Doesn't seem to be
normal, but I guess it could be to prevent a/c odor...

Answer: This looks like a very common problem of a bad lock / latch
assembly. These are quite common on this and other body styles. Tapping
on it will sometimes get it to start to , or try to work. Only other problem I have
seen is chaffed or partially broken wires in the door-to-body passthrough.

| 1-13-11 i have the same car with the same problem. |
| 4-28-11 Is there a recall on this issue.......? My rear electric door locks no longer work either .... They don't work with the FOB nor the unlock button on the car any idea on the problem? I find it hard to believe is is so common and GM is silent I suppose the new GM is much like the old GM. |
| No, there is no recall on this issue. Recalls are mostly for safety issues. |
