The PassLock system on your Grand Am is the same thing known as a lock system or keyless remote system on most other cars. This technology allows you to control your door locks, your panic alarm and your trunk release from a distance. If your remote is not working properly, or needs to be replaced, you can temporarily disconnect it in just minutes from inside your car.
Locate the edges of the dashboard panel over the radio or stereo system, and to the right of your steering column.
Unscrew this panel from the edges of the dashboard, and use a flat blade to pry the edges of the panel loose.
Wedge the blade into one spot in the panel to pop it off, then set the panel aside.
Locate the PassLock system module underneath the dashboard, and locate the wire connected to the car's positive battery terminal.
Disconnect this wire at the PassLock module to completely disable the system. Replace the dashboard panel once you are done.
