How to disengage the anti-theft system on a 1997 grand am?

To disengage the anti-theft system on a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am, you can follow these steps:

1. Ensure that you are in a safe and well-lit area.

2. Insert your key into the ignition switch.

3. Press and hold the "Unlock" button on your key fob while turning the key clockwise to the "On" position. Hold both for approximately 3-5 seconds.

4. If the security light on the dashboard turns off or begins to flash rapidly, release the key and the "Unlock" button.

5. Start the vehicle by turning the key further clockwise.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 if the anti-theft system does not disengage after the first attempt.

Note: If the security light remains illuminated or the engine fails to start after multiple attempts, there may be an underlying issue with the vehicle's security system. It is advisable to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or automotive locksmith to further troubleshoot and resolve the problem.
