1996 Firebird- a few questions

Aug 01, 2003 5 Replies
1) tail light assembly- I've beensearching all over and either can't find it or not searching properly. my car was rear-ended in a parkling lot and broke the tail light. any ideas EXACTLY what it's call or where i can find one?


2) remote keyless entry. will unlock, truck, alarm, but unlock does NOT work on either remote. batteries are clean and i've tried to re-sync , nothing works. any ideas?


3) antenna: antenna is broken off, would like to replace but am unsure where to buy one or the difficulty in replacing it

thanks in advance for any input.


1) Taillight. 2) Something in the door lock circuit. 3) GM dealer or Delco distributor

Depending on whether or not he still has the passenger side one and that is the one you need, I bought the left one several months ago from snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com for $42.00...included shipping cost. Also check Google for 4th gen parts...several resources available.

Look for 'taillight lens'. And look for one in a bone yard, you can save yourself some $ on that and the antenna...

Original poster:

Go to the GM dealer and have the parts person look up the parts for you. Get the part #s of those items.

Now plug those into
