My boyfriend owns a 95 Grand Am GT. Among other problems, the AC has quit working, the cigarette lighter no longer works and the power locks are a bit finniky on the passenger door.
Besides that. He hasn't had the money to get a new license plate so its been sitting for a good month or so. We've gone out every few weeks to start it and make sure its still working. But we went out the other day and we could not unlock it. The clicker didn't work, and manually unlocking both the driver and passenger door resulted in a turning key but no unlocking of the door.
We thought it might need power to unlock, so we attached my car to it and attempted to jump, and no luck. (Getting into the engine was fun without a hood release - we had to unscrew the grill and pop it with a wrench)
Our only choice now is to figure out whats wrong or have it towed to the dealer. Is this mearly a power issue (let it charge longer on the jump) or a more serious problem.
Keep in mind the key WORKED before - like 2 weeks ago.
