2007 Pontiac Grand Prix Key Remote
Asked by GuruD4P1N Aug 03, 2017 at 02:48 PM about the 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix Base
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My remote for my 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix
was working pretty well about a month, all
of a sudden, the remote just stopped
working all together, I thought the battery
just died, so I bought a new one and
replaced it, but it still won't work. Any idea
why that might be?

Check that the battery holder in your key fob hasn't broken away from the circuit board. That's very common on some models. It can be resoldered if it has. Also, there's a receiver module on the body of the car that can fail. As well as replacing it I believe there's some reprogramming required which may need to be done by a dealership.
I'm not sure about the location but its called the body control module. A google search should easily reveal its location. Find a shop with the proper equipment to test it first to make sure that's really your problem. Probably at least $500 to replace it, maybe more, so you might want to look at other options like using your keys from now on given the age and value of the car.
