Put key in ignition, turn forward two clicks (to on). Leave for 10 minutes. Then turn key off, then try to start. Did it reset the security?

If you want to disable the security, entirely bypass it and never worry again about passkey and all its problems, there is a firm that sells a module , easily installed, cost is $190 (vs. about $1000 for the dealer to work on and replace expensive parts in the passkey system). The module mimics the passkey system in signals to the computer, allowing the start circuit and ignition circuit to not be interrupted by passkey. The firm is at newrockies.com. Or check this site from a disgruntled Buick owner. It has a link to the newrockies site:

When the window is not used often or gets a little older the motor can "Hang Up" You might try having someone hold the down switch on the drivers door while you slam the door. This will sometimes jar the motor enough to make the brushes contact and start working.

sorry not sure the 12v prob will help this swtich works on 5v off 3v unlock 1v lock single wire lock/unlock logic signals
I found wiring diagrams at
http://www.dodge.com/bodybuilder/2004/docs/wd/rswd/tc.pdf
it is 2004 but use the wiring diagrams to test the wires
(most likely to fail where they flex)
because it is using logic gates disconnect the plug at each end of the wire you are testing or the damn thing will find a few diffrent ways to trick you.

SOURCE: Jag S-Type -intermitent fault where the remote fob does not work

This does not sound like a fob fault - but a locking control module fault , either in the hardware or software of the unit. Get it checked at a Jaguar dealers. When unlocking using the key - as soon as the door is opened you should hear a chime sounding inside the car - this is a timer counting down to sounding the alarm. If you put your key in the ignition as soon as you open the door the alarm should not go off and the chime should stop. If it does not this again points to a fault in the locking controller.
hope this helps - good luck.

98 Pontiac Grand Prix load front end roaring?

Defective fan clutch, if it has one. With a cold engine only, try spinning the fan blade by hand. If it does not turn freely, the fan clutch is defective. Warning: When the engine is hot, the fan can turn on by itself with the car not running and keys are NOT in the ignition.

Can I replace my 98 grand prix driver's seat with

You can replace it as long as the one you are replacing is the same set-up. If you have a manual adjusting seat and replace it with a power seat it will fit but you wont have the hook ups for it. Also make sure if it is a bucket seat (single person) you dont replace it with a bench (3 persons fit in front) seat or you will run into problems with the center console and shifter. vice versa may bolt up but there will be a gap between the 2 front seats

Keyless remote instructions for 99 pontiac grand prix do not work

Is the battery good in the remote? Is the remote working? Did the car come with keyless remote?
If you stop by a big box part store they have a tester to check the remote. Sometimes when the battery is replaced there is a solder joint that brakes.

I have the same problem with my 2008 Grand Prix - replaced the batteries in both key fobs - they worked for a few days and quit working. Remote start does not work and both of the cigarette lighter chargers do not work either. I have recieved a "charging system failure" message on the readout screen as well. I have checked with 2 different mechanics and they are not sure what it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Increase range for remote starter on 2007 grand prix

Try changing the battery in the key fog. If that doesn't work you can try finding an aftermarket key fog with a greater range. It is probably just default range.
