ACDelco D1493F Original Equipment Ignition Review

I came with instructions but I watched a YouTube video before attempting to install. I also came with Keyhole Lube. This saved me from paying a locksmith who asked $150 just to come and do it. Very important

There are many toggle switches in the package so you just need to arrange them in the same order as your old cylinder. Reassembly was easier than disassembling a damaged cylinder. Just remember not to put the bottle in the outer case until the seat belt is connected.

Used this part to replace the pass lock chip. My chip has failed. I replaced the housing with the chip and reinstalled the original lock cylinder. Program the key onto the chip and the car is ready to go again. The lock cylinder comes with everything you need to code with your key, with instructions.

I coded it in about an hour while teaching my son how to do it. Car keys are not included. There are many lock pins, springs, and lubes to…

Pontiac Grand Am ignition lock cylinder is known to have failed. This is the second time I've replaced it after about 100,000 miles on my 2002 Grand Am SE1. It happens like this: your car suddenly won't start. It will still roll, but to no avail. The electronics still work.
