Started car all winter no issues now key fob does not work. Unlocked with key - tried to start car and nothing. It’s like the car is locked down - I disconnected the fully charged battery and tried the reprogramming 10/10/10 waited for horn to sound but nothing. Opened the old key fob and changed battery/pain/ tried again -same nothing any ideas

What does the security light do? The VATS section of the key is powered by the car, not the battery in the fob.

Security light on stereo blinking but the one by the odometer is not

So that is the car doing? No crank? Crank, runs then dies?

I'm thinking it's something else going on.

No crank

No crank

If the VATS was not reading your key it would crank but not fire or fire but die since it kills the fuel pump.

I'd have the battery tested or CAREFULLY jumping the starter solenoid. Check fuses and relays as well.

So did the car allow the FOB to be programmed/re-programmed with the 10/10/10 method or when you say "nothing" do you mean the car didn't honk at all as if it's not recognizing that an FOB programming attempt is being made?

If it's the latter, even though you went through the massive pain(I tried and gave up with my old FOB) of replacing the battery in the old FOB, the chip board itself might have finally given up the ghost as it happened to me just a month ago. TL-DR bought a new Holden FOB from Juniorss on this forum and programmed it with the 10/10/10 and good as new.

That's the link I used off of eBay for him but it looks like he's sold through that batch of keys he had. Maybe message him on here directly and see if he has any available if the FOB replacement ends up being the solution to your issue.

Up for sale is an OEM GM key fob for the 2004 2005 2006 Pontiac GTO. As you can see, the fob has the Holden logo on the back as opposed to the Pontiac logo. The Pontiac key fobs are no longer produced, but these are identical to the GTO fob except for the logo.

Here's a link for Junior's other eBay posting I just found for just the FOB without the blank spare key and without the two screws.

Best of luck mang.

I may be wrong about it only disabling the fuel pump but still check everything before you start throwing parts at it.

If this turn out to be true, it would be a good case to try ether (starting fluid) to confirm nothing else is wrong.

do you get accessory power?

The car hasn’t moved since October just starting over the winter/ key fob non functional and now I’m getting fuel gauge error contact dealer today. It was reading 3/4 tank yesterday now empty - guess it’s not the key fob

 

[Nothubertjfarnsworth]

Could be the BCM or the BCM harness. check behind the glovebox for the infamous rubbing wires issue.

Shit man, I had similar gauge errors and bizarre behavior when my ECU fried about 8 or so years ago during a super heavy downpour here in SoCal. It must have gotten wet somehow and that afternoon when I tried starting the car, the gauge cluster went ape shit and threw all kinds of errors and different ones each turn of the key to the on position. After getting it towed to the dealer, it ended up being the ECU and had to get a replacement in.

Have you had any super inclement weather recently or even wild temperature swings? The cars' electronics seem quite sensitive and about a year ago when my car was outside of my home garage for a 48 hour period and the ambient temperature fell to about 10 degrees, that next day I tried to start the car and it struggled to start and then started and died promptly. After re-powering it on, the air bag fault came on and has been on every ignition cycle ever since.

Ok I pulled the glove box out to check wires again I go to take bcm out and water came out of it - floor was dry. I looked all over above and there is no wetness anybody had this issue
