1998 PONTIAC GRAND AM buttons

To replace the battery in the keyless entry system:
1. Use a small coin or flathead screwdriver to separate
the bottom half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the new one.
Make
sure the positive (+) side of the battery faces
down. Use one %volt,
CR2032, or equivalent
type battery.
3. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
cover is on tightly, so water won't get in.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter with your
vehicle. If the transmitter does not work, try
synchronizing the transmitter with the receiver.
Synchronization
Your keyless entry system is equipped with a security
system that prevents anyone from recording and playing
back your signal. The transmitter does not send the same
signal twice
to the receiver. The receiver will not
respond
to a signal that has been sent to it more
than once.
To resynchronize your transmitter and receiver, follow
these directions:
1. Stand close to your vehicle.
2. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter at the same time.
3. Hold the buttons for five seconds. In this time, the
doors should lock and unlock once. This confirms
the resynchronization.
If the doors do not lock and
unlock,
see your dealer for service.
