fuses PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 1997 Owners Manual

Activating the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open, or use the Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter. The SECURITY light should come
on
and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off after
about
30 seconds and the system will then be armed.
If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and
then shuts
off while the ignition is on, the security
system has detected a problem with itself. See your
dealer for service.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, or
if the door key
cylinders
are damaged, the alarm will go off. It will also
go off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your vehicle’s lamps
will flash and the horn will sound
for three minutes, then
will go
off in order to save battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate
if you
lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It activates
only
if you use a power door lock switch while the door is
open, or the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
Avoid setting
off the alarrn by accident. Always unlock
a door
with a key, or use the Remote
Keyless Entry system transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm.
Stopping the alarm: If you set
off the alarm by accident,
unlock any door with your key. You can also turn
off the
alarm
by pressing the UNLOCK button on the Remote
Keyless Entry system transmitter. The alarm won’t stop
if you try to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the alarm: Open the window, then follow the
directions for activating the system described earlier.
Once the alarm is set, reach through the window and
manually unlock the door from the inside or turn on the
ignition. The alarm should sound.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in
the Index.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

PASS-K~~~ 11
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key
11
(Person’alized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
11 is a passive
theft-deterrent system. It
works when
you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key
I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
I1 system senses that someone is
using
the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about thee minutes, the starter
won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine.
If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone
from randomly trying different
keys with different resistor pellets in
an attempt to
make a match. The
ignition key must be clean and
dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start.
If the
engine does not start and the SECURITY light is
on, the
key may be dirty or wet.
Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. If the starter s’till won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes
and try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index);
If the staster won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See
your Pontiac dealer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key 11.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work, and the
SECURITY light will flash. But you don’t have to wait
three minutes before trying another ignition key.

If the arrows just stay on as you signal a turn or a lane
change,
a signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers won’t see your
turn signal. If YOU have the
Driver Information Center, it will tell you
if you have a
burned out bulb. See “Driver Infomation Center” in
the Index.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs.
See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 4/4 of a mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the turn
signal.
To turn off the chime, move the turn signal lever
to the
off position.
Weadlamp High/Low Beam Changer
To change the headlamps
from low beam to high
beam
or high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal
lever toward
you. Then
release
it. When the high
beams
are on, this light on
the instrument panel will
also be on.
Flash-To-Pass Feature
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass. It
works even if your headlamps are
off.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you a little,
but not
so far that you hear a click.
If your headlamps are
off or on low beam, your
high-beam headlamps will turn on. They’ll stay on as
long
as you hold the lever toward you and the
high-beam indicator on the dash will come
on. Release
the lever to turn the high-beam headlamps off.

MaxifuseslRelay Center
To check the fuses in this underhood fuse ‘center, turn
the two knobs one-quarter turn counterclockwise and
loosen the metal wing nut on the passenger side of the
cover. Then remove the cover. The inside
of the cover
has a chart that explains the features and controls
governed by each fuse
and relay.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad
fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the
same
amperage. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without -- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two
fuse blocks in your vehicle: the driver’s
side and passenger’s side fuse blocks.
ProCarManuals.com

Driver’s Side Fuse Block The driver’s side fuse block is to the left of the steering
wheel, under the instrument panel.
Snap
off the cover to reveal the fuses. You’ll find a fuse
puller clipped to the inside
of the cover. Place the wide
end
of the fuse puller over the plastic end of the fuse.
Squeeze
the ends over the fuse and pull it out.
Spare fuseseare located in the slots labeled “Spare” on
the following chart.
When finished, replace the cover by snapping it back up
into place.

Additional fuses are located in the relay center, on the
passenger’s side, below the instrument panel. You must
remove the sound insulator on the right side
of the
passenger footwell to replace these
fuses.
Since replacing these fuses is difficult. We recommend
that you see your dealer if you need one replaced.
