expert help needed

i have a 95 3.4 firebird and the module that stays behing the glove box is missing (i guess its the alarm module)
how do i get one?? does any1 know how much i can get one from? and what are the possibilities to hook the wires and forget about the module? does my car work without the module? HELP ME PLEASE...

There are a few switches back there including the airbag module, but if you say the alarm, then that's what I'll post.

Alarm Module Part # 16215659, and it cost's roughly $200 from GM. I have no idea who and where to get an aftermarket module that would be cheaper.

is that alarm module you are talking about the small box that connect the wires together?? i guess that´s the one i need...

[hockeyman]

It doesn't show any wires in the diagram. It just shows the parts and their numbers.
Also, take a look on ebay. There is an alarm module for sale, and I think it's the one you are referring to, and it's going for about $15-$20

In ebay, enter "camaro firebird alarm module"
You can enter either camaro or firebird, doesn't have to be both.

thanks.... ill take a look at it right now... but i just wanna make sure its the one i need for my car since ive never seen one because my car came over to brazil without the module... got it? but i know for sure that there are 64 wires to be conected to it....

Sounds like the BCM (Body Control Module) to me. Gonna have to order one from GM or ebay.

Honestly, I'd run it over to a dealer to have someone there find out what module/sensor you need. You can spend alot of hard earned money trying to find out what is missing, when it turns out it was a simple part that cost less than $20. Have a dealer check it out before you go trying to buy the correct part [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
To clear things up, I have no clue as to what sensor has 64 wires going into it, except the PCM.

thats the thing.... i DONT have a pontiac dealer here in brazil.... maybe if i go to a GM dealer they will give me a clue?!?!!??!

Pontiac and GM are one in the same. They will tell you what it is.


My bet is its a harness/connecter that they did not use -- a lot of cars have non-used connections like that for options. They wire the cars to be able to work with just about every option available, but if you dont get all the options that often times leaves empty spaces/connections for more sensors/modules/connections [img]smile.gif[/img]


If you are not experiencing any problems with the vehicle then I would not worry about it! [img]smile.gif[/img]
