Consumer Review Video - 2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 3.4L V6 Sedan (4 Door)
Common problems and easy repairs on a 2003 Grand Am
The 2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 is somewhat easy to maintain. The battery has unobstructed access to both the terminals and the bracket, allowing for reliable jumpstarts and replacements. Changing the fuses won’t be a problem as both fuse boxes are quickly accessible and come provided with their own fuse puller. The spare tire and jack kit are conveniently packaged together, allowing for quick removal and set-up in the event of a flat.
However, the 2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 has many convoluted procedures. The headlights will require either a panel or an entire housing removal for access to their bulbs, which won’t allow for reliable changes. The center brake light is also tedious to reach, as you must disconnect it from the inside of the trunk. Checking the transmission fluid level may be a problem as this vehicle lacks a dipstick.
