Affected: 1988 GRAND PRIX
The 1988 Grand Prix has a combination glove box lock as standard equipment. This type of lock has some new and unique features.
The combination should be set at "000" from the factory.
To change the combination, move the latch release lever to the right and then move the orange tab up. This will lock the latch release lever in the far right position and then allow any combination to be dialed into the lock. Push the orange tab down and the new combination is set.
If you forget the combination, there is a small key that looks like a feeler gauge with notches in one end which will allow you to find the combination. Insert the notched end of the key into the right side of each dial then rotate the dial until the key is seated. After this is done for the three dials you will have the forgotten combination and the glove box will open.
For obvious reasons the key should not be left in the glove box.
