If your Pontiac Grand Am won’t start, here the fix. No, it is very likely not your starter’s fault of a blown fuse. Most likely, it has to do with your vehicle security system. The GM PATS system is known to have a fault and has been recalled.
The PATS immobilizes your car. To reset the system:
1. Place the key in the ignition and close the door.
2. Turn key to the ON position. Security light in dash starts flashing. Wait approximately 10 minutes.
3. Security light goes solid after 10 minutes. Then it disappears after about 5 seconds. Wait 10 seconds after light disappears, then turn the ignition to the OFF position.
4. Wait 10 seconds, then you can now start your car.
Hope this helps!

I just give it a squirt of starter fluid and it fires right up. Takes 2 minutes tops.
My grandmother has been doing this for 5 years when it won’t start it makes a humming sound
