Anyone have any ideas? :sick:
please help
My 2000 Grand Am V6 SE has Rear Turn Signal problems. When the blinker started blinking too fast, I removed the rear tail light covers thinking I would have to replace blown bulbs. Turns out the bulbs are okay but the housing/slots the bulbs fit in have melted and deformed and I either loose the connection or the heat also deformed the base of the bulb.
Has anyone else experinced this problem. Dealer says he has never heard of this (yeah right!). Pontiac has refused to review the problem unless it comes from the dealer who wants $'s to look at it and diagnose.
Do I have to replace the bulb holder? What does that cost?
The turn signal's and hazzard does not work at all. This is very dangerous for anyone not just me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Also the inside trunk button has not worked since I bought it either and I can not figure this one out.
I have a 2000 Grand Am with a power window problem. Any window will stop working for a period of time (usually 1-2 days)and then start working again. It floats from window to window which leads me to believe it is nothing to do with internals of the door. Major problem when it is drivers window trying to pay tolls or any type drive thru. I also have had the security light problem since I purchased the vehicle. After it finally would not reset, dealership replaced the ignition switch and all was fine for aprox 6 mos. Brought it back and I was told it was a defective switch and it was changed again. 14 months later, light is on ALWAYS and flashes every 10-15 starts and needs the 10 min reset fix. 14 months and dealership says "past work warranty of 12 months".
Any Idea how to fix the Window and is this somehow related to passlock security problem?

I have a 2004 Grand Am, And I have a constant blinking noise after the turn signal is released. I would appreciate any HELP fixing this. Can you tell me how to get the dash off to get to the problem if you know what the problem is? Thanks.
You probably connected the new radio incorrectly and cause the battery to drain down. The new radio, is this an aftermarket radio or another Pontiac radio? Normally, you could find vehicle connector adapter between any GM vehicle and an aftermarket radio at Circuit City or may be Best Buy. The vehicle connector adapter costs you $ 10-15. So you do not have to connect to the fuse box.
Any radio needs :12 BATTERY, GROUND and IGNITION wire to function.12 V BATTERY and GROUND to power the radio. The IGNITION wire is important and should be connected to the vehicle original radio connector. It tells the radio to go to sleep when you turn off the car (IGNITION off). After that the radio will draw very little juice. Otherwise, if the radio does not go to sleep, it only takes 1-2 days to kill the car battery.

thanks, Hook
I was told it was the 4 way hazzard switch. So i bought one from the dealer and installed it . That did not solve the problem. and part is non returnable.
So I did the following...I rebooted the computer on the car. Step 1) Turn key on the "ON" position
Step 2) Disconnect the battery
Step 3) Turn Key off
Reconnect battery and start car.. This stop the noise
as of yesterday. no noise today, hopefully this solves the problem. have a great day
1) Change Oil light stayed on, even after resetting after I changed oil. Eventually, it went off after a few months. Didn't replace fuse (I know, I should have).
2) Lighter outlet stopped working awhile back. Hardly used it, so didn't have it checked out.
3) Few months ago, keyless entry remote stopped working. Changed battery & it worked fine for a couple of weeks, then stopped working. Changed battery again...couldn't get it to work. I lock/unlock car manually now with key.
4) Noticed 3 days ago that when I start car, clock resets to 12:00. Around same time, I noticed car turns over slow..acts like it won't start, (like the battery is going bad) then it starts.
Before I spend loads of money at a mechanic...could use some suggestions what these problems could mean and what I can do.
Electrical...battery....both?
Any help would be appreciated!

Can anyone help me get this reset? I have a 95.
-Tired of seeing the check oil light
Anyone have a similar issue with their car?
Any ideas?
Is this the sensor and does it need immediate attention? Any information on this would be great. Not sure what this drl thing is or does?
Thanks!
DRL = daytime running lamps
But, I check the lights and found out one of my headlights was out. Apparently, the mechanic said the light was ok, but it was way out of alignment and looked like it was "jammed in" and this was causing the sensor to detect it. Hence the light coming on.
The whole inside had to be taked out since somebody "rigged it" w/ bolts and the light "simply" couldn't be put back in. I remember I had some body work done and I believe this is how the whole thing started!
Lesson learned, if your warning lights work, they are a great tool and be careful who does body work on your vehicle!
Thank you.
I have a 99 Grand Am with some turn signal issues. First of all when I press the brake the entire right tail light goes out and the turn signal indicator on the dash stays lit solid. When I signal right (while driving and not braking as on an interstate to change lanes) the turn signal indicator on dash blinks really fast and the lower left reverse light blinks also??? My mechanic replaced both tail light circuit boards and nothing, still happening. Now he wants to replace the entire turn signal switch. From what I've been reading on many boards is that it could be the flasher? I don't know, I'm frustrated and confused. I'm a single mom and I really can't afford all this "guessing" by my mechanic...someone help please!!
