problems are away.

But, did you have any trouble with the transponder key security system, in that when u disconnect the ignition switch, the system wouldn't start the car, & u had to pay a dealer to re-set it?
That's my concern/so many people have reported this happening.
If anyone else has replaced the ignition swich to cure the heater/air problem, please respond, & tell me :
1) the year/miliage of the grand prix (mine has 45,000 miles (heater hasn't worked since about 38,000 miles).
2)The engine size u have.,
and,
3) Any way around the possible security key drawback i just described??
4) Also, if the heater controls don't work, does this create a problem when flushing the cooling system(e.g., don't u need to ctivate /divert water to the heater core, in order to flush thru IT too???
w. older cars u did.
I have a 2005 pontiac grand prix and on my climate controls when i got to turn the
blower fan knob to adjust it for a certain speed it only stays at one speed and also it will not turn off even when the car is off and knob is in the off position.It keeps running constantly.What do I need to check and where.Thank You
Unfortunately, the relay is located in a difficult place to access - on the firewall behind the AC motor.
Some of you may have noticed that the carpet on the passenger side of the car gets wet when it rains. . . . . . ....... :P
TIA
:sick:
I have a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix and have had the same problem occur in 2008 and again just a few days ago. Both times it was the A/C Power module that had to be replaced. When I replaced it in 2008, there was a service bulletin about the problem, but no bulletin this time according to the dealer. There is an obvious problem with this part, as I just picked my car up today and after driving for 30 minutes, the problem re-occurred. At least this time it will be a warrantee repair, but that doesn't make up for the inconvenience. Good luck!
I can't believe that Pontiac hasn't called in a fix on this. I can't tell you how many people I have seen with the same problem: that stupid leaky area between the hood and firewall, water gets in and, well, you know what they say about water and electrical stuff - they just don't mix. :sick:
I had the dash torn apart and was told that Pontiac did not put the cabin filter in so there was dirt and paper in the fan. He cleaned it out but never got around to getting me the part I needed to repair it.
Good luck
I would like to look further into your situation. Could you please email me your VIN? Also, include the user name from forum.

It all has a lot to do with the Catalytic Converter..... Which that has already been replaced and has nothing to do with the problem i am having now. The thermostat and radiator were also checked and those seem to be fine as well. I dont quite understand why these problems i am having would not register?
I would like to set up a case with GM Customer Assistance. In order to get the process started I will need your complete contact information (including full name, mailing address and phone number), VIN, current mileage and involved dealership sent to me in an email. Also, could you please provide a brief description of the problems you are experiencing?
Thank you,
