Thanks in advance for any responses to my question!!
Thanks
Please help
I was reading about the water leak in the passanger side, and we have the same problem. I am looking into that, but if anything was found out that would be helpful
Problem right now is the head lights arn't coming on. I cover the sensor and the other lights come on, but not the head lights. If I manually put on the lights it is the same thing. If I pull the lever to switch between hi and low beam there is no click but I get the lights to come on as long as I hold the lever. They say this is for flashing to pass. I would like to know before I tear apart the steering column to replace the switch or if someone else has had this problem and there is an easier fix.
thanks
it is not a fuse, the dash will still light up, but the hands will not move.
my car is doing the same thing and dont have a clue on what to do
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY NOW. ESTIMATED COST?
2. Driver window opens at will when starting car and sometimes won't stay closed unless I flip the window lock button a few times.
3. Steering wheel volume works on occasion .. mute too
4. Trunk interior lights wont come on (fuses all good)
5. Backup lights and rear all time lights all not working at same time .. recently replaced all lights by removing housing and replacing (fuses all good on side panel and under hood)
6. Dash lights (odometer) will not turn on but all other dash lights work
This car is full of electrical gremlins!!! Please help !!! :confuse:
Here's the deal:
Check engine light came on while driving. Turned car off when i got home. Then it wouldn't start again. Put the key in the ignition, turned forward, wouldn't turn over, no sound at all! No lights, radio, locks dont work, no power at all! Its not the battery or starter. And ignition will not turn back to farthest back position so i cant even get my key out! ANY suggestions would help! Thanks
I've got an '01 Regal and the backlit dashboard only lights up occasionally. Sometimes if I play with the headlamp control nob that'll turn it on for awhile. But it always turns off eventually. I've talked to mechanics and car parts store guys about it and I've gotten a dozen possibilities.
One said it might just be a fuse. Another said there was probably a wiring problem within the dash and it would most likely have to be replaced.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John
I have had electrical issues with this car before including multiple blown (light related) fuses and blown light bulbs (with melted plastic). I believe there is some sort of short in the system. Unfortunately, pinpointing where is the hard part. This may also lead to a problem with the main computer module. At this point, I am unsure and would appreciate any advice. Thanks, Dan
The fm/am stereo doesnt hold a station...The abs light /trak light/security light was staying on fulltime while it was running for the last year.THE WHOLE YEAR
WHEN I got the car it had a blown motor...I put the motor in and it ran fine and has never skipped a beat...I inherited alot of issues I didnt know were present..WE all find out the truths after we get the car running..
.Well anyhow The cars odometer has read 388,894 and does not move at all EVER SINCE APRIL 07 it has been stuck...THE TRIP WORKS FINE....It counts miles resets ect...SO I know I hooked up everything right...I am a good mechanic...I just need help diagnosing these electrical problems...
SO #1 am/fm stations dont hold on radio more like constant fuzz
#2 no lights/no running/just died in driveway and key wont come out or go back/not battery/not altenator.
#3 ODOMETER stuck at 388,000 and not moving but trip works
#4 no brake lights
Please help me fix my problems...I did some checking and saw previous owner did some NOVICE ELCTRICAL by cutting the wiring harness to radio to do his own mischeif for amp outputs to the trunk for a ghetto system..I am wondering what all if everything could be shorted due to his splicing and what can I do to fix..PLEASE HELP
I hope someone has ideas or a fix Thanks
good luck
Sorry Edmonds, but you have failed me and the rest of us :mad:

thanks again!!!!!!!!!!
I fixed mine by putting a tie wrap around the assembly keeping the rod up & tight.
Hope this helps anyone with this problem. I just joined March 4th.
I took the whole car almost appart to find out previous owner did some shabby electrical ....He cut the radio wires to install subs and amp in back to factory radio...ALso installed his own python alarm system ...THESE ARE THE last problems I have if you can help....He shorted out the odometer so it now reads 388K when its a 98 with 122k I found a place in florida 125$ to reset ...they say there is a device that kept track and will still have that number..
MY radio wont hold a station...SOME days it will hold a radio station for 5 mins sometimes it will for 1 hr sometimes it wont hold any stations including am..I checked the am/fm antenna amplifier in the HEAD LINER back seat and it is good...What do u think this kid did? I am trying to fix so I can sell this NIGHTMARE!!!!! thanks again....
