I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with this problem. I recently installed a trailer light wiring harness so I just knew that was the problem. Unfortunately I spent an hour disassembling the whole thing only to find that the problem wasn't solved.
I did a yahoo search "only the center brake light works" and found this forum. I walked out to the garage, turned the hazards on then off and the probem was solved!
Again, thank you!!!
I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix with around 55k miles on it. I checked all the fuses. I searched the Internet and this site. I could not find any forums where someone was having all these problems.
I just lost the transmision 5 months ago on this car and can not afford another $1500 to fix this problem.
Your help is greatly appreciated. It is snowing tonight and I have no heat.

Any suggestions or advice before I take it to the dealership?
Did you get your problem resolved? I have a simliar problem with my 2001 Grand Prix. My brother thinks it is the ignition switch.

I then noticed a list of things did not work:
Power windows
door chime
door locks
interior lights
radio
I checked some of the fuses all seemed fine. any ideas?
No matter what, unless I pull the fuse in the passenger side fuse box, or the J-style fuse #26 under the hood my parking lights and tail lights will not go off what so ever. I've tried turning them off from the head light switch to no avail.
The problem started when I was installing a wired FM modulator (for ipods etc...) it was night time and I mistook the "Dimmer?" wire (solid gray wire 4th from the end on the top row) in the radio harness for an accessory wire because when I'd turn the key on I'd get power and vice versa when I turned it off. So I wired everything tapping into that wire for power. The next morning when I finished the installation the modulator didn't work, nor was that wire getting any power. I found that that wire only got power when the headlights were on. I finally did research to find there is no acc. wire in the radio harness and found the correct wire to tap into in the fuse pannel.
Everything worked fine, but the parking lights and tail lights won't go off. I uninstalled the FM modulator and put everything back to factory state and still the lights won't turn off.
Since then, today:
*I unhooked all 3 inputs to the BCM
*Totally unhooked the Headlight switch
*swapped out all of the relays in the fuse box under the hood
*checked all fuses
*unhooked the harness mounted above the fuse panel
*pulled the panel of wires under the fuse panel (they have a bolt in the center)
*unhooked "yellow" harness on each side of the dashboard
Nothing in the car works now because I"ve unhooked everything I could think of, it won't even start but the parking lights are still on
Ideas or suggestions?
My headlights, tail lights and interior lights work fine; I just checked the fuses and they all seem to be okay. It looks to be an electrical problem, but I can't find much online to help me trouble shoot this problem. Is there anything I can do to isolate the problem? I did read somewhere that it could be a headlight switch? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! :confuse:

No warning lights come on. Seatbelts are buckled, doors are all closed, antitheft code is entered, plenty of gas, oil is new, turn signal not stuck on....
it makes me crazy when it does it. All I've been able to find is that it happened to a guy with a 97 grand prix a few weeks ago...but he hasn't gotten any answers either.
Help!!!
I love my grand prix but I have put more money into it over the last year that it is now making a major dent in my wallet! :mad: :lemon:

I've just been dealing with it until now, it's stuck down a tiny crack and I'm sick of listening to the wind whistle through it. Time to get it fixed.
It was suggested that it might be the connectors from the motor to the power supply, and I've been meaning to open the door up and clean them off and re-connect them, but since it's a back window I've never had enough iniative yet to do that.
thanks for your help
Thanks.
My low beam lights have no electrical current to the headlight or to the fuse. They just suddenly stopped working. Is there a relay somewhere that may need to be looked at? My husband isn't here to help. We are in two different cities right now. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks,
Why would the light stay on when the trunk is closed and how do I fix it?
I took it to my mechanic and he's stumped. It hasn't done this for him in the two days it's been at the shop and he said all connections look good. He recommended taking it to the dealership where maybe they've had more experience with something like this. He took a shot in the dark and guessed it might have something to do with the car's computer.
Has anyone every heard of this happening to a 2000 Grand Prix, or any car for that matter?
