Any help would be greatly appreciated,
We lost my dad in January of this yr, my mom is 76 yrs old. She's up and going and active, but on a VERY limited income. I promised my dad on his death bed it was OK to go, I wld take care of her. I know nothing about cars, just that mechanics will take advantage of us not knowing what's wrong. We don't have the finances for an expensive fix.
PLEASE HELP!!
I had changed the battery 3 months ago from autozone, and asked them to check, and they told battery as well as self/starter is good. So I am thinking that there may be some switch in transmission that tells car if it is parked and ready to start, and if that switch is not properly engaged, then car does not start. Not sure though but shifting car into Neutral at least caused the car to start.
symptoms: flickering head lights, flickering dash, flickering ABS light, Flickering check engine light, stalling, poor gas mileage, poor take off, poor battery life, battery dead in the morning, radio flickering and poping and crackling sounds..
an o4 crystler pasifica i had the over heds on and was taking it apart a little bit i was trying to take apart the center councel and i put the key in and on and pressed the brake to so i could shift it i had the ( parking brake ) aplied so it wont role and then the lights started dimming and blinking and the dash bord went crazy and just started beeping kinda and i aint ben able to get it started yet and i dont think the battery went ded that quickly and o please help
I was given an '04 AWD Pacifica last month, and knew that I would have to have some repairs done to keep it on the road. The possible showstopper is the lack of key-on check engine light - an automatic emissions test failure here in SE Wisconsin. I already have $1200 into this car, and the potential expense of diagnosing/repairing the light has me wondering if I should dump the vehicle before it costs me more than I am willing to commit. The vehicle passed a state of Georgia emissions test in March, and my daughter-in-law had been driving it until she left it with us in November. I did find a new, never installed o2 sensor in the rear under-deck compartment. I just wonder if anyone has had a problem where only the check-engine light doesn't work. All the other warning lights light up at key-on. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.

I have a 06 Pacifica and the other day the passenger side locks and windows stopped working. Upon arriving home and walking around the car i smelt burnt wires. I do not have the money to replace the BCM at the moment and also cannot go without the car. I am trying to figure out how to go about cutting all power to those systems on that side of the car. I know they are controlled through the BCM but not sure if i disconnect those wires from it if that will correct the short or if i have a constant power supply wire i need to locate as well. please help me.
I had a problem with my dashboard completely lit up all the time and after 7 months of mechanics and the run around, I found a local old book mechanic that replaced my abs module as a whole unit instead of having to buy separate parts at a huge price tag. Instead of $1200, I only had to pay $350 for a used one that my mechanic took to be recoded with my vin # at the GM dealership. Also, I found out GM won't do anything about Pacifica's electrical problems until enough owners put their problem on www.carcomplaints.com Their representative says no recalls are issued until the problem becomes large enough to grab their attention...then fixes will be issued. So everyone write your complaints there and lets solve the problem once and for all!
Here is what I need help with: the other day I came out of work to find four wires hanging from the bottom of the car. Was able to start and dive the car home about 12 miles. Seemed to drive fine, but have not driven it since. I cannot figure out what this is. Do not want to drive it or take it to a repair shop without knowing more about the issue? Can anyone give ne an idea of what this might be?
I'm having the same issues. Did you get the the answers you were looking for? Can you help me? Please email me shudson3018@gmail.com
I saw your question in the other thread. I will repeat my response here for you.
In the Pacifica, is the shift lever assembly still illuminated? Or the rear seat blower booster switch or the traction control switches? The schematic for the lamps in Mitchell doesn't actually reveal where the power source is, but the instrument cluster is the dominant module on the circuit. The three assemblies that I mentioned take power from the common lamp driver splice that connects all of the interior lighted assemblies and it passes through their illumination lamps and goes directly to ground, so if they light up then the power supply is intact. Every other module that lights up uses the serial data bus to command the intensity of the lamps that are powered from that same power supply. So if those first three do light up, then a scan tool will be required to test further. By chance do the radio, heater control, door switches etc. all light up and respond to the dimmer input?
