I was driving to work one morning back in early july and went to turn on my a/c to keep me a little cool on the highway. As SOON as i turned it on the fan come on and stayed on. Even if i turned the knob for the speed control to off it would still stay on as well as when i turned the car off and took the key out it stayed on as well. Now i'm not a mechanic by any means, but i do understand the basics of how cars work. I'm pretty sure its an electrical problem but not sure where to look. Its not the switches (for the speed, temp, and vent selection) because once you disconnect them it still stays on. I've checked ALL the fuses and relays and they're all good still. The only way to get the fan to turn off is to disconnect it behind the dashboard where the climate control switch is also plugged in. But because of this i cannot use the a/c, heat, and rear defroster. Not having a/c is ok, but when it starts to get colder out, especially in jersey, its not going to be fun with no heat.
please let me know of any suggestions on the problem as i'm sure a mechanic would have field day with this! thank you!
Thanks,
Glen
Thanks for any help!!
(BTW, if anyone wants to buy that 1992 3000GT, contact me and I'll let my sister know. It's a cherry.)
My handle notwithstanding, I am currently driving an '02 Chevy Malibu (urp) due to the Great Recession. My current budget doesn't really include replacing it but this is too good not to give it serious consideration.
I don't have the details yet - don't know mileage or repair history or options, for example, but his parents take care of their things, so I have no reason to believe the car is hurt. I certainly don't think it's been wrecked.
Can anyone think of a reason NOT to grab this car? CarMax is asking $12k for their '05s. I don't care so much that Pontiac is now a dead brand, in fact I rather relish the idea of driving something like that. I'm not hard on a car and do expect to be able to return to driving more expensive cars someday - my '05 MB E320 CDI spoiled me forever.
I'll drive this until maybe I can afford the new Taurus SHO, at any rate - then happily drive my GP in the Old Farts parade in another 25 years.
Your input greatly appreciated!

Thx!
Thanks,
I live in MN and as the weather warms up sometimes it goes off and when it's cold outside it comes back on.
I repalced with OEM gas cap from GM dealership and light still comes on, I went to Auto Zone and their code checker just comes up with large vacuum leak. Anyone have any ideas for me?
This should solve your problem
I have the same problem with my 1997 and I can not even find where the sensor is located, can you please tell me where the sensor can be found/
Thanks
picture would be great....
Does anyone know the brake line diameter size? I believe there are two different sizes depending on which line needs replacing.
Thank you!
Unfortenatly, I noticed inside the trunk that the quarter inch wide machine weld facing the fender surrounding the bearing plate where the strut bolts to was cracked (or split) 70% of the way through.
Most likely due to the stress reflected back to it from driving it about 3 miles on city roads.
Does anyone know if this impacts the structural integrity or is inconsequential? What is the best way to fix it?
Thank you. :sick:
I am having a couple of issues with my 2004 Grand Prix. I've had the car for approx. 5 years now, and never really any problems, but went over 140K miles, so I know the sounds of my car and know when somethings wrong.
I was driving home the other day and gave the car some gas to go when the car infront of me abruptly stopped to allow a car turn, to which I had to slam the breaks. But the car "semi-stalled & hiccup'd" from the gas I just gave it and then slamming on the breaks.
Anyways, after that and pulling out onto the highway I could hear what sounded like a small grind coming from the drivers side front tire area. Very faint, but I could hear it, and then the car proceeded to "semi stall" a couple of more times when I would come to a stop at lights. I immediately took it to my garage for diagnosis. To which they couldn't find anything wrong other than some breaks, bearing, and sway bars that needed replacing. Thanks a lot!
So problem is still there. The only real change is the "semi stall" isnt there anymore. I hear it when I drive, and it really picks up when I am parked on an incline, like in my garage. Small downhill grade for water to move down. But once I park my car you can really hear this "grind".
Also, there is some sort of water build up below the windshield and dash....anyone know how I can drain this water. Ive seen some posts about what I think is the problem, but haven't read a way to drain it.
Any thoughts on both??
Thanks
