I have this same issue...bought my 2001 only two weeks ago...and the light comes on during the day and goes of around 4 pm every night! When I called the GM dealer they said they would have to look at it at a tune of $80 an hour. Did you have any luck figuring out what it was?? I am trying to save on costly repairs...since I have already put $800 in it in the last two weeks! And need to put at least $800 more come to find out...besides this problem. Ugh.

As per my suggestion to lostcause245, check of headlights found high beam was out (low power high beams are used for DRL's) and the reason it goes off as the day passes to night is regular headlights come on.

I have a 2003 Pontiac Aztek and I have an interior window fogging problem.I have been keeping the defrost on full blast all the time to the point where I am cooking - it doesn't help. The problem is severe - visibility is severely limited and we have to keep scraping the window on the inside as we drive. This never happened in the previous 5 winters, I live in Chicago. any ideas? the moisture I assume is not coming out of the air when it is being taken in by the climate control system. Is there a condenser that eliminates moisture when the system is on defrost? has anyone else had this problem? please feel free to email or post! this is urgent as the winter season has just begun!
thanks!

You might want to see if you heater core is leaking. If it is, it could be vapor from the anti-freeze leaking.
It's the only thing I can think of at this time.

shifter/key issues with an 02

greetings i am the not so proud owner of an 02 tec and i am currently experincing the following problems: after i have started the vehicle and depress the transmission selector button the trans doesnt like to shift from park without pressing the override switch on the side of the housing a new problem that has started occuring is that occasionly when i turn the vehicle off the key doesnt turn want to turn past the accesiories position. i originaly thought it was the neutral safety switch located on the top of the transaxle but after unplugging the pigtails from it the vehicle wouldnt even start and ive noticed a sound like a solenoid engauging coming from below the shifter. i have un plugged a wireharness pigtail that connects to the bottom of the shifter and after doing that i have noticed no change in the problem or performance of the vehicle and im wondering what this pigtail could go to. oh i forgot to mention this problem only occurs after ive taken my commute to work and im attempting to turn it off.

If it is not heater core leaking (should be able to smell coolant if it is) there is likely just to much moisture in cabin. Perhaps to much snow melt from footwear or maybe there is a leak somewhere (sunroof if equipped is possible). The A/C condensor should be on with either defrost or re-cycle or A/C on and you have have to run it that way (with one of them on) for a few days to dry things out.

The little gizmo with wires in shifter console are is the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock and could be where the trouble is. I believe it interfaces with shifter, brake pedal , and ignition. It may be bad or have connection problem.

Service Traction System warning lights coming on after tire change.

So I got a flat the other day so I pulled over to put the spare on. The flat was on the passenger front tire. I put the doughnut on and started driving toward home about a half mile away. Half way home the Service traction system lights came on. So I got home and rotated the spare to the back. After that I went to work. about a 1/4 mile after I get going the lights come on again. The process repeats every time I turn off the ignition. Turn on the car, drive a little ways and ding ding ding ding. The sound will not turn off unless I turn the car off and reset it system but it only stays off untill the traction light comes on again. What a PTA. Get a flat, traction system goes crazy. This car is really starting to test my patience.

The outside diameter of the spare is not the same as the other tires. The traction system senses the discrepancy, shuts itself off because it can't work properly, and illuminates the STS light to let you know it is operating the same as the many vehicles that don't have traction control (as well as letting you know something needs fixing)

YEah I figured that out. I just wish that there was a way to turn off the constantly buzzing alert. I don't get paid until friday.
