Replying to: chele5 (Nov 27, 2005 5:47 pm) BTW your fan problem is common... a "resistor board" under the dash is the culprit, and I doubt the dealership did anything. If it easily starts, I'd take it in, but if it is hard-starting or high-idling, I'd call them and make them come pick it up (presuming your problems started on the way home from the dealership). Is the Check Engine light on? --Robert

Replying to: hammen2 (Nov 27, 2005 8:10 pm) The check engine light isn't on. I drove it to the dealership this morning (only a mile away) and dropped it off. They aren't in today - but they'll have it first thing tomorrow. This morning the car started right up but as soon as I touched the brake to shift it to drive - it would stall. Started it in neutral, then shifted and drove off. When I would have to use the brake, the idle would start acting up and it was if the car was trying to jerk forward. Stop lights weren't a fun experience. The dealership wouldn't have done anything intentional do you think? I've used them for years and and found them to be good to work with. But I did have another dealership change the oil in my old van (or say they did) and "forget" to change the oil filter. So I guess anything is possible. Thanks again for your response. This will help me to resolve this with the dealership. Chele5 |

| Though the summer Potenza's on The Pontiac Gran Prix GXP are were allegedly formulated to handle snow I would like to change over to a dedicated winter tire. Can I get away with just replacing the front tires? Can I safely replace a 255/45-18 with a 235/45-18. Any input would be greatly appreciated. | |

| After someone took a car, bike, or baseball bat to my passenger side-view mirror, I was lucky enough to find one on ebay for a quarter of the price it would cost me from the Pontiac dealer. However, the dealership won't provide the labor to put on a mirror that they didn't get from the factory. How hard would it be to install it myself? Does anyone know how to do this on a 2003 Grand Prix? I'm a grad student so I'm thrifty, but fairly capable and can follow directions. Help please! | |

Replying to: hammen2 (Nov 25, 2005 12:17 pm) I don't know if it's just the blower motor that's dead, but maybe also the control board you spoke of. Any ideas? And how tough is it to get the dash apart to replace such a part. Thanks in advance! |

Replying to: entourage (Dec 01, 2005 7:08 am) Since this board is the problem 90+% of the time the blower motor doesn't work on all speeds, but does on some, I'd suggest swapping it first, then troubleshooting further only if it does NOT fix the problem. --Robert

Replying to: hammen2 (Dec 01, 2005 12:03 pm) Would that resistor board going bad cause that horrendous smell? I was able to switch the fan control to level 4 (5 is MAX) and it would squeal like crazy. I was only able to do that once or twice almost immediately after the 'smell'. Now, nothing. |

Hi, I just got a used 2000 grand prix, and the dealer did nto give me a manual for the car, When my cigg lighters went out I assumed fuse, after looking under the hood in the fusebox there are no indications for cigg lighter(s). The dealer is supposed to be mailing the manual out to me and I dont have the $$ to buy a new manual. Can anyone help with what fuse # it is for the lighter or is there another fuse box i am unaware of. Thanks in advance BigBlackPontiac29
