#4286 of 4430 Re: 1999 Grand Prix Climate Control [hammen2] by entourage Dec 01, 2005 (7:08 am)
Replying to: hammen2 (Nov 25, 2005 12:17 pm) I have a 1998 with almost the same issue. About 3 weeks back, I had the heat control on mid-low setting and started the car. I started smelling a terrible burning/hot smell. I noticed I couldn't hear the fan spinning anymore. Previous to that, I'd heard the squeak/squeal' in the fan intermittently. Now I can only use the heater control on the max setting.   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) I don't have a Grand Prix anymore, but if I recall correctly the resistor board is a pretty easy swap - it's right under the glovebox, under the passenger-side dash. The part should between $18-$25. I would imagine any decent Pontiac parts department (not that many around - good luck) would have the part.   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 Replies to this message: entourage (Dec 02, 2005 10:51 am) 99grandprixma (Oct 09, 2006 8:06 pm)

Replying to: entourage (Dec 01, 2005 7:08 am) I had a similar problem on my 2000 cougar, my independent mechanic said the max blower operates on a differnet fuse from the lower level blowers therefore if the fuse breaks on the basic fan motor the max blower will continue to operate. I do not remember the cost of repair but I think it was only around $25. The mechanic guessed the problem as soon as I gave him the symptoms.

Replying to: hammen2 (Dec 01, 2005 12:03 pm) Thanks for the reply. I will contact my Pontiac dealer about the part. 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.

Replying to: lovegto (Dec 02, 2005 6:50 am) So it sounds like there are 2 blowers...a low level and a max.   Am I correct?   Thanks again for the help!
#4291 of 4430 2000 Grand Prix Fuse Issue... by bbpontiac29 Dec 09, 2005 (10:39 am)
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 Replies to this message: rayainsw (Dec 09, 2005 10:51 am)

Replying to: stnel (Jun 03, 2001 10:31 am) I am having the same problem. It is hard to describe, but it is like you feel a thud when you turn the steering wheel.

#4295 of 4430 Power Steering Issues '94 grand prix by kevinshorter Dec 20, 2005 (6:03 pm)
I have a '94 pontiac Grand Prix. I had the power steering pump replaced 3 years ago. With in the last couple of month my car as drank power steering fluid. It's leaking all over the ground. It doesn't make any kind of powersteering noise but it's leaking all over... Does anyone have any ideas what it could be.
