Replying to: dtownfb (Oct 13, 2009 9:14 am) After replacing water pump there was no coolant leaking. But after running car, and then turned off, some dripping coolant from underneath car is happening near the back of engine. I would say probably a 1/3 to1/2 cup.. this happens after running it. thanks |

I have been having issues and have read that it could be caused by a faulty ignition switch. My turn signals work when they want and I have the ABS, Trac off, brake, and service engine lights on on my dash and they have been on since a little before I replaced my tie rod ends. I am not sure what is the cause but I also have issues with the air, my compressor and heat works just the blower seems to work when it wants to work. I need help. I am to the point that I want another car but I love the way this one rides and drives when it's now having problems. Also when I use the cruise control it doesn't stay engaged and usually cuts off after a few mins. I am baffled and am just waiting for it to catch fire with all the electrical issues. The gas hand floats a lot to. Sometimes it seems to work and most of the time it sits on empty or jumps to full. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi, I have a 99 Intrigue GX. I recently opened up the panels/trim around the gearshifter and the stereo/AC console, because I am going to be swapping out my stock radio/cassette stereo unit for a stock radio/cd/cassette unit from another Intrigue. Near the gearshifter, I noticed a set of wires, leading to a small harness/plug. There were 3 wires (white, brown, black). The wires originated near the dash and gearshifter in park, and the open-ended plug went towards the armrest console. Does anyone have any idea what that would be? I am guessing maybe an aux harness to then run wiring from that area towards the trunk, for a cd changer or something (I never had one in the car, though I am the 2nd owner--1st owner had the car for less than a year) If that is an aux harness for the radio, would it be possible to plu something into it, and then plug an ipod into that? Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated! I can't figure out how to post a pic from my computer, so I can email you a pic if you would be willing to take a look: Thanks! |

Replying to: jensolds00 (Nov 07, 2009 7:19 am) A faulty ignition switch can cause many weird things to happen including what you described. Are you having any other issues like hard starting, stalling, etc.? The air conditioning problem could be a loss of refrigerant. I'm basing this on your comment that the compressor is coming on and the blower is working. I would have a mechanic test the system and add refrigerant with the dye in it. The AC system is a closed system so you should never need to add refrigerant unless there is a leak. IF the problem is low refrigerant, you likely have a leak in the system. I had the same problem with the fuel gauge in my 2000 Intrigue. It floated for a while and finally only showed "full" or "empty". Interestingly, the bell would go off when the fuel was low. I never bothered to get it repaired and simply relied on the trip odometer. Based on my commute I would fill up when I reached 375 miles. If i did more city driving that tank, i would fill it up earlier. More highway, it could last to 425 miles. I actually made it to 450 miles. My car cutoff as I pulled into the station and I coasted to the pump. The fuel gauge is located on top of the fuel tank which can be accessed through the floor in the trunk on the driver side. Check prices at websites like Rockauto or GMpartsdirect.com Also get the car scanned for OBD codes. You could have other issues that tripped the check engine light. Good luck and let us know how things work out.
