#1 of 136 Pontiac Sunfire: Where is the horn by chrisbe Jan 20, 2006 (8:47 pm)
Hi,   My horn does not work anymore. The fuse & the relay are OK, but I cannot locate the horn? Where is it?   Chrisbe Replies to this message: 95pontiac1 (Sep 10, 2006 8:58 am) g_paquette (Oct 09, 2007 9:56 pm) casey60 (Jan 22, 2008 10:01 am)

#4 of 136 2000 Sunfire Flasher Location by ellentim Jul 12, 2006 (7:38 am)
I've read several requests but I haven't found the definitive answer! My turn signals flash sporadically. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't! (much like the rest of my 2000 Sunfire). The fuse was fine. I bought a new flasher, but I don't see the old one! I've changed flashers in older cars, but this is ridiculous! All I see on the driver's side panel is about 500 wires. (Might be the alarm system, not sure) Thanks! -Tim
#5 of 136 95 Sunfire turn signal problems by smalls13_99 Jul 18, 2006 (9:34 am)
Here is my situation. I have a 95 Sunfire and the turn signals no longer work. This first started last year when the turn signals wouldn’t flash (they would go on). I changed the flasher and then they started flashing erratically and then went out all together. I did a little digging and found that the alarm had been installed and hooked up to the signal wires. I took out the alarm (wasn’t working anyway) and the signals worked again (the signal click was a lot quieter than it had been). Now a year later, they are out all together again. Checked the fuses, checked the flasher. Anyone with any ideas of what it could be? This may or may not be related…..The left tail light keeps burning out and the stereo sometimes wont work. This has been happening since it was installed (after the first signal problem).Can all this be related or is my car just a heap?

Replying to: smalls13_99 (Jul 18, 2006 9:34 am) We have a 98 Sunfire and for the about a year or so, we were having problems with both tail lights burning out. After looking into the problem, I noticed that the light socket was burning the metal wires on the end of the light bulbs. The solution, I went to a Pontiac Dealer and bought two replacement light sockets, cost under $10, and haven't had a problem since.
#8 of 136 no electrical power 99 pontiac sunfire by ponsunfie Jul 17, 2006 (1:25 pm)
I own a 1999 pontiac sunfire. One day I was driving and the radio died. A few minutes later all the power died. It was still running. I drove straight home, turned off the car and tried to restart it. It went click click click and wouldn't start. A few hours later i tried again and it started and turned it off. I just let it sit.   The next day I started it and it just went dead. No power and nothing. Shoud I dig a grave or repair it lol. A mechanic friend said the relay might have overheated. I don't know.   I ain't got much cash so I was wondering if it is the relay, battery or whatever. Thanks! Replies to this message: tbird_s_y (Jul 23, 2006 8:47 pm)

Replying to: ponsunfie (Jul 17, 2006 1:25 pm) Probably no help now, but I bet it was the alternator. Mine went at around 110k miles on my 95 Sunfire. My blinkers started flashing slower than usual and then my check engine light came on and my lights dimmed - turned out to be the alternator (I have the 4 door sedan, and my blinkers are REALLY slow, but they have always been that way and passed inspection). My battery is still going strong though. The only other repairs I have had to make were new brakes and pads at 100k miles, and new cv joints/front axle around the same time I got the alternator replaced.
#10 of 136 98 sunfire turn signal ground wire out (?) by ajhamilt Aug 07, 2006 (10:58 am)
Both of my turn signals went out and I replaced the bulbs to both. The left works but the right does not. I was told by a mechanic at CarX that it was my ground wire (?) and referred me to an auto electric mechanic. Has anyone ever heard of this problem and how much does it cost to fix?
