#1 of 221 dash gauges not working; warning lights on by minako Jul 09, 2006 (2:34 pm)
I own a 1997 pontiac grand am. all the gauges stopped working at once and my low coolant and check oil warning lights won't go off. I was told it wasn't the fuses, and don't have a clue what it could be. please help Replies to this message: dr_zoidberg (Jul 09, 2006 2:57 pm) minako (May 05, 2007 3:39 pm) sissysnyman (Nov 12, 2006 5:56 pm)

#4 of 221 ground wire getting hot by jason31 Aug 26, 2006 (7:32 pm)
I need some help I have a 1997 grand am when I turn the key I get nothing from the starter but then the ground wire going to the chassis get real hot. What can I do to correct this. Replies to this message: kmajors (Sep 04, 2006 11:23 am) jason31 (Sep 05, 2006 3:07 pm)

Replying to: jason31 (Aug 26, 2006 7:32 pm) You have a short somewhere between the ignition switch and the starter. If the ground wire only gets hot when you turn the key start there and trace the wire back to the starter. Replies to this message: jason31 (Sep 05, 2006 3:07 pm)

#8 of 221 PASSLOCK by wsragan Sep 13, 2006 (9:09 am)
The Passlock security system on my 2000 Grand Am went out several months ago and I spent about $400 having a locksmith replace the key set (tumblers). It looks like the same system is going out again and I am not looking forward to having this part replaced annually. Has anyone experienced the same problem? I have checked with Pontiac regarding service advisories. Replies to this message: burdawg (Sep 13, 2006 11:38 am)

Replying to: wsragan (Sep 13, 2006 9:09 am) I don't see how replacing the tumblers has anything to do with the passlock - usually the Hall-Effect sensor on the ignition switch is the problem and has to be replaced. When I had the 99 I had to have it done and the problem never occured again.
#10 of 221 Funky electrical problems. by trine16 Sep 20, 2006 (1:29 pm)
1st- Driver door refused to unlock even with key.... finely hooked lock thru window for access. Now doors do not lock when drive engaged. 2nd- Driving along and can hear flasher going nuts. Stopped car, no taillights blinking and turn signal not turned on. Then just stops. Replaced flasher still a problem. Very annoying. 3rd- Interior lights will not shut off ...ever. Had to remove 2 underdash light bulbs. Overhead also turned off. New battery, new alternator. No one can diagnose.... HELP Please.
