Thanks for the help. Unfortunatly when I disconnect the battery you cannot turn the key to the off position. Once the battery is hooked back up the key turns normally. If you come up with any other suggestions let me know. Steve

Also while im here,, my turnsignals quit working, and the weird thing is my flasher button on the dash above the radio, if you push it in and kinda hold it, the turnsignals work { the right one anyways } and it sounds kinda like a short or something when i push my flashers on, and no the flashers dont work either, but if i mess with the flashers the right turn signal will work sometimes !! Would a bad flasher do this or something else !! Thanks

I am having problems with my 2004 Pontiac Grand AM SE. When I hit the brakes the headlights dim and heater bogs down. I have had the battery and altenator replaced. What else could be the problem? My local Pontiac dealership is also unaware of what is going on. PLEASE help.

Turn Signal Problems... by lenamarie73

Hi All,
I have a 99 Grand Am with some turn signal issues. First of all when I press the brake the entire right tail light goes out and the turn signal indicator on the dash stays lit solid. When I signal right (while driving and not braking as on an interstate to change lanes) the turn signal indicator on dash blinks really fast and the lower left reverse light blinks also??? My mechanic replaced both tail light circuit boards and nothing, still happening. Now he wants to replace the entire turn signal switch. From what I've been reading on many boards is that it could be the flasher? I don't know, I'm frustrated and confused. I'm a single mom and I really can't afford all this "guessing" by my mechanic...someone help please!!

Yes I have a 2004 Grand Am and when I am on the brakes the headlights dim and the heater bogs down. As soon as I hit the accelerator it all comes back. I have had a brand new battery and altenator put in and I am still puzzled. My pontiac dealer also checked the grounds to make sure that it was all ground. PLEAS HELP!!!

I have had all the same exact problems as yourself since I purchased my 2004 Grand Am. I am now going to try replacing the both relays in the car as now my lights are intermitantly going on and off. Major safety hazard. The dealer has checked this car numerous times and never found anything causing this. If this fixes my problem I will gladly let you know. I won't have the relay until Wednesday. Seems to me that if you are having the same exact symptoms there is another underlying cause of this problem. If you don't mind me asking what state did you purchase your car????? I purchased mine in southwest florida.
