#218 of 221 1997 Grand Am GT all dashboard lights on? by tcwinter Jul 05, 2009 (2:26 pm)
Last week, while I was driving my 1997 Grand Am GT, I looked down for a second. When I looked back up, a number of my dashboard alert lights were on, including low fuel, low coolant, low oil, ABS off, and check engine. My gas gauge still read 3/4 full, and my temperature gauge was right in the middle, not overheating. The car continued to drive fine. When I got home, I turned it off, checked the oil and the coolant, then turned it back on. At that point, the lights were all on and my fuel and temperature gauges weren't registering anything.   We have checked the fuses, and they're all fine. Any ideas? I'd so appreciate the help!
#219 of 221 Tail Lights will not go off by nate_g Jul 08, 2009 (7:37 pm)
99 Grancd Am tail lights will not go off all of the sudden. I unhooked the battery and hooked it back up for unrelated reason and now the tail lights stay on after car is turned off and causing the battery to go dead unless battery is unhooked. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: gt96 (Jul 09, 2009 8:05 am)

Replying to: nate_g (Jul 08, 2009 7:37 pm) I had my 96 grand am gt electrically analyzed (cost $95.00) at a goodyear advanced auto center because my running lights and tail lights will not turn off when I turn off the car and I have to disconnect the battery. They told me I need a new multifunction switch. The total cost with labor will be about $385.00.
#221 of 221 Broken Driver's Power Seat Height Adjuster by screwedbygm Sep 12, 2009 (10:26 pm)
The 99 thru 04 series employs a worm expanding strut driven by a nylon gear at one end that is powered by a small Fasco electric motor. Most any other manufacturer but Government Motors would make both the strut and motor available as individual service replacement parts. With GM, however, you must pay over $330 for a complete replacement seat frame with motor and strut included. It's outright gouging and it's ridiculous! The nylon gear at the end of the strut either cracks or suffers tooth shearing, whether from age deterioration of the nylon material or overuse/abuse of the power system, much like Ford power windows. Replacing the strut assembly with nylon gear seems the practical solution but GM does not provide that option. It's either live with whatever height the seat is at when the gear cracks or shears, or shell out the $330 plus labor for the sake of a 50-cent piece of nylon attached to a ten dollar worm strut! There are tens of thousands of Grand Ams with broken driver's seats desperately seeking an affordable height adjustment fix. Does anybody know of any aftermarket source for a replacement strut with nylon gear assembly?
