#220 of 222 Re: Tail Lights will not go off [nate_g] by 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 222 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?

Replying to: tmiller07 (Sep 28, 2007 3:12 pm) I have the same damn problem. The turn signals work when they want to. They is no rhyme or reason for them to start working and stop working. It just does it when it wants to. When you find out the answer, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!   Yes, it's very dangerous and frustrating!
