I hope someone can help me. I have a 2000 grand prix and yesterday my abs light came on as did my trac off light. I took it to a repair shop and they used a scan tool and it came up with no codes. The mechanic took it for a drive and did a 4 wheel abs test and it worked fine(the light wasn't on at this time) Now when I start the car the lights are off but after after a few minutes I feel a quick grind in the petal and the lights come back on. Please help me...

When that happened to my 99 it was related to the front bearings and the abs sensors. I ended up going through multiple front bearings and sensors until I got a good set. According to my garage they were bad aftermarket parts. Fortunately guaranteed and the garage did the work for nothing after the initial installation. Good luck!

I really dont know but if it were me Id disconnect the battery for 5 minutes to drain the computer memory and let the computer do a reboot and erase any cliches it might have to do weird things. Just a thought and its cost nothing but resetting your radio stations.

I have a 2000 grand prix too and today I had the same problem with the abs/trac lights coming on. After driving a while, I checked the rotors to see if they were hot. One was very hot and turns out I have a brake caliber that is freezing up which causes the abs light to come on. The abs light would not come on until the rotor got hot enough.

Same problem with my 2001 GT, ended up being the ABS sensors. The grinding will continue to get worse until they are replaced. The ABS still works fine, just the sensors were bad. Mine were replaced under warranty, but I think the dealer said it was around a $200.00 job.

I just signed up to this, so that is why i am emailing late. I have a 2000 GTP and mine did the same thing. I ended up replacing the left front hub bearing twice, so far it is ok, but the traction control unit is bad so the trac off light and abs light stays on constantly. I was getting ready to fix it but the engine caught on fire, still waiting to hear from the ins. co. on a cause.

My 2002 Grand Prix seems to be running fine but all of a sudden all of my brake lights, both above and below, died at once.

My lights stopped working a few months ago, but the blinkers stopped also. The mechanic told me some moisture got into the stering collum where the blinker switch is and corroded the conections. He cleaned them and havent had the problem since.

Brake light failure all 3; I replaced bulbs in both the tail lights(braking lights) and the "3rd" light on back top shelf. Back top shelf now works but the tail lights still do not. WHY ? I have all my running & night lights and turn signals. I noticed a "mrbill3" message dated 10/7/05 with the same problem. I'm new to this forum and would like to know what he did to finally get it fixed ? How did he/you do it ? Thanks for the help
