| I have a 1998 gmc sonoma and i have the option to override the dome lights in my truck but my dome lights will not turn on or work period. When the door is opened or when I turn the switch to turn them on, they do not work...What could be the problem? I have checked the fuse and it is completely fine for the inside lights but other than that I am at a complete loss. I also am wondering why my 4 wheel drive light that indicates whether my truck is in normal or 4x4 is also not functioning. Anyone able to help?? It is much appreciated!!! | |
| 2002 GMC Sonoma. No foglamps installed. Good taillight bulbs. New headlight switch. Voltage at taillight connector. Ran a jumper wire from battery to taillight and it would not light. Grounded with no change. All other lights work fine except license plate lights. Fuses have all been checked. Relays are fine. Finally have installed my own taillights on the rear bumper, but I'd like to fix the original ones. Anyone have any ideas? | |

| I have a 93 sonoma with the 4.3L and 4WD. recently I have been having some electrical issues. A few days ago I was driving and the engine just died. I let it sit for a few moments and it would start back up. The next morning i needed a jump to get it going. So i thought it was the alternator, took it in and had it tested 3 times. Passed all 3. The guy at the autoparts store said to check all the grounds, which i did, and even replaced the negative batery cable. now the voltage will fluctuate from about 10 to 16 volts. To make the issue more confusing, 1st gear on the transmision has never worked like it is supposed to. but now... when the voltage is high like it should be, the transmission shifts smoothly and 1st gear has all the horsepower you would expect. but as im driving the voltage will drop and bye bye 1st. Any ideas on what i can do to fix the electrical?? | |
| I have just recently purchased this truck that had a motor swap with another 2.2 liter and after the swap they didnt strap the positive cable down and it burnt up , they replaced the wire and it ran fine drove it for a week and then it died now the truck turns over fine just wont start , so i replaced the fuel pump and still nothing ,so then i hooked my snap-on scanner to it no codes but i noticed on battery voltage with the key on only reads 5.0 volts and theres 12.0 at the battery i checked the grounds but maybe im missing something any suggestions? | |
When the cab is warmed up the meter is fine, I had alternator replaced 2 times, new battery, Check cables at battery and on starter.While cold and rev eng,lights go dim then meter drops I am going insane with this problem. I am wondering if the instrument cluster is bad since cold contracts and warm expands, Maybe volt meter gauge itself , maybe the starter? Any suggestions would be appreicated. One person told me a ground problem. If a ground problem wouldn't it do it all the time? Thanks in advance

My 2.2 S-10 started having issues starting, at first I took the starter out and since it was o.e.m with150000miles. replaced with brand new (not rebuilt). Still had the same problem so I traced all the wiring where it went, tested the relay by swapping with headlight relay, and everything looks good. Took the plastic cover off pos. terminal and cleaned all corrosion off. Yet I'm still having the same problem. The starter kicks the bendix out when I turn the key and just spins, it wont turn the engine over. I have been informed by Napa that there isn't a shim pack for this model year. does anyone have any ideas.
