#79 of 88 Rear defroster & coolant problems. by sunnylady May 13, 2009 (12:56 am)
#80 of 88 Rear defroster & coolant problems. by sunnylady Feb 04, 2008 (10:43 pm)
I unforunately own a 99 Grand AM SE.I loved the car when I got it.Now I am begining to want to through it to the sharks.My rear defroster stopped working about two yrs ago.Bought a Chiltons manaul.It was useless,as it just showed me how to replace the lines.It said the fuse for it is fuse # 33.Well I looked and there is no fuse # 33.What went wrong?Also recent I had the hoses,therostate,& water pump replaced.Still it leaks coolant,but now I can't go five blocks without it overheating.When I turn if off,there is a huge puddle of anti-freeze on the ground.I was told its the intake manafold gasket near the firewall.I would like to know if this is really the problem before I spend another $ 600.00 to repair it,as I had to spend that much to replace the headgasket.This car has gone from my dreamcar to my nightmare car!When I can afford to I plan on buying another make of car,but not a Ford or a Ponitac.

Replying to: sunnylady (Feb 04, 2008 10:43 pm) Shop around. I've having the same thing happen to my car. I've had it fixed before and it cost $679.00 and know after a year later the leak is back. Getting a intake gasket fixed isn't a wear and tear type of issue. So I'm pissed that the leak is back and i just missed the opportunity to take it back. The gasket is only 20 bucks but the labor of taking the top part of your engine off is where the big $$$$ comes into play. Good luck Replies to this message: sunnylady (Dec 01, 2008 3:06 pm)

Replying to: DetroitJay313 (Dec 01, 2008 1:31 pm) I ended up having to replace the manifold gasket,as well as the headgasket again. The mechanic told me the price of the manifold gasket,also explained the the reason for the high price. It's been 10 months since that repair and now its leaking again!Once again it sits in my driveway until I can afford to get it fixed AGAIN. Only if I lived in San Diego county I would bring it to Baja California and make it very available for the theifs there to steal it,as they strip the cars then bring them to a remote area and burn them.Unfournately,I live in central Illinois. am not sure if you were aware of this recall on the 99 Grand Ams,but apparently there was one in the month of March of the year 2007.It was for the fuel system.I know I never got a notice about this.I just happen to find out by going on lemon cars.com.<

#84 of 88 Thermostat by flyboy269 Apr 29, 2009 (1:00 am)
Can anyone tell me where the thermostat is located on a 99 Grand Am? For some reason, water is leaking out as fast as I put it in, but I can't find a leak that severe. Bought a Haynes manual for this car and it gives only vague directions at changing the thermostat. I can't change what I can't locate. Can anyone give me some info?

Replying to: flyboy269 (Apr 29, 2009 1:00 am) It's in the housing where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine block. Why do you think the thermostat is the problem, and where is the visible leak at? If more coolant is disappearing than is visibly leaking out, then it could be leaking internally in the engine. Also check for wetness on the carpet below the heater core.

#88 of 88 heater control issue on 94 grand am GT by 94grandamgtfan Jun 21, 2009 (3:57 pm)
hello,   my 94 Pontiac grand am GT has an issue with the heater control.   problem is, no matter what i set the control to, air will flow through every vent; top, bottom, and defroster.   I already went ahead and replaced the heater control as I thought that was the problem, but it didn't resolve my problem.   I really wish to get this fix so that I can the A/C working again and also so my windows can defrost much better during the winter months.   I appreciate any help provided for this issue I'm having.
