#191 of 200 Re: Remote start not functioning [sgr5516] by desmondluo Jun 10, 2009 (9:10 pm)
Replying to: sgr5516 (Jun 02, 2009 5:56 pm) I met the same problem of remote start recently. The keyless entry on the keyfob is working but the remote start does not work. No parking light flash, no response at all when I push the button for 3 seconds, maybe tiny sound from the hood area (need further identify tomorrow). One thing I need to mention is that, my check engine light is on recently when I turn the key into stage 'II', which is before ignition, after I turn the key and start the engine, the light will be off. I am not sure if this is the reason.

Replying to: drej (Jun 03, 2009 10:17 am) I had the socket replaced back in 04 under warranty and that solved my problem....also.....check to insure your contacts are good....I have found they work loose and need cleaning every now and then.......   you can get the socket at parts.....and its apparently easy to replace
#194 of 200 intermittent blower fan on/off by hhmax Jun 25, 2009 (5:00 am)
the first hot day of summer and my blower fan stopped working in the middle of blowing. I kept the fan on ON position and it would all of a sudden come alive again. During the drive, it would be blowing for a while then stop.   Took the car to the dealer and they said it was a open circuit resistor on the blower fan. While waiting for the parts, the fan has been working fine.   Any ideas? Why an open circuit resistor would cause the fan to be intermittently come and go?

Replying to: hhmax (Jun 25, 2009 5:00 am) I don't have the manual, but making a guess it sounds like the connection to the resistor is bad (intermittent mechanical connection at the switch or resistor end or else a poor solder connection). If the resistor burned open it would not come back and suddenly work again. Replies to this message: hhmax (Jun 26, 2009 7:41 am) hhmax (Jun 27, 2009 7:27 pm) comem47 (Jun 28, 2009 7:50 am)

Replying to: comem47 (Jun 25, 2009 1:12 pm) thanks. I had doubts also that the resistor was open. But the dealer changed the resistor (C$218 parts + C$58 labor). nonethless. It's under GMPP with zero deductible so I didn't complain.   I once had the driver power seat not moving and it is fine when I brought it to the dealer. It's been fine ever since.

Replying to: comem47 (Jun 25, 2009 1:12 pm) do you know where is the blower fan located? which connectors should I check. The dealer changed the resistor but didn't fix the problems. Replies to this message: comem47 (Jun 28, 2009 7:50 am)

Replying to: hhmax (Jun 27, 2009 7:27 pm) Sorry,   As I mentioned previously I do not have the manual. Perhaps someone else can help, but since you're under warranty I'd have the dealer make good on his work (tell him to be sure to wiggle ALL the wiring and connections this time while checking the operation of the fan)

Replying to: maxxliberty (Jun 02, 2009 10:25 pm) Remote no-start problem solved – special thanks to sqr5516 and comen47.   First I went to Autozone for a free scan – no codes were reported. From the comments on this forum the next best guess was the hood latch/switch. It may be a common problem since the dealer had the part in stock. I Installed the new assembly and now remote start functioning again.   To save some cash maybe should have just jumped the wires that sqr5516 mentioned and not gotten new part.
#200 of 200 Outside temperature display by alsteck1 Aug 06, 2009 (4:56 am)
The outside temperature display on my "06 Maxx often gets "stuck" reading the same temp for hours even after the outside temp has changed by as much as 20 degrees. I know that this is normal to some extent. A couple of years ago I called my local dealer to ask about this and the guy on the other end explained that the display could be reset manually by holding down one button on the dash while pressing another button. Problem is, I can remember which buttons and a call back to the same dealer brought the following reaction: duh! Does anybody know the details to this little trick?
