| I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.1L. I prev dealt with that annoying water leaking in thru the pass side issue, I corrected it but now I have an issue with my rear speakers. It seems that they are off, whenever i park my car in the sun and it gets hot inside, the speakers work fine but as soon as it cools inside they shut off. Originally I thought it was the stock stereo because it sometimes didnt show the clock when i turned it on (happen once in a while) but after I Replaced the stereo the speakers still act the same way. I never dealt with audio issues before and not sure how to trouble shoot it. Any Ideas,or has anyone had this issue before? | |

My high beams work fine, just the low beams are out, anyone have this issue? the fuses for the lowbeams are ok, so are the high beams. they both have 2 fuses, left and right lamps.Is there a different one or a micros relay or something?

well, I took it to the local auto parts stores, that was like talking to a McDonald's drive thru person, then I talked to a mechanic who also offered no good results, so I eventually talked to the local Pontiac dealer. We removed the fuses for the low-beams and swapped it for another fuse of the same amps...did not fix it either. THen the next day, they started working miraculously. So I really don't know what fixed them, they just work now. I fully expect them to go off every time I drive at night. I suggest swapping fuses out. See if it helps. No real clue here.

| It is caused by a short in the fuse box. My mechanic had to bypass the fuse box to get the lights to work, or I had the option of replacing the fuse box for $400. | |

This problem started last weekend. When I turn off my 2006 grand prix the lights stay on and the message center displays "parking lights on" i also found out the other day that when I put the key into the Accessory position the lights come on also. Message center displays same thing. The lights will eventually go off, after 5 mins or so. Any ideas. thank you this is my first post. |
