I will look in the morning. To my experience either they work of they don't so when I am looking at fuses and relays, I am not sure what to look for. Today, I went to manually change the fan speeds and the DIC went black, reset, and then came back on again so it is something that affect the circuit with the heater blower, DIC (no other dash lights or anything), and during the day when this happens I clicks the relay for the auto sensing daylamp feature.
 
Also now today I thing I have some kind of sensor going bad in my shifter counsel. Often I cannot get my key out when I park my car. However, if I play with my shifter until I hear a little click in the dash (relay) I can then turn the key back and release it.
 
Not happy for a car that I baby and has only 60k on it for a 2003.

I have a 99 Grand Prix SE 3.1L and I have been having an issue with my lights dimming(all lights, dash lights, headlights, taillights, interior lights) and my blower motor for heat slows down when im at idle, but as soon as I give it gas or start to drive, the lights brighten back up like they should be and the blower motor blows hard again like it should. Any ideas on how to fix this? FYI, I have replaced my Alternator, Battery, and Serpentine belt so far and it still hasn't fix the issue. Also all my Fuses seem ok. This car does not have HUD or any fancy features like that, its the basic SE model but does have power windows, locks, power driver seat, etc. Any help would be appreciated, Im at a lost at this point and so tired of putting money into this car.

It could be two things.
 
Check the relay and also check the heated seat element (it is the metal mat located inside of the seat that heats up).

#226 of 226 No Headlights by 2collies

May 07, 2013 (3:40 pm)

Eight months to the day after my headlights went out for the first time it has happened again. Last time I changed the Headlight Relay in the engine compartment fuse box and didn't have a problem for 8 months. This morning no headlights again. Everything else works and no matter if the switch is on auto or on, the headlights don't work. The brights work and everything else too. I changed the relay again, didn't work. I took the new relay back to the store and they gave me another one, still didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks again,
Mike
