Replying to: gfraser (Nov 20, 2007 7:41 am) Changing the ignition switch was the answer to problems with my 99 GLS. Replies to this message: gfraser (Nov 22, 2007 5:11 pm)

#128 of 185 Re: Brights come on when car is cold [mick1] by carson3 Dec 11, 2007 (7:17 pm)
Replying to: mick1 (Nov 08, 2005 5:02 am) I have a 1999 Intrigue that the brights come on and stay on when it is dark outside and the temperature is below 60 degrees. If I hold the turn signal down slightly, it will go off the brights but it is not fun driving or safe for that matter. An intermittent stalk switch short was mentioned in #8 but not sure what the fix is. When I took it to the mechanic, it wasn't dark or cold - go figure! Also my brake light never goes off.
#129 of 185 blinkers signals 01 gls by rosscm Dec 17, 2007 (4:45 pm)
I drove through some wet slushy conditions last night and the signals stopped working for a bit on both sides. Is there an area along the wire route where I could or should do some water proofing? Is this going to happen alot? I put 185000 miles on my 98 regal and never had an electrical problem.
#130 of 185 Service Engine Soon Light by michaelzick74 Dec 19, 2007 (5:51 pm)
I've had this light come up for many reasons. It's happened since it had about 40K miles and still now at 155K. Biggest concern was replacing the crankshaft position sensor, which actually was causing a hard-stall (hard knock when driving / stall). I did that around 100K. Going forward, I know there are other OBD SES related faults that aren't really that critical.   Is it common for people to drive the Intrigue permanently with the SES coming on every so often? I noticed the fuel type and altitude affect the sensor and my gut tells me the whole GM OBD is just too touchy to work correctly. I really just want to know if there is a safety issue with this SES or if it's just a nuisance light. I know the crankshaft position sensor is safety because it kills the engine.   Thanks.

Replying to: michaelzick74 (Dec 19, 2007 5:51 pm) You should really get the SES light checked. Most auto part stores will read the SES codes for FREE and reset it for you. Get the codes read and post on here. There are a bunch of us that can tell you how serious the codes are.   While your car may be running fine, I bet your gas mileage i suffering.

Replying to: michaelzick74 (Dec 19, 2007 5:51 pm) Does anyone experience a surge in your electrical equipment on your Intrigue? I had my alternator checked and it was found to be ok. Please help!!!

Replying to: dtownfb (Jan 02, 2008 8:47 pm) My Headlights blink or go dim, the dash lights do this and the fan on the air/ heater blower weakens. The entire electrical system seems to go dim or fade. Thanks so much! Replies to this message: msprenger1 (Jan 03, 2008 11:43 am)
