I read a message about checking the ground wire from the alt to the frame. I was unable to find this wire, but did locate the ground wire from the battery. I took this off and cleaned it, but am still having the electrical blinking problem.
Should I have the alt replaced?
thanks

2001 Intrigue Sunroof Non Functioning by texican940

I have a well maintained Intrigue with an issue - I opened the sunroof and its staying open. I suspected an electrical issue with the switch or relay. Relay was clean and all other windows on it functioned. Since it's done this before and no amount or angle of pushing on that button has made any difference in function I have been looking for other solutions.
 
Sometimes it will work fine. Sometimes it will not and this is a situation in which it is not.
 
Anyone know of a manual release to allow me to slide it shut? The motor appears to work, the track has not been a problem, and frankly the whole thing is getting frustrating and mystifying because certain combinations of switching on the electrical system have allowed me to do something about it in the past...however not this time, and I can't use that vehicle till it's fixed.
 
Now I know 2 other users on the forum had similar issues that involved pushing on it (which suggest a gear or track problem) and I know I can replace the motor on the sunroof (assuming I can figure out how to get into that area) so all is far from lost; however, like I said, there is a serious time issue involved and rain is not far off...
 
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Dashboard Lights Crazy by dieselissy

has anyone had their dashboard lights go crazy? I'm still fixing the lil kinks in my 01 intrigue with 160k miles on it. First getting a rumbling coming from front when car is in drive, then softens or disappears in park, then had some hit my driverside fender, and destroyed the clips and light just by barely touching the fender, and now 2 days ago, lights on dashboard seem to have gone berserk!!! before it was just a check engine light, now I have ses light, abs light, and traction light on. just out of the blue . I'll be checking for good grounds at the battery, but just don't know any more. any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
 
My Mom has a 1996 Cutlass - had the same problem... Check the PCM (powertrain control module) ground. Everything on the car is controlled by the PCM including the dash lights. My Mom's is located by the right fender and started acting-up after an accident - the dealer failed to tighten it during the repairs.
 
I don't know where the PCM is on the Intrigue, but the wacky lights problem sounds familiar!
 
Good Luck,
Randy

Teh SES, ABS and Trac on together normally means there is a problem with one of the wheel sensors. It's a common problem with the Intrigue.

4-Way/Cruise Switch by kplacer

Last week I used the 4-way flashers and managed to push the little red transparent lens on the switch into the switch body. I think I can probably fix it myself with some adhesive but it would be easier if I could remove the switch from the dash. Does anyone know how that switch pod attaches to the dash panel? Does it just pry out?

Have you checked the heavy red wire from the batt to the altenater with an ohmmeter.
 
It has a fusible link in it, probably near one end. It presence is where the wire diameter gets smaller and a bit of heatshink is visible
 
Did you know that your caps lock button is on. Not nice
