#332 of 363 Re: Key stuck in ignition & Car won't start [bjdill] by aztekguy Oct 09, 2009 (3:32 pm)
Replying to: bjdill (Jul 01, 2009 10:04 am) I have 2 2001 Pontiac Azteks. The first one did this EXACT same thing. The engine would cut out, the gauges would "die" but car would stay running, the gauges would work, but the engine would die. Couldn't get the key out etc....   I took it to an auto electric repair shop (it's all they do) and they diagnosed it as either the BCM or the ignition switch. A BCM (from a dealer) will cost $300 or more. The electric place charged me $120 to replace the switch. That was at 126,000 miles, it now has 202,000 miles on it, and no problems.   My second Aztek had the "flashing lights" syndrome. Engine runs fine, but the dash lights, radio and head/tail lights would flash and the dash would look like it does when you just started it. Replaced ignition switch (from Autozone). Cured the problem for 3 days, then had to replace with one from dealer. No problems so far.   Take it to a dealer or reputable repair facility and have them diagnose it. I would bet it's the switch.

#335 of 363 Power Window Switch Question by toady0000 Oct 17, 2009 (3:30 pm)
Hello. I have a 2002 Aztek...the passenger window is acting up. I can put it down and it will not work going back up. The driver side can control its functions with no problems. I popped the passenger switch panel off and looked at the wires and switch itself. I pop the switch off, and replugged it in. The Window is now working just fine....but whenever I snap the cover back into place....the up switch stops working again....why? I make sure everything was secure before putting the cover back on....happens each time..... Replies to this message: mdrfeelgoode (Oct 18, 2009 5:33 am) toady0000 (Oct 18, 2009 6:44 pm)

Replying to: amy72855 (Oct 17, 2009 8:11 pm) It could be a faulty sensor or a serious issue....i suggests a dealership....but they may charge you for it....I guess better safe than sorry if theres something wrong with the airbags... Replies to this message: amy72855 (Oct 17, 2009 8:46 pm)

Replying to: amy72855 (Oct 17, 2009 8:11 pm) For the anti-lock brake light it may be a wheel sensor, but many times it is and issue with wiring to the sensor that is culprit. I believe you may have to go to GM dealer for scan to determine exactly which wheel it may be complaing about. For the airbag light there may be an issue with connector under seat (loose/corroded) Replies to this message: amy72855 (Oct 18, 2009 7:29 pm) ray80 (Oct 19, 2009 4:57 am)
