Replying to: miiso11 (May 07, 2008 4:38 am) I also have a 97 camaro with the same problem. The low beams do not work at all. I looked for a fuse but there isn't one in the engine compartment or the dash fuse boxes. I called the local Chevrolet dealer and they don't seem to know either. If you find out let me know.

hi i have a '99 camaro and whenever im driving down the road my radio and power windows will suddenly turn off. sometimes it will come on within a few minutes, other times it wont come back for days. if i run over speed bumps or large pot holes and it shakes the car it does the same thing. also, my heater quit working so i replaced the radiator and it still isnt working so great. any suggestions?

Replying to: ashleigh2 (Jul 22, 2008 8:41 pm) as far as your heater goes, is there a wet spot in the carpet on the passenger side front floor board (were you put your feet) ? if so you need a heater core and if not does your blower work or maybe you have a faulty heater valve. my advise is if you've never replaced a heater core seek help it will save a lot of frustration. as too your radio and power windows you have a bad connection some where ,start at the switch and work your way back. my 91's switches are in the center concle between the seats and after some time a litle dirt and grease will find there way into the switches followed buy a splash of dr. pepper and drops of hot sauce, and run a current threw it any things possible.
#20 of 25 Remote Key by fjean Feb 13, 2009 (4:07 pm)
My remote key entry no longer works. It is not the battery in the remote key. Other electrical items works OK. Is there a fuse for this or where is the remote receiver?

Replying to: bigpainford (May 23, 2007 4:53 pm) sounds like previous owner change rear end fluid but did not add friction modifier for the posi. what your feeling is the clutches slipping to equal out wheel speed. drain & fill the fluid and add a bottle of friction modifier equa-torque is one brand

Replying to: ashleigh2 (Jul 22, 2008 8:41 pm) I have the same problem. I've been told there's a relay under the dash, but no one has showed me where it is. Mine is so sensitive now that when the radio is on, just trying to roll down the drivers window will kill the windows and the radio. If I pound on the dash right over the radio, it will come back on. Does anybody know where and what needs fixed or replaced????

#25 of 25 Camaro shutting off while driving, and not restarting. (97 RS 3.8) by jdobvon Nov 26, 2009 (9:57 am)
Start of day. Engine starts and runs fine. Drive 5 minutes to school. 1 hour later, try to start car. Cranks and cranks. Will not turn over. (Lights: key-in-ignition-position: all lights turn off but check guages remains on. Low trac light comes on. When car is going to start [I noted this too]: key-in-ignition position: (same: all lights turn off but check guages. Car starts: Check guages and engine light go off. [(!) and (P) go with low trac). If I sit there and turn it, it might start in 2 minutes. It might not start for 30 minutes. It will crank and crank. I go and wait 30 or 40 minutes. Come back. Starts just fine. It might make it home. Sometimes it does. Sometimes: I drive to the intersection and it dies at the red light. It will not restart. Push it off the road. Try to start it. No. Wait 40 minutes, come back. Starts, drives home fine. But when I am going to park it, 3-pointing, it stalls out again. I sense it is stalling out. I give it some gass. It seems to cough a bit, like it's sort of fighting stalling, but dies. The next day it will start again. Bit dangerous when it stalls coasting on the road or highway though.   If anyone has experienced this. Please let me know. I took it to the shop, but they diagnosed me with a dead battery (after initially telling me their batt/alternator test My battery and alternator were good.) Then that I had a drain of 7Amps to my stereo when the car is off, which was their final diagnosis, though I told them the car does not run out of juice overnight.   Battery: I have done tests on power with a voltmeter, seems within specs there. Could a parasitic drain do this? Without draining the battery dry overnight?   Fuel: Can hear the pump, also there is a squirt-tester under the hood. Always has lots of spray. Even when car is just cranking and not starting.   As for fuel and air, I don't know really how to test these, or if they could cause this sort of problem.   What could cause an intermittent stall and intermittent not-start, seemingly based on nothing but time. It seems unlikely it is a overheating issue, because 30 minutes and not starting in Penticton makes the engine pretty cool already. And sometiems it restarts after driving a long distance in summer just fine. Also, sometime if I just turn it, then turn it, then turn it, it suddenly starts. But not usually.   It does not seem to die when it has gas on it. Basically when my foot is off the gas.   Thanks.
