    Okay I found two more problems with this car that I just bought. For those who haven't seen my first thread it is a 2001 GTP.

    1. The heater control only works on high. I bought a new control panel and that did not fix it.

    2. The washer fluid isn't working. I pull the lever and the wipers go but no fluid.

    Boooooo!

    Check fuses or its the pump for the washer fluid.

    And as said above, the Blower Motor Resistor needs to be replaced.

    On the washer pump. You aren't my neighbor kid who refuses to read her owners manual. On your year, the pump is operated by PUSHING the part of the turn signal stalk that has a picture of a window being sprayed. Might also say wash.

    Meaning..it's not the one that says mist. Mist means, clear a light mist off the window with the wipers only. No fluid.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
