Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Low Oil Level light on dash

    I've been getting a "Low Oil Level" light on the dash of my 2001 GP GT. It isn't low on oil. I has my mechanic replace the oil level sensor on the side of the oil pan and do an oil change. I'm still getting a "Low Oil Level" light. Some times it goes out, but usually it's on when I'm driving...

    I'm having my 01' Grand Prix GT repainted. Is there a way to remove the "Grand Prix GT" logos from the sides, and rear of the car without damaging them, so they can be re-used after respraying the car?

    2001 GP cup holder. . . which way do those springs attach???

    Can anyone pull their center console top off and photograph which way those freaking little springs attach the cup holder to the console top? THESE buggers: I've nearly finished restoring the interior of my 2001 GPGT, and I just need to know which way to install these blasted springs...

    Exactly where do those little cupholder springs attach?

    These things. I'm restoring my wife's 2001 GP GT and I have the springs, I have the cupholder, but I can't figure out exactly how they attach. Anyone, anything. . .photo, diagram, anything. Help.

    What is this thing, and what does it plug into?

    I pulled the dashboard out of my 2001 Grand Prix GT so I could refinish it, as the color had faded in the middle, and it had a couple cracks that needed fixing. Pulling the dash wasn't easy, but I followed the guide that others made, and got it out and refinished it. Now I've put it back in...

    Stupid back seat center armrest keeps flopping down! HELP!

    This may be the dumbest problem of all time. In our 2001 GP GT, the back seat center armrest/cupholder thing doesn't stay put in the upright position, so if I come to a hard stop, it comes flying open, and is kind of surprising and terrifying when it happens and I'm not expecting it. How do...

    Tell me if you've heard this one before: Water in passenger footwell!

    So it's been raining here, and my 2001 GT has water in the passenger floor footwell. Ordinarily, I'd pull off the hood cowling and get one of those plastic shields for $14 on Amazon and install that. . . . . . except I DID THAT THIS SUMMER. So I don't expect the water to be coming from there...

    Plans to upgrade 2001 GT with Bose, but keep stock head unit.

    While refurbishing the door trim panels on my new/old 2001 Grand Prix GT (see new/old post in Intro/Noob forum), I decided to replace the Bose door speakers with some Infinity speakers, and a pair of component Boston Acoustics tweeters leftover from the custom system in my old (now gone/totaled)...

    Horrible screeching noise from engine: with the belt OFF. Is my engine toast?

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37073121/2016-11-11%2021.24.59.mp4 Noise starts out after the car warms up, after driving 15 to 20 minutes, or just letting the engine run while in Park. It sounds like it's coming from everywhere, but here's what we've done to rule out various things: -Belt...

    My new (old) 2001 Grand Prix GT

    This is my 2001 Grand Prix GT. I bought it for my wife in 2003, then we sold it to a neighbor in 2010. Just recently the neighbor decided to get a newer vehicle, as the Grand Prix needed some work to get past California's emissions test, and she offered it back to me. I accepted, and started...

    Steering wheel buttons: rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle!

    The buttons on my 2001 GP GT steering wheel that operate the radio rattle as I drive over bumpy roads. They're cheap plastic and they're kind of loose in their positions and they rattle around. If I tap on the steering wheel they rattle rattle rattle. It's insanely annoying. (It took me a...

    One door lock does not respond to key fob.

    Any idea what causes ONE door lock to no longer respond to the key fob? The driver's side rear door on my 2001 GP GT just does nothing in respone to the key fob, neither locking nor unlocking. It can of course, be operated manually. Is there a typical way these things fail? Anything I should...

    I got quoted ~$900 to replace the lower motor & trans mount for my GP.

    My local shop guy diagnosed a horrible vibration under load as needing new lower motor mounts. BS things he told me: -There are seven mounts total. -The "side mounts" are the ones that are really bad. -The torque strut mounts are fine, but the parts I need would cost $290. -Labor would be...

    Exactly how many engine & transmission mounts are there?

    I'm preparing to replace my 2001 GP GT's engine and transmission mounts. How many mounts are there? I'm aware of: -The dog bones (P/N 2866) (Mine are fine, so not planning to replace these.) -The dog bone brackets (P/N 5309). (Mine are fine, so not planning to replace these.) -The weird...

    What stock swaybars are a bolt-on upgrade to `01 GP GT?

    My local Pick-N-Pull has plenty of Chevy Impalas and Monte Carlos, Buick Regals and Centurys, and other Grand Prixs. I'm trying to find out what cars have compatible sway bars (either front or back) that are an improvement to the stock sways on a 2001 Grand Prix GT?
