• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    A/C problem, light stays on, no cold air

    For some reason my car's A/C won't work. It was working fine when I last used it last fall. I checked the pressure, I got normal in feron so it's not from leak. The A/C button (manual HVAC, not auto with dual climate) seems to be stuck in the on mode, the yellow A/C light remains on no...

    Want to wire in dash cam, what 12v wire?

    Most dash cam has auto power on when power is applied and off when power is cut (switches to internal battery for a few seconds). The front dash cam is easy, use add a fuse option and pick something in the fuse panel that doesn't use RAP. But the rear cam doesn't have convenient access to fuse...

    How to find leaky A/C line?

    My A/C won't blow cold air. I checked the low pressure side was near zero so I recharged it to about 30. The next day it was back at zero so it seems I have leak but how do I find it? What are the most likely source of leak? 2005 GP, NA

    key fob reprogramming guide? 05 GP

    I tried Google and many guide mentions the fuse but they seems to only work for '04 and not for newer GP. I have 2 key fob both were dead when I got the car. I put in new batteries but it still didn't do anything and I think it may need to be reprogrammed. Or do I need to suck up to a...

    Broken 12v socket, how to remove?

    The 12v socket on the front of the center console seems dead, anything I plug there doesn't work. The other 12v inside the compartment works fine and since both are on the same circuit and same wire, I can assume either the socket has gone bad or the cable somehow came loose. I happened to have...

    HVAC doesn't work, need help

    2005 GP base, 3.8 NA, climate control is manual (no LCD) A while back my blower was blowing full nonstop, even when the car was off. I knew it was a common problem and I unplugged the blower to spare the battery. I also got a new rain deflector to go over the air intake so I won't need to...

    Any idea of a pinout for portable DVD player I got?

    I found a dual din DVD player with separate LCD for a few dollars at Goodwill but I have no idea what the power pinout is. It is Panasonic CN-SG0360ZC Anyone have an idea where to find the pinout so I could just wire up 12v and test it? It appears to be originally designed for overhead use so...

    My car (2005 GP, 3.8 NA) up and died at Walmart. No crank, all the light went out and nothing worked. The battery was already past it's prime (8 years old factory original) and when i went to get the tools from my trunk, I realized I have a major problem. Key FOB won't open trunk because...

    Dash cam video thread

    We need one to post your dash cam recording. Such as idiot driver, idiot people interfering with traffic, etc. It has to be your own video. I was doing 75 in a 70 MPH zone when someone zipped by me. Maybe Doc Brown testing his new time machine "lite" edition but still needs to hit 88? If...

    Hypothetical situation about car insurance

    Just wondering since I kept seeing ad on TV that a car insurance will replace your car with one that is 1 year newer and lower miles. What happens if your car was discontinued? Say I have a '08 GP and it was destroyed. Where would they get a '09 GP? Or can they be sued for false advertising if...

    Hood decal question

    I liked how the Trans Am had a huge image on the hood. I'd like to have something for my Grand Prix. But I doubt the classic Screaming Chicken image would go well, I might get lynched by a local Trans Am fans. So I was wondering is there anything I'd need to be aware? My idea would be the...

    cruise control problem- how to diagnose?

    I think I have a bad switch in the steering wheel but I need to check before I pay someone to take the wheel apart (I don't want to mess around next to air bags). The cruise sometimes set when I press it (shows on DIC), sometimes it sets then cancels right away like I pressed down and pulled...

    How many fuses is too many?

    I have a dash cam and with my previous car I just let the wire hang from the camera to the cigarette lighter. However with my GP the lighter socket is much further back in between the seat and not on the dash so I decided to do something about it. I was going to tuck the wire up under the roof...
