• 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.

    Body Control Module going bad?

    2005 GP GT. A few months ago, the door locks did something wonky like not allowing to lock with remote or even manually with the door lock button. Started the car, turned it off, tried the locks again then they worked and stayed locked. Has done that a couple times over the past few months...

    Question on Pioneer FH-X700BT install

    My son wants a Pioneer FH-X700BT for Christmas for his 2005 GP GT. He says it will fit and work with the steering wheel controls. Are there special dash adapters or wiring harnesses to make this an easy install?

    Is the intake gasket a problem on 2004 & newer 3800?

    OnStar Antenna leaking???

    I have a 05 GP GT and when we have a torrential rain and the car is sitting in it, water leaks into the overhead map lights near the windshield. Anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking it might be the OnStar antenna leaking which is right above the map lights.

    My wife's 05 GP GT has an intermittent anti-lock brake issue going on. You know what it sounds like when it is icy out and you come to a stop sign and the pedal goes to the floor and it makes that noise as the pedal is going to the floor?

    Is the intake gasket a problem on 2004 & newer 3800?

    My neighbor told me my wife's 2005 GP 3.8L (naturally aspirated) will most likely need an intake gasket at some point since the factory intake gaskets are kinda junky. He said anywhere from 80k miles on up they start having issues. My wife's has 132k. Is what my neighbor saying have any truth...

    Horn not working.

    I have a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with a horn not working. The fuse under the hood looks good and I hear the relay click when the horn is pushed on the steering wheel. Is it possible the horn itself could be bad? Is the relay supposed to click? Does anyone know where the horn is on these...
