2000-2002 Pontiac Sunfire: Check engine light on due to fan system not working

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 15:00:10 -0700

The radiator cooling fan is not working properly. I have bypassed its own system installed a aftermarket relay to have the fan working at all times. But now the check engine light is on with a code that translates to cooling fans system not working properly. Where can I find an accurate schematic or plan of diagnosis to have this fixed the right way?

1995-1999 Pontiac Sunfire: Replaced flash relay. Daytime lights no longer work.

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 19:34:14 -0700

Hello.

For a while I've had issues with the day time running lights and hazard/signal lights not working properly. When the car warmed up internally I had better performance (the relay was warming up? It's down by the brake pedal). The day time running lights would work once warmed up as well and the signal lights would work more consistently, not always. The high beam does not seem to be connected to this so I used high beam until the car warmed up for the day time lights.

I replaced the relay today with a well known to be quality third party part. The signal and hazards now work wonderfully. The day time lights still do not work properly. Maybe they're separate issues I'm having thoughts of. They will if I hold or tap the signal lever slightly back (I know it's the day time turning on as the passenger side high beam bulb needs replacing). Going to see if they do as they normally would when the car warms up with the new relay. Any ideas?

Update: I put the original flasher relay back in and headlights still have issue. They work fine when the car warms up a bit. Turns out the issues are separate. So the signal/hazards are fixed with the new relay. The day time running lights issues is not. I'm not experienced in electrical circuits.

Kind regards

My blower motor is not blowing air for the AC or heat. The 30 amp fuse in the fuse box under the hood “blows” the fuse every time I turn the blower switch on.

What is the metal cylinder shaped item that the other end of the hose i's hooked up to called?

2000-2002 Pontiac Sunfire: Why did my back speakers on my 2001 Pontiac Sunfire stop working?

Fri, 20 Jan 2017 17:13:21 -0700

The back speakers in my 2001 Sunfire have never worked right. Originally they would cut-out on rare occasion. Several years ago they stopped working all together.

They have never hissed or crackled, so I am thinking maybe a short, but I have never worked on this kind of system.

Everything is the orignal part.

Any suggestions on where to start?
