1995 Pontiac Grand Prix Exterior lighting Problems

“The 4 way flasher switch does not work on my 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix. My 2001 chevy blazer was recalled for the same issue. When the switch is depressed, the hazard lights do not work, then prevents the turn indicators from working.”

“Exterior lighting/tail lights - there is moisture build-up and heavy condensation in both tail lights, again . I've already had the tail light assembly replaced twice on both sides, and have to pay for it again. The cost for just one (1) tail light assembly is in excess of $250.00. Although there is a service bulletin for this same problem which many, many people have experienced on this make and model car, there's no recall. There's definitely a safety issue with this problem during the daytime because it causes poor visibility for other drivers on the road who can't see my brake lights. …”

“The problem with the ABS: usually occurs within the first mile driven after start up. When the brake is applied, the pedal goes way soft and car lurches forward. A mechanical sound is heard and the ABS light then comes on. I am unsure if the ABS works or not after that, but the light is on. I have not taken it to the dealer as I can not afford to have it looked at at this time. This happens regardless of road conditions (wet, dry, ice, etc.) the cruise control problem has rendered it useless. It will hold a speed, but will not accelerate when switch is depressed. …”

“The contact stated the windshield wipers work intermittently. The windshield wipers, headlights dimmer switch, and the turn signal are all controlled from the same control arm. In order for the windshield wipers to work all of the above functions have to be performed. Once the windshield wipers start working they only work for a short period of time. There is NHTSA recall # 97v017000 regarding the windshield wiper washer, switch and wiring. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated o6/05/2006.”

“The hazard/turn signal works intermintently. This also affects the radio controls on the stering wheel. If you play with the flasher button until the flasher starts working ( and they have always worked after a few minutes of pushing the button up and down) the other controls start to work again. This happens often. You may use the turn signal now and a block down the road they may not work or it may go a month or so and work just fine.”
