    I changed my head light that was out but light is still on. Will it reset by its self or do I need to reset it?

  • @n7snu
    @n7snu 10 років тому +1

    Additional information. The lights are in daylight driving all of the time which accounts for why I have no tail lights or fog lights. Also, the 1 amp fuse for the instrument lights was blown, I put an new fuse in and it also blew after a few seconds. I replaced it again with a 15 amp fuse and it never blew. However, the lights still did not work.
    I am going to change the multifunction switch tomorrow.

    hello
    Joe
    i have this issue with my hazard flasher it is clicking noise continuously when driving
    but as soon as i use my turn signal it will stop and work normal and as i turn off the signal it goes back to the clicking noise again, i did clean the turn signal switch about 3 months ago, i turn it on today to turn left it started to smoke could this be the issue of the problem and Not my BCM - body control module this unit is costly $ 400.00 Canadian.i installed a Brand new 4 way Hazard switch today.

    • @JoeTheAutoGuy
      @JoeTheAutoGuy  9 років тому

      Newfie Led Man most likley its a shorted multi function switch its really the only thing that can cause it, bcm failures are more normally a full signal inoperative thing.most times cleaning it is not enough it just has to much material taken off the contacts and wiggles to much

    Yea, I had this light come on and spent a couple of hours chasing DTCs for the engine and chasing what I thought might had been a misfire...
    Then I realized it said "vehicle" instead of engine, so I started chasing body codes, then I saw this video and punched my computer screen... well, not really punched, just a tad bit angry because I too have a headlight out...
    So pissed... Thanks GM for ur BS....

    Hey Joe, I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand AM and had a diagnostic ran on it because it was losing power and cutting off on me. The diagnostic showed it needed a tune up, coil pack housing, bosch oygen senor. I got the first two but did not do the oxygen sensor. The car is still cutting off and when I press the gas it kinda jumps into gear. What could be wrong?

    • @omarG19100
      @omarG19100 10 років тому

      mabee the car is stalling out. If the coil packs are bad. you might not be getting the correct amount of spark to keep the engine running. if o2 sensor is at fault then it mabe carb up with deposits and the sensor is not sending the correct amount of air fow/fuel mixture info to the cpu to keep the car running the way it post to.

    • @omarG19100
      @omarG19100 10 років тому

      check the connections at the coils to make sure they not loose. heck even disconnect them to see if any white powder corrosion is on it which will also cause bad connections.

    • @JoeTheAutoGuy
      @JoeTheAutoGuy  10 років тому

      The things listed are ideas as to why , fuel pressure regulators are pretty bad as well for these issues , the jumping into gear could just be a cause of all the performance issues causing a really low idle

ETS light stays on and oil light to. leaks no oil and has plenty in it.

      +opal adams a diag of the a charging system is needed , check battery connections for corrosion and the alternator main connection for power is actually a fusible link near the starter solenoid so if there is any issues with low voltage and starting issues i would definitely check connections at the starter ( disclaimer be safe and disconnect batter negative terminal of you battery before handling any wires that connect to battery to avoid arcing and potential damage to your vehicle )
