mine did the exact same.. dealership replaced the whole cluster as they said it was bad... ijs

I loved my GXP.. Best car i have owned!!! Even though mine ended up with electrical issues i would recommend it!!!

Hey guys, im still going to hang out around the site..... My mom has a 99 Bonneville and besides who knows if i will pick up another GXP. There is a local used car lot near me that is selling a 2005 Black bonneville GXP... :( Anyway, Thanks guys for the replies!! I ended up Trading GXP in on the ...

Well, since sept 2013 My bonneville has been having some major electrical issues. It's been to the dealership and even they couldn't find out whats going on with it. They said none of the computers in the car is not talking to each other!! In short, i drove the car to work everything worked great ...

Gotta buy a new overflow tank... That sucks just for a sensor!! Oh well, If i come across a good deal for one ill grab it and hold on to it till i really need it!! Thanks for the info

As far as chipping goes, i used the 1500 degree FORD or CHEVY RED paint can from Autozone and painted my calibers on my Intrepid and put atleast 2 coats on each caliber and let dry and applied the same 1500 degree clear can and never had issues with discoloring or chipping!! 3 years later still ...

Yea me and my buddy did mine and the rear really wasn't that bad.... We did find that the gasket on that AIR Flange thingy was not put on correctly and was causing air to escape b/c the area around it was black.... We cleaned it off and after the plugs was installed we put the gasket back in place ...

Not sure of the exact sound but could be your serpentine belt or maybe even the water pump itself.... And if so YouTube is your best friend!! I have already found someone replacing the water pump on a 4.6 northstar!!

Yea mine has been doing that since about 90K.. has 118K on it now!! Once restarted it has went up to 3-4 months before it does it again and this car is now a daily driver. So Unless it gets worse im not going to worry about it..

It really didn't matter to me bc I'm tired of cleaning my headlights every month lol! And I'm going to get some standard headlights and if its that much of a difference and I can't deal with it ill just pop em in the oven and swap lens!

Mine has done this 2 times within 1 years time... The 2nd time was 2 days ago, so i pulled into the local auto parts store and bought a gallon jug of coolant, but the level was decent and wasn't low at all!! But i did pour a little in so i wouldn't feel like i just wasted my time and $13.00 lol But ...

Is it shifting hard, even on light acceleration?!?
And does it shift hard when slowing down in the gears also?

If so, that could be a transmission line pressure issue.
Stop the car, shut it off, wait a few seconds, then start & go again.
If the sympton is gone, go have someone read the codes & see ...

SO how do you know it's the control box? Mine is doing the same thing, well the button does light up for 2-3 secs and then it does off!! he pass side is fine!! But like you i never really used the driver side to be honest!!

Looks really nice to be spray painted!!

Ordered HID fogs and lows from DDM Tuning, around $80 for both and shipping. 10 days later and they have finally arrived! Will install tonight or tomorrow and post pics!

Sweet!!!! What color temp did you get? I have 6000K for my headlights and fogs!! IMO This best thing you could have ever done ...

Im not a HID "PRO" so i don't know all of the ends and out of this type of lighting! But what i do know is about the glare and such if you don't have a projector... BUT i will say that i bought two 6000k kits off ebay for $37 each to install into my fogs and headlights.. I adjusted the headlights ...

Got any pics of them and how much you want for 1?

:hail:

Whew! I think I'll start with step 10!

Thanks for all the info. Very much appreciated.


lol I know mine is shot also and just reading that!! Yea i too will just be doing the #10 a couple of times and the next day dropping it off at the shop to have them replace it!!

Nice write up BTW ...

wow your the sand/polish king!!! Can't wait to see it pics of it running again!!

the build sheet for my GXP says it was made in 2004 and i just replaced the battery last friday 6/15/12 but it should have been replaced last year... for some strange reason my MPG is up by 2-3 mpg on the highway!!!! Any reason for this after the new battery installed?
