2001 Monte Carlo SS 3.8
Park, Tail, Marker Lamps, and License
The park, tail and marker lamps, including the license lamps, turn on when the headlamp switch is placed in either the PARK or the HEAD position, or anytime the headlamps are requested. The RT I/P #1 fuse in the RH I/P fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park lamp relay switch contacts and to the park lamp relay coil circuit. The park lamp relay coil is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position, the BCM energizes the park lamp relay coil control circuit.
Current flows from the park lamp relay switch to both front and rear park lamp fuses and to their respective park/tail lamps. The front park lamps are grounded at G101. The rear park lamps are grounded at G302. The license plate lamps are a part of the rear park lamp circuit and are grounded at G302. The inadvertent power control feature prevents the park lamps from remaining on more than 10 minutes if left on. If the park lamps are turned on after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, or is in the ACCY position, they will remain on until turned off or until the battery runs dead.
Did you the REAR PARK LP fuse 15 amp in the right insturment panel fuse box.
My 2003 monte carlo is having problems starting
Ignition switch maybe ? Do you know how to do automotive electrical testing with a volt meter ? Pull the covers off the steering column to get at ignition switch electrical connector , then look at a wiring diagram to see which wires should have B+ voltage in the on - run position ! See if the B+ voltage drops out or just isn't there . You can find free wiring diagrams here
http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model and engine . Under system click electrical distribution ,then under subsystem click on power distribution .Click the search button then the blue link . scroll down the diagrams till you see any that show the ignition switch . Check all the wires that should have B+ power in the run position . I know GM has had ignition switch issues .
The starting of the vehicle is computer controlled ,when you turn the key to start ,this sends B+ voltage to the PCM - engine computer which will then energize the starter relay ,thier by cranking the engine .
My 2001 Monte Carlo with
it sounds like the fan speed switch is a bad relay pack usually the lower speeds will run throw the relay pack and high bypasses it. I am not sure about your other problems but I would start by looking at the switch in the door could be a problem there.
2001 monte Carlo, Ihave 12 volts coming into the
The componet is Radio Antenna Module . There is B+ voltage going in on the drak green wire . One of the wire's connect's to the rear window defogger grid , this should have B+ voltage . One of the other wires is the Ant. in the window glass . The last one goes to the radio . Look's like inside the module is a resistor , not a rheostat ! Can't think why there would drop the voltage from 12 to 5 going to the defroster heater grid . What are you trying to diagnose ? Window defroster not working good ?
I have a 2001 Chevy
I am not 100 percent on this because I am not a radio guy but each radio from GM has a code number input to the computer or sirrus radio (thief protection)so they can turn it on remotely and the ecm is not recognizing the new radio. If you have a scanner read the codes or reset them. You maybe able to change the code with a scanner I am just not sure. Hope this helps some.
2001 Monte Carlo has about 168,000 miles on it.
Some of these issues are unrelated. One thing to look at is the condition of the turn signal switch and the ignition switch. The low coolant light has a TSB from Chevy on the issue and it says to check and clean the sensor. The sensor is on the radiator and has to be removed. The sensor can become contaminated with engine oil, check for oil in the coolant if that is present then you need to find the source of the oil and correct the problem. This problem could be serious like a head gasket issue. That would explain the loss of power and the smell.
