My 07 Pontiac Grand Prix base has my dashboard, radio, door lock, and headlight turned off and on while driving, unexpected. What is causing it?
HL off driving but engine did not staled?not told driving day or night or if day and using DRL , sun light sensor mode, if only that fails. but manual HL turned on fails highs and low beams.gen/battery/charge lamp in cluster, glows is alternator dead. and soon to be battery discharged to the point BCM and other computers in the car die.(just go mad or offline) on this car the body brain BCM runs 2 relays and 4 fuse to make HL work. so if battery voltage drops to far the BCM fails for lack of 10vdc power (up to 15v)not told you if high and low beams fail and park lamps too, 4 lamps park or more)if car had DRL option (daylight running lamps) that too is BCM operated, so it fails too.check battery voltage running, see13v to 15vdc is correct running,not less.1-CHECK FUSES2- TEST THE ALTERNATOR;3- SCAN THE CAR. OBD2 scan port, WARNING SOME NEWER CARS THE NEWER SMARTER ALTERNATORGOES OFF LINE (BY ITS OWN ACTS) IF IT SEES A VERY BAD BATTERY THERE. (MISSING, OR 1 CELL OPEN) OR SHORTED CELLS, THERE ARE 6 CELLS TO FAIL,THIS IS ACT IS TO END BATTERY EXPLOSION.if alternator is dead or even intermittently, the next engine start fails ( it will not crank or too slow to start)check all fusecheck battery voltage running 13v to 15vload test battery (al tool) or get it tested,charge the battery if too low.(a tool)batteries can to fail intermittently lose battery lugs (4 ends ,2 cables) or just rustyand lots more, possible.a feature of this car, alternator dies ,it auto shuts down many things.BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE (warning displayed) all this is in your glove box guide, and free of cost to get.This message displays when the system detectsthat the battery voltage is dropping beyond areasonable level. The battery saver system startsreducing certain features of the vehicle which you may be able to notice. so... via DIC dislplay, pick battery choice and if fails battery or alternator are bad.
