Blower stopped working on my

It could be a fuse. Fuses under the back seat.
Chances are that it's the blower itself. Pretty typical for our generation of Bonneville. I have a 2005 GXP and replaced the blower at about 75,000 miles. I can't remember the car before that I had to replace a blower... maybe 20 years ago?

Anyway, the blower is under the passenger dash.
Remove the panel under the passenger side dash; I recall two small screws.
There may be a couple wires to unplug from this panel.
The blower motor is located right above the passenger toes.
Unplug the three wire plug.
Remove a small rubber hose. It has one right angle bend. It's about the size and length of a big thumb.
Remove 3 small screws on the fan, and the fan comes out.

I have a 2003 pontiac bonneville 3.8...not turbo...I'm looking for the blower resister....where is it located?

cab heater blower dead on all speeds, ???? high speed never uses a resistor block, high is full 12vdc to the blower (fast max) fuse 37 and fuse2 not blow or wrong size or blower is dead. the blower is 2 pin 1DC motor, and can be hot wire tested easy in place to see if it is bad. fails this simple test, the controller is not bad. BINGO this car. most modern cars have no such resistor block at all the BCM and CCM climate control module modulates the fan ending blown up resistors forever , (glory on high) did you check fuse first and scan the PCM next/ oops? your car came new with 2 HVAC types full auto and manual controls, so I will now answer for both. Neither has a resistor block, it has blower motor control processor 6 wires. (end block hunts) I will read your SM manaul to you now ok both work the same for blower, now where is it. B for blower, 1 for here it is, the controller processor the manual tells all steps to reach here.

2003 Pontiac Bonneville speedometer, fog light switch, turn signal and A/C stopped working?

For strangeness like that you need a good local auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. It sounds like a BCM (body control module) communication issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

How do i fix my passenger window in a 2003 pontiac bonneville

Get a can of silicone spray - usually available at Walmart or auto parts store - and using the tube inserted into the nozzle spray a little down each of the window guides. Run the window all the way down and spray a little more. Then try to run the window up and down. It should eventually be able to close all the way.

I have a 2003 bonneville. tried to start car nothing, no click or anything. put in new starter/selinoid, battery, ignition switch. Checked all fusses which were good.

If it were a anti-theft problem the engine would crank over and start for a couple seconds then die ! PCM - engine computer disables fuel injectors , not the starter like ford PATS systems . You need to know how the starter system works before you can repair them . And replacing parts isn't the way to do it . You people on here must have money to burn . Make parts stores rich .The ignition switch is a input to the BCM - body control module or body control system , made up of Three different modules . The body control system consists of the following 3 modules: • The dash integration module (DIM) • The instrument panel integration module (IPM) • The rear integration module (RIM) Each of the 3 body control modules integrate a number of functional systems under the control of a single module. Each of the modules are connected to the Class 2 serial data line; many control signals are implemented by Class 2 messages. The DIM is wired to the class 2 serial data line. The various DIM input and output circuits are described in the corresponding functional areas as indicated on the DIM electrical schematics. The DIM functions include the following: • Control of headlights and exterior lamps • Horn relay control • Interior lamps incandescent dimming • Lamps On signal with wiper/washer • Power moding control over Class 2 serial data line • Steering wheel controls • Storage of the clock settings and, sending a message out on the class 2 serial data circuit in response to requests from other modules Serial Data Power Mode On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the DIM. The PMM receives 4 signals from the ignition switch. To determine the correct power mode the PMM uses the following circuits: • Accessory voltage • Ignition 1 voltage • Ignition 3 voltage • Off/Run/Crank voltage Your best bet is to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has the tool and the factory service repair manual .

Shifts hard after driving a while

I am assuming you have high mileage and it is probably starting to wear out and will need a rebuild soon. You can take it to any auto parts store to get a computer reading and see if a transmission code got thrown up to the computer. Occasionally a relay will go bad in the transmission but if you're around 200,000 +/- 50K then you are in the possible realm of rebuild. Especially if you didn't flush your transmission fluid every 75k miles. You can use a siphon pump and pump out a quart of oil and put a quart of Lucas transmission oil to buy you some time and smooth out that hard shift a little bit(This is assuming its not completely shot yet). I had a chevy truck that had the 4l60e transmission, I could tell it shifted a little rough but couldn't do a flush because I could tell there was too much fiber in the fluid and the transmission would go if I flushed it. I put Lucas in it then at 170k, smoothed out the hard shifting significantly and I finally rebuilt the transmission at 230k. Its not a miracle in a bottle but if you catch the issue early, it can give you some extra mileage out of it like my extra 50K.

03 bonneville interior lights are staying on wont go off. what could be the problem?

The problem is caused by either a defective door ajar switch or the interior light relay. it can be any of the four switches, so the best thing to do is have the BCM scanned to see which switch is the issue. The switch is attached to the door latch inside the door.
