2006 Pontiac Sunfire - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Time to rebuild Good luck mai

You have to start at the wheel you have the leak at and follow it back to the unit so that you make sure youre disconnecting the correct one

Radio shach has a solderless antenna plug(but it is a generic type).You will probably have to get this plug and a GM adapter.(GM is the ONLY AUTO MANUFACTURER that doesn't use an antenna plug like the rest.

2006 Pontiac does not have Stick to check the fluid level, you need to raise the car and there is a screw on transmission side on passenger side, open it while card running and in normal premature (not too cold). If fluid does not leak out you are low on and if it flushes a lot out you are too high on fluid.

It sounds like your electric radiator fan is not working. It may be the fan motor itself or the fan switch.

The contacts under the control buttons are sticking or are shorting. This happens if the window is left open during rainy days wetting the controls. You will need to remove the controls and check for rusted contacts.

your fuel filter is located up next to your gas tank very easy to see once you are up underneath the rear of the car.

Frost-Free Windshields
Vinegar will help keep windshields ice and frost free. When a car has to be left outside overnight in the winter, coat the windshields with a solution of 3 parts White Distilled Vinegar to 1 part water.A good tip for frost free windshields is believe it or not shaving cream.rub it in good and wipe off when starts to fog up reapply.You can also use the above tip with alcohol instead of vinegar I like the green kind best. In the summer I just use water with a splash of used blue print ammonia to prevent streaking and a squirt of dishwashing detergent
I believe if you open the drivers side door and open the fuse panel access door located on the dash you will see that there is usually a fuse in there for the washer pump


If the fuse is OK, the problem might be the pump, usually located in the bottom of the resevoir. They are notorious for dying. Replacements can be found at your local parts store

The radio will have to be removed from the dashboard.

Then post the radio make+model plus all the letters+numbers on any labels,barcodes or engraved in the metal casing.

sounds like a broken grid(the lines across the rear window) or thepower wire has broke off the window
to check this you need some FINE STEEL WOOL
turn the rear defrost on and move the steel wool across the grid not up and down slowly and litely if there is a break in the grid the steel wool will SPARK then mark it keep checking there could be more then one break
then you will need a repair kit
hope this helps

buy a car lighter MP3 adapter from your local electronics store. It plugs into your cars cigerate lighter and sends a radio frequenzy to your cars fm stereo without wires to you stereo, once setup push the seek button on your stereo and it will search for a station your mp3 is registered to.

Hi,
I got my daughter a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire. They are a lot of electrical work.
The problem is the wiring harness which splits and travels under the battery and the windshield washer reservoir. The wires oxidize and fall apart.
The low beams will work but if you turn on the high beams the lights will go completely out, right?
If this is the case I can pretty much guarantee that you will have to remove the battery, the drivers side front inner fender, the air filter housing, the air throat, and the windshield washer reservoir. You will then be able to open the wiring harness feeding the headlights. The wire that feeds your high beams is a pink wire. Test the wires from the harness plug (located just under the battery) to a point as close to the headlight as you can, Use a simple continuity tester. Also feel and bend the wires. If the insulation cracks and you see a green or lite blue powder then patch a new wire in.
All in all I found 4-wires which I replaced. Everything works now.
Good Luck,
Jay

if a light with word gauges lights up it means one of his gauges are out of range warning of a possiable problem such as low voltage,overheating,low oil pressure etc, it's the manufacturers way of getting your attention before you let car self destruct,could be as simple as low fuel.

those can be tricky to solve. get in the back of the car and look for a connector on the window. some times for some reason they let go. if it has let go then visit you auto store and ask for a fix there are a few products that are cheap. if it has not let go then if you know how to use a multi meter check for voltage on the connector/s if theres voltage then there is a break in the defroster somwhere

make sure that you have the springs in the right positions. look very closly. i had the same problem one time and it turned out that i had the sprng in backwars and it was striking the drum. the best thing to do i drive it for a while like 10 15 miles kilomerts and then take off the drums again. look around for springss that are worn shiny paint missing. it could also be a piece of rust caught in there somewhere

It's hydraulic but it side mount trans so it has two cable that for thought fire wall under shifter to the linkage mine is gone bushing are shot and I've done slave cylinder 3 times in 3 months kinda becoming a pain as i just got car and has only 70 k miles and

Sound like the synchronizer is out for 3 and forth gears

check your negative ground cable first thing. make sure that it is clean on the battery and all the other places it attaches too, and there are several. disconnect the battery negative and clean it and then disconnect the positive too. when you reinstall them after at least 5 minutes make sure they are very tight. not to the point of breaking them but tight. check back see, turn the key to the On only then off and then ON ( not start) shut it off and then start it as normal. is your check engine light on?

Yup
