My thoughts exactly and first comment I seen said it

Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated. I agree, seeing those struggles can prepare for some of the issues viewers may face. Glad to hear that it is helpful.

That's awesome news! It's comments like these that make making these videos worthwhile! Very happy you got everything fixed up and saved quite a bit of money too! Appreciate the feedback!

I am happy to hear everything worked out. That one torx is a pain! Thanks for watching

No problem at all. Glad to hear the video helped out

That's awesome news! I'm really happy to hear that. Thanks for the amazing feedback!

This video helped me so much! Thank youuuu😁

thanks dude youre the man

Why I always read the comments

Thanks for the tip to turn the steering wheel CCW. The bottom torque screw out and in was a breeze!

Absolutely my pleasure Eric. Glad to hear the video was very helpful in getting the Turn Signal Stalk changed. Also, thank you for the helpful tip! I always welcome them, and I definitely didnt think of turning the wheel! Thank you for watching as well, and for taking the time to leave a comment!

No problem at all. My only warning is to be careful with the airbags. But it can be done for sure, very easily. Glad to hear the video was helpful. Thanks for the great feedback

Thanks, i do appreciate that comment! Hopefully it all goes easy for you as well! Thanks for watching!

That's awesome news. Glad to hear all went well and your turn signals are all good again

Awesome! Love this feedback. This is exactly the reason why I make these videos! Thanks for commenting and hope everything works out! Appreciate it!

NaturalLightVee My brother is also a mechanic and he's going to watch this video and see if we can fix the problem too, this just started happening to me last year and got worse over the year as it got cold, ridiculous that gm won't fix this for free. The most annoying thing I've had to deal with in this car.

@@angelkayotic I have to agree with you there. This seems to be a very common problem with these cars...common enough that it should be recalled or fixed. But that wouldnt happen for sure. I think your brother should have an easy time with it. It will be nice to have a proper working turn signal again! Good luck, and thanks for watching!

Thanks, I really appreciate that! I do try and keep it real in the videos! Thanks for watching, and glad the video was useful!

Agreed! Most videos don’t show how each of the plugs are disconnected. Very helpful!

Thanks! I appreciate the great feedback! Glad you're happy with your purchase. They are great cars...I'll never get rid of mine. Hope you get many years out of it!

No problem, glad the video helped. I agree, that steering column cover is a pain to deal with...it's more annoying than the stalk itself! Thanks for watching

That's awesome news. Glad to hear the video helped out. You made quick work out of it.

No problem at all!

No problem at all! This is great news...glad the video was so helpful and you got it done so quickly! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave feedback. Appreciate it!

OH! And by the way, I found if you turn the steering wheel hard left or right, it's a whole lot easier to get to that troublesome screw behind the wheel by going through the open space on the wheel.

Honestly, one of the best compliments and comments I can get. Thank you for responding, and I am very happy to hear that the video was helpful. Great tip with the steering wheel as well! Thanks for sharing!

I agree. Any info like that helps for sure. Especially with plastics and trim pieces. Glad the video was helpful

That's awesome! Hope you find some cool, useful videos among the bunch. Thanks for the amazing feedback and support.

No problem at all....glad it will help out. The brights-with-turn-signal issue seems to be pretty common, actually. Thanks for watching!

No problem at all. Glad the video was helpful! Helping the DIY Warriors is 100% the goal!

That's awesome news! Glad the video will help out and really solidified your ability to get it done! Thanks for the great feedback. Maybe its time for a stereo upgrade? LOL

@@NexusAuto might as well! Secondary car is cassette only 😂👍

@@winstonchaychel LOL sounds like a plan!

Awesome! I hope it all works out well! Good luck for sure! Thanks for watching!

No problem at all. Happy to hear the video was helpful. Thanks for watching!

Sounds good to me! Hopefully everything goes smoothly (I'm sure it will). Let me know how it goes

No problem! Enjoy your 07 GT!

no problem at all. glad the video helped out...appreciate the comments. Good luck!

@@NexusAuto thank you again, keep up the great vids my friend :)

No problem. Glad the video helped out.

Thank you so much Nexus, I bought a new one and I changed it and it's working very well You're professional and I learned from you. good luck with the channel

Really huh? I can see that... That's a great tip! My stalk was working fine, only made the video as a request. Didn't notice the grease, so unaware of this issue. Thanks for posting!

@@NexusAuto I bought the AC Delco cheap Amazon going to try that first thanks for the vid new to channel, just picked up a cheap 06' gt I'm in love hahaha

@@NexusAuto is there a fuse that can be removed in meantime?

@@Jeschitown awesome, I always like a good deal on Amazon! And welcome to Grand Prixs and the channel! Hope you get all the info you need for sure! What fuse were you looking for? For the turn signal stalk?

@@NexusAuto thanks had a 00 gtp in the past but the newer gen built much better, Canada actually dude replaced lots of parts, suspension, engine, brakes, new tires on and on runs perfect 93k!

Awesome, glad to hear the video helped out.

Hey Shannon, no worries at all. I do tag my videos pretty well, but unfortunately, there is other criterias KZfaq uses for video search results. I did search "grand prix turn signal' and 'grand prix turn signal stalk' and my video did come up. But KZfaq is so finicky like that. So no worries at all. The video in competition was only in jest, without a doubt. I dont mind multiple versions of videos out there. Everyone does things differently, so sometimes watching multiple versions of the same job can give great insights. Also, since you are going more from a factory service manual perspective, it will give people alternatives. Nothing wrong with that in my book. My car does have cruise control, but it is on the steering wheel, on the lower right side. I have a 2005 base model, but heavily modified. Feel free to contact me when your channel is up and running, and I will definitely review. I am looking forward to is. I feel your pain with the video software. I have been doing this for a few years, and upgrade incrementally as I go. Baby steps, as they say. As my channel only pulls limited revenue at this time, due to it still being relatively small, I upgrade as I go, and when I can. You will get there, I have no doubt.

puddingistastyapples ahaha hey...to each their own. Definitely good for a laugh 😂

Not just a prik, grand prik.

Oh sure, super funny to explain to the police when you get pulled over for flashing them ....haha, or you wear out your lights sooner. Man I cant stop laughing...smh

Would be nice lol but my brights stay on now

Can't pass inspection with it tho unfortunately

Awesome! No problem at all, glad the video helped out.

@@NexusAuto low beams still don't work though... Changed the switch, checked new bulbs before and after the switch and all fuses look good... This is annoying.

@@demonchild8452 at that point, I normally start working my way back from the bulb with a voltmeter. It is very frustrating, I agree. I would start by checking the power at the low beam socket, both inside at the terminal, and outside at the wire. It is possible, even though unlikely, that the sockets both went bad. Had seen that on a Chevy Venture once. So never eliminate any possibility without testing. That is where I would go next, considering the bulbs and fuses are good and you just changed the switch

@@NexusAuto I'm going to try the splitter harness on the back of the headlight assembly. Both marker lights are out too and I tried a bulb from my interior that I knew worked and it didn't light. Apparently the power runs through the marker to the low beam.

@@NexusAuto the marker sockets are normally white but have brown marks like the bulbs were getting hot enough to discolor the sockets. The marker bulbs are blackish chrome colored and look like the coils vaporized. Lol

No problem. Glad it helped out!

Depends on the cause of the noise. Most common is the clips became loose, and needs to be readjusted. "fit and finish' is always something to double check. Just not putting panels back together snugly can cause rattle. As sucky as it is to say, the only way to fix it is to take it back apart and check to see where the rattle is coming from

@@NexusAuto i just found out that few clips are broken .

@@jeanpierreremond2565 Ok no worries. Good thing you found the problem...that could be annoying. That is great news.

Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback. Glad the video helped!

Appreciate the sub! Thanks for watching!

Always! It never fails!

Unfortunately, I do not have a video or info to reference for the 02 Grand Prix. I have not worked on one in about 12 years! LOL. But hopefully this video will help. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNWpo6R7lsjSmGg.html

Hey Rodney, the good and bad news is that there is no turn signal flasher or relay (that I recall). That is all controlled by the BCM. So since we can eliminate the bulb from the equation, that leaves the turn signal bulb harness, the turn signal switch, and the BCM. Since the rear turn signal works, along with the rear driver side, it is highly unlikely to be the BCM. So this leave the Turn Signal Switch or the harness. For my money, I sounds like the harness is bad. If you have a voltmeter, you should test it out to make sure it is even getting power. Although I am not there to verify, I think the front driver side bulb harness is the issue. Check for loose wiring too, corrosion, anything like that.

Did that work? i thought that would be a little tight to work with, unless you happen to have a stubby L wrench. Did it work out for you ok?

Yes it did just use the short angle so you can get to the second screw on the bottom under the steering column

@@rotai3357 Awesome! Thanks for sharing, great tip! Hopefully it will help other viewers. Thanks for sharing

Btw do you happen to know more about the pontiac grand prix as car as the head lights? I used your video to help me remove and replace my switch handle which was easy plug and play really but it didn't fix my headlight problem.

I meant as far as the headlights *

No problem at all. For the first issue, that sounds more like a burnt filament than a bad stalk. The bulbs have 2 filaments inside, one for the regular running light, and the other for the turn signal. If you are getting a fast flash from the rear and cluster, but no flash at all in the front, then it sounds like the filament is blown. Check to make sure the filament in the bulb is good (should be 2 filaments there). If the bulb is good, then I would use a multimeter and check the signal wire, and make sure it is getting power when you turn on the signal. If it is not, then you need to further diagnose the issue. If it is, then it could be the stalk. For the second issue, I have not seen that before. I have heard of it a couple of times, and both times, replacing the stalk fixed the issue. So I cannot 100% say this will fix it, but if the high beam comes on with the right signal, then something is definitely up. Hope this helps

Thank you! Yeah I found that having a light on is deceptive due to the double filiment which I didn't realize... I was able to really tell when I locked the car with the remote and it didn't blink! So now I know hahahaha!

LOL no worries at all. Glad you were able to find the issue! At least it was a simple fix!

I hear ya there. Easily the most frustrating part of the whole process.

@@NexusAuto Realized that a couple of the small plastic tabs have broken, either recently or long ago, so it’ll never quite fit properly lol. Ended up duct taping the side not fitting properly so that it doesn’t scrape against the back of the steering wheel as much.

@@acenine8149 ah gotcha. Damn, that sounds frustrating. But at least you got it worked out . Your solution sounds like a good workaround to me. Gotta do what you gotta do

Update: Ended up going to the junkyard and pulling the panels to try and switch them out. Bottom one fits perfectly but this top one is making me consider committing a felony 🤬🤬. Don’t know how you did it, but putting this top steering column panel is impossible lol

@@acenine8149 LOL damn, that sucks to hear. But I'm not surprised...those panels can be frustrating as hell. I think you can claim insanity by ways of these panels if you did commit a felony LOL. Hopefully you get it all worked out.

Very true. Would have made it easier

I completely agree. The trim is the hardest part of the whole thing. Hopefully you were able to get it all together

@@NexusAuto finally got it all together today after hours of frustration lol

@@UnknownUser-ul1bt Awesome news! I know how frustration that damn trim can be lol! At least you're good to go now!

Awesome. Appreciate the feedback. Love hearing things like that. Thanks for being a fan. And yep, that is the same Grand Prix that I have there. For your issue, there is a few things that can happen, that can cause the issue you are describing. Since it is happening when you release the gas, it sounds like it is when the engine rolls forward after acceleration, and comes to a rest, so first thing to look at is always the mounts. There is 4 mounts for the car...the 2 front 'dog bones', a driver-side transmission mount, and a lower passenger side motor mount. I would start with these. I would check the dog bones first...see if there are damaged or if there is any play in them. Have someone rev engine in neutral (make sure to be safe, chock the wheels, etc) and then abruptly release the throttle, and listen for any noises. Also, for the passenger side dog bone mount, it doesnt attach to the engine, but to a frame. These are known to break or crack with age. Check that and see if it is broken. If all good, then move to the lower mounts. If all that checks out, you may have a suspension issue.

Thanks a lot I really appreciate the time to help me out! I will try to upload a video and maybe amplify the sound if it is possible

no problem at all. If you upload the video, do send me a message and let me know. I will take a look when I get a chance

No problem at all. Thanks for watching.

Does your model have auto headlights? And I believe your model is 2006 or later?

@@NexusAuto yes. 2007 pontiac grand prix base 3.8

@@1lolxox1 ok cool. That separate wire is not on my 2005. I have fog lights on my car, but I believe that plug actually has to do with the auto lights that came from 2006 and up. You should see it when you remove that outer cover. It is a bit tricky to get to, but you should be able to reach enough to unplug the old turn signal stalk from the wire harness. Then plug the new one in to the same spot. The rest of the process should more or less be the same

Sounds like the turn signal stalk switch to me. The entire operation is controlled by the stalk, and if it can be turned off when you pull it forward, then I would start with that first.

Agreed, I had a very similar issue and replacement switch werked fer me

You can, and it should have the same desired effect. I would still say to disconnect the battery as you are dealing with electrical wiring and switches, but that is up to you. If you disconnect the battery and wait some time to make sure it is fully discharged, you should be ok

I don't want to say 100% it is the issue, as there can always be multiple causes to an issue. I will say it is VERY common for these turn signal stalks to give issues and to affect the headlights. Other things can affect it (for example the center mounted brake light being out can affect the cruise control), but it is definitely worth looking into

@@NexusAuto thanks man!!! Gonna have to find the root of its issue but I bright flash ppl with that damn thing!! May just get a new on Its a blessing I found this channel just got a 06 grand prix. Guess what I'm watching from this channel rn hahahaha god damn elbow hoses and or L hoses anyways thanks for all you do!

@@TheMAJIKALNinjaBrett I've been lucky to not have the issue, but seen a lot of people who had. It is like a combination of embarrassing, frustrating and hilarity all in one lol. Hope you get to the bottom of it for sure. Really glad to hear the channel has helped out...awesome stuff! And the damn L hoses is a good one...make sure to get those aluminum ones, or you'll be watching it again in a few years! Haha. Thanks for the great feedback...much appreciated

I can't say it is *the* reason your cruise control is not working, but it can be one of the causes. There is a few reasons why the cruise will not work, and this is one of them.

@@NexusAuto yeah When I turn signal right my brights come on and by cruise won’t even turn on it blink if I Keep pressing it but won’t stay on but I’ve ordered one so let’s hope it fixes the problem

@@shanndonferguson1321 I hope so too. Sounds like either way, you needed the stalk. But hope it fixes both problems for you. Good luck!

Glad to hear the video was helpful. For the horn, are you talking about diagnosing the horn in general, or how to remove the horn (and subsequently the air bag)?

@@NexusAuto well in my case the trumpets that make the sound are working, because the alarm activates it. But when I try to activate it from the steering wheel button it doesn't make any sound.

@@torerotigreen9198 hmmm, ok, that eliminates a few things from the equation. The horn fuse would be good, as so should the relay. Also, the BCM is good (which is what tells the horn to beep when you press the alarm). So aside from a wiring issue (broken or pinched wire), you are looking at either the Horn switch iteself, which is inside the turn signal lever (this video), or the switch/ground inside the air bag coil. How is your turn signal switch? All works ok?

@@NexusAuto the turn signal works but the high beams light on lol

@@torerotigreen9198 LOL oh that is always a fun one. I know some GP owners who just never bother to fix the switch to piss off incoming drivers. Mean, but it happens haha! Ok, so before you do anything else, and just so you can be 100% sure, make sure to check the horn relay. It would be working, since the it activates with alarm, but you want to make sure it is working correctly. Pending that all electrical is good(relay and wiring), you are either left with the turn signal switch (which is highly likely the issue) or the air bag coil (very unlikely). I would give 95% that it is the turn signal switch, but dont quote me 100% as I am just giving an armchair diagnosis. The thing is, under the steering wheel, where the air bag coil is, the only thing that affects the horn is a little ground switch that grounds the horn circuit when you press in the horn in a fit of anger at someone lol. It is very unlikely for that to go, since not much can affect it. Anything is possible, but it is unlikely.That little ground goes to the turn signal stalk, which goes to the BCM (Body Control Module). That is far more likely to go, since it is something we interact with every day. And since the high beams are stuck on, even more likely that is the cause. Additionally, if you want to check the ground, you need to disable the entire air bag system and then get a special tool to remove the air bag (they are about $70 US on eBay, more in stores). It is up to you on how you want to proceed, but you may want to change your turn signal stalk first and see if it fixes the issue. It may not, but it is a better next step vs disabling and removing the air bag.

No problem. Thanks for watching!

Accessing it is the same, but removal is different. There is different hook ups and wiring. Also, I have not checked if there is anything in the way of removal. But accessing it is definitely the same idea

@@NexusAuto ok thank you

Technically, there can be a few causes, from electrical shorts to bad wiring, but this is definitely one of the most common causes for sure.

@@NexusAuto thanks I'm gone give this a try

@@jamestramble7573 Cool, sounds good. Good luck, and hopefully it does fix your issue.

A few people mentioned here too, and said it made the work much easier. I say go for it and give it a try. I never thought of it at the time, but it worked for others.

Honestly, hate to say it, but I am not sure. In a scenario like this, I would normally get out my multimeter and begin some testing. It must have something to do with the work done, or something related. I would say to double check all wiring and make sure it is plugged in correctly. It may be some work, but you can try plugging back in the old one and see if the car starts...new one may be defective. Also, check all fuses, even fuses unrelated to the work you did (like the starter fuse) and then if all looks good, you will have to dig deeper with the testing. That should not happen though, so something unusual is up

@@NexusAuto Thank You but I don’t think he unplug the computer he just took the hot post off of the battery and then I was told by another person to turn the key on for a few minutes before I try to start it

@@NexusAuto I put the old one back in the car runs

@@dreamayoung6791 Ok, that's a good start. Did you try disconnecting the battery with the new one in? Any results there?

@@NexusAuto yes it wouldn’t start

I hear ya. Finding Grand Prix videos is fairly easy, but finding ones on the 88-96 generations is much harder. To be honest, those have become rarer cars, and rarer still for a KZfaqr to get their hands on a car to make videos on them. I searched both KZfaq and Google and could not find much details at all. Only thing I can suggest is maybe getting a manual, like the service manual or a haynes manual. Better than nothing, I guess. Good luck though.

Thanks! Glad to hear it will help! Appreciate it!

What about your old ass 1995 Grand Prix? Lol

Not quite. There is some similarities, but things like how to remove the trim around the steering wheel and the wiring on the back of the turn signal stalk are very different.

actually im workin on an 03 g6"😞..my daughter's car.

@@NexusAuto and thank you for responding"👊😀..

@@billymiller3249 Oh gotcha. That car is actually a bit easier to do. Unfortunately, I do not have a video for that car.It is different to this car, but easier in my opinion.

@@NexusAuto thnx doode"😊👈.

Meh. It's just a video showing people how to fix the stalk in a pinch with minimal tools. Seems to work fine for most so I'm not concerned. Thanks for the tip

I know...such a giant pain in the ass. Not to defend Pontiac, but this issue is not exclusive to them. As these cars get more and more modern, the headaches get worse. Not just GM...so many car manufacturers. Honestly, it pisses me off sometimes. Simple things like headlight bulbs are such a chore. This is not even the worst stalk I've worked on. Regardless, its still a pain to work on. Hopefully you get it all sorted quickly and easily

But I want how can I find a steering column for a 1987 Pontiac Grand Prix you know I can find that party

AHAHAHAHAHA Ok, seriously, I had no idea I even nearly said that until you pointed it out. No idea filming it, and no idea even when I edited the video. That killed me. Thanks for pointing that out, made my day! :D

It is a bit of a pain in the ass, but it can be done for sure. Good luck bro, and thanks for watching. Hopefully it fixes the hi-beam issue!
