Pontiac Repair: 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.1L Electrical Problems, car wash soap, pontiac grand prix
QuestionI recently purchased a used 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix. About a month or so into it ownership, the car died and refused to turn over. This was preceded by my lights dimming and the radio going haywire. I eventually replaced the alternator, starter, and battery. The car ran fine for another month or so and then did it again. Any idea what the problem could be?
AnswerHey Joshua:
It could be a bd alternator if you bought a "cheap one" from like an autozone or o'riles or advanced you get what you pay for. Did the battery light come on on the dash? that is a dead give away that the alernator is not charging. Thos auot parts store do do free electrical system check that's about all I would go to any of them for other than to but car wash soap or engine oil. If indeed it's bad go and get one from a NAPA store or a Carquest store. Good luck:)
