Where is the starter on a 1999 Pontiac Firebird?

Assuming it's a 4 cylinder, it's buried way up behind the back of the block and REALLY not a lot of fun to change because you need eight inch fingers with four knuckles to reach one of the bolts.

What is wrong if the tail lights work but one brake light doesn't when the lights are on?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two filaments in the lamp. One for the tail light and a brighter one for the brake light. First thing I would do is pull out the bulb and check the filaments to be sure that they are both good. If the lamp appears to be good you can have someone hold the brake pedal down and check for voltage.

What causes the radio and all inside lights to shut off for a split second and the RPM and mph hand to go down when pushing on the brakes in a 1997 Pontiac Firebird?

Hey bud, With all different circuits being effected as they are , you have a earthing fault. Check your earth between body and - batt and to engine also.

Try looking into the Transmission Range Sensor. I had the problem of my radio cutting out when I went into reverse. Then, it also went out when I braked and sometimes when I turned corners. Then it went out all together. At about the time this happened, my fasten seat belt light started flickering. The real concerning part for me was that my power steering has become unreliable too. Other things that have gone wrong all at this same time are my window wipers and my power windows. I've been looking for help on this site and found these two questions (adresses pasted below) and think it might be the same thing, although I haven't had the chance to try this and see if it fixes it.

What could cause a 1995 Pontiac Firebird to lose power?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

might be your catalytic converter being plugged up. An exhaust leak, bad head gasket, cracked head, clogged air filter, low compression, timing off, bad spark plugs. The 2.5 is a high compression engine, not enough back pressure in the exhaust will cause a drop in performance, via low compression in the 2 middle cylinders. The cat going bad or getting clogged up will also cause black puffs out of the exhaust, when it is very bad the car will stall and you will have to hold the gas pedal down to get it started and at stops to keep it running.

Replace dash in fiero with a dash from a firebird?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes the firebird dash from 93-2002 is a popular upgrade for the Fiero. It requires some mechanical and electrical skills and is not exactly plug and play. But it has been done dozens of times in the past decade. You can look on any Fiero forum for help on how to do it.

The rpm and Speedometer doesnt work on your 2004 trailblazer what is the problem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Faulty culster: See my post below, you can google this and find this is a problem for a lot of 04 Trailbazer owners, even me. Same problem. It started once the temp hit below freezing in my area for the first time this year also. My speedometer was reading a lot faster than I was going, for example it said 120mph when I was going about 10mph. Everyday is different with the wacky speedometer, one day it will read 0mph, the next it will work and so on. I bought it used and it has 83,000 miles on it.

I called and filed a complaint. EVERYONE MUST CALL CHEVROLET AND FILE A COMPLAINT. As per the Chevrolet Customer Service Desk, they must receive a set number of complaints for the same problem before they will issue a recall.

The number I called was (800) 222-1020 and filed a complaint. I also called 866-790-5700 and filed a complaint. Call both numbers!

Chevy is aware of this problem, and I even talked to my friend who works at GMC dealership and he said they get 5-10 GMC/Chevy's from 2003-2004 in to replace the speedometer. Everyone just needs to call and file complaints.

Why would one of my coil packs not fire on a 3800 motor when the coil pack is good?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 3800 engine coil packs will fire on #3 and #6 Cyl. at the same time as #2 & 5 and #1 & #4 Cyl. Because it helps burn off fuel not burned after the cyl. fires for emissions. If you get a computer code for missfire on cyl.#1, it can be for cyl. #1 or cyl.#4 check so check your sparks plugs and plugs wires for #1 & #4 Cyl. The 3800 computer will only give you only 3 missfire codes. For cyl. #1, #2 or#3. The ele. circurit needs to go from #1 on the coil pack ,plug wire #1, spark plug#1,engine,from plug#4 to plug wire #4, to coil pack 4 to make a complete circurit. Next to look at is the module under the coil packs.

I have a 94 firebird 7.5 10 bolt so is 35 thousandths a good shim for a 4 10 pinion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's not so much about what ratio you are installing, it's more about the checking distance (cd) marked on the pinion. Install the new pinion with the right shims to put it in the same location as the original, then use side shims with the carrier to achieve the correct backlash. Sometimes you can reuse the original shims, sometimes you need different ones.

Change a mechanical instrument cluster to digital on an 89 firebird?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You need to rewire the entire car with a harness from a digital car. You have to remove the dash all the way to the firewall and replace with the digi dash and bezel. You'll need door latches from a digital car and the heater box needs to be from a digi, also. The heater control switch has to be changed to one from a digital car. It is a lot more than just pulling an analog cluster out and putting in a digital cluster. It's probably best to just get a digi car and restore it if you don't want a big project. Hope that helps!

Is there a fuse for the high beams that i can take out i have a 1994 Pontiac Firebird and the lever has broken off and my high beams are now stuck on how do i fix this problem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Open the dash (or wherever the switch is mounted, I think it's the dash on firebirds) by taking out the screws and go to where the switch. Being very careful not to touch any other wires, there should be either three or four wires going in (more if the blinkers go to this control as many late model cars do) and try touching the black wire to the others, one combination should switch the light level. Be careful not to touch any of the metal below the dash cover, many GM cars have the hot wire switched in the dash controls, and this makes it easy to fry the electronics. You should be safe if you only short in that one switch, though.
