Not really sure whats being asked here... Can we get a little bit better of a post so we know what you are after?

I'm very interested in purchasing a dome light assembly, can you please let me know if these are still available due to the age of the post and also is it possible to send me a picture so I can see exactly what they look like and hoping they will work for my 93 Cutlass Supreme Vert. Thank you for keeping these vehicles up and running and the ability to find "discontinued parts".

Hey there guys, just had the top on my 1993 vert replaced. Since the piece the covered the workings of the top ( like the inside ribs) had pretty much rotted, this is the first time I’ve ever seen the bottom of the top. There are two metal hook like pieces on either side of the top back behind the back windows that I have no idea what they are or where they should go. Any ideas? Thanks

I just did this job and I relocated the module in the trunk. It's now velcroed on the inner fenderwell. There is plenty of wiring and the module can be hidden under the trunk carpet. Now when the next time it fails it will be a 10 minute job instead of a real headache

Define "tried everything". WHAT did you "try"? What were the results? Yes, a shop can connect a scan tool to diagnose the problem. When it was MY W-bodies, the sensor wires were corroded, the sensor harness from wheel to chassis needed to be replaced. In other cases, the sensor may be bad, or the wheel hub. There are other potential problems that will require other solutions. That's why it needs to be diagnosed with the scan tool. When was the last time the brake fluid was flushed through the ABS unit using a scan tool to actuate the valves?

WHY does your car need a "k frame"? What is actually wrong with it?

Looking into getting mine in order. Probably only needs forward k frame? Probably doesn't need to be turbo. Need a donor possibly. Looking at options been out of the game so don't know current values. Also was my understanding a McLaren was fully optioned. I can't find any with moon roof or leather. I don't think one better optioned than mine exists. So I don't know what to do as far as donors

I have an 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme S 3.1 with the same issue and been having it for years even with brakes I have tried everything to get this ABS lights to go out Could a shop check my ABS sensor to see if it could be cleaned?

Thank you thank you for yours and everyone’s help. It is greatly appreciated. I had no idea there was a Facebook tgp group. I will be checking that out thoroughly. Anyway here’s a picture of my old Grand Prix. It was the reason I even knew about the tgp. I thought I knew everything about gp’s at one time. But I didn’t and still don’t. 69 sj I still regret selling it.

Found on a Pontiac forum.

These were posted on the Shitty Years Pontiac forum today.

There are 4 separate pieces per side for a total of 8 pieces for both sides of the car underneath the rocker panel or floor pan areas for structural support. I'm assuming these are the pieces or areas that you're referring too? None of them are available anymore or will be easy to find as separate pieces that can be purchased. They'll need to be fabricated or somehow swapped from a donor car that is of course not rusted or rotted. A rust free parts car or junkyard car will be your best friend here if you don't want to have someone make them.

The strip I have on my '93 Cutlass convertible is rusted and bulging. Can it be replaced? How difficult is the job? Where can I buy the part? This is the way it was described to me... "The heavy-duty metal strip you are describing on your 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible is likely a structural reinforcement plate or subframe connector. These components are designed to enhance the rigidity and strength of the vehicle's frame, especially in convertible models where additional support is needed due to the lack of a fixed roof. The series of bolts hold this reinforcement plate securely in place, attaching it to the car's subframe and rocker panels. Over time, these parts can rust, particularly in older vehicles."

Thanks for your extensive input on this subject, I'll continue to follow your updates. I also just started a new question regarding rocker panel reenforcement strips for my '93 convertible. If you happen to have any thoughts on that too. Thanks again.

You're talking about the "cigarette lighter" sockets? They're supplied with power and ground, if either or both are non-functional, the socket won't work. Obtain the wiring diagram for them from the service manual set for your vehicle. I buy 'em used, from sellers on eBay.

Does anyone have the actuator nee or used in working condition for sale 24503860 part number

My 12 volt plugs in my 2006 pontiac grand prix gxp are not working. I have checked fuses and they are all fine. The plug on the outside of the console doesn't work neither does the one inside? Anyone have a solution to my problem?

Hey Jay! over 11 years later I am still using your write up! links all still work! Thanks! -Jarek

That’s exactly what I was thinking, find a jy car with it and pull it along with the pigtail, and go on all data or something to find the wiring diagram. Unfortunately, coming across a 97-00 car in any jy within 100 miles of me is difficult, let alone one that came with ecc

First off thank you. That GTP is like my baby lol If you manage to connect the ECC to the proper wires it should work. I don't know exactly what wires are what in these cars for the climate control units. Mine shows outside temp and whatever temp I set the dials to. I would probably go to a junkyard and grab as much wiring harness from a car that has ECC and start figuring out where all those go so you can tap into the correct wires.

First of all beautiful gtp!! Second of all I did a comparison and the only difference between the 2 is 1. It shows inside temp and outside temp on the ecc and doesn’t on mine obviously(no screen) and 2 it has a little different button selection and it automatically adjusts the fans like you said, however since that is done in the unit, I’m wondering if(because I’m guessing mine also has at least the inside temp sensor) that if i connect solder on the connecter for the ecc and confirm that I’ve made the right connections with schematics, in theory everything should work the same, I’m really hoping at least…

Mine is just 2 dials with buttons. When set to a temp it will automatically adjust the fan speed.

I’ve seen that one before, I’m not totally sure of the difference between automatic and manual control, I know one has 3 knobs and my version has 2 knobs and 2 sliders, im not sure which is which

I know doing this isn't easy. I found a thread from the old grand prix forums that may be of use. I do like the electric climate control feature in my 2000 GTP. https://www.grandprixforums.com/how-to-write-ups-tech-tips/106563-97-02-pontiac-grand-prix-manual-dual-hvac-to-automatic-hvac-conversion.html
