I am not a professional mechanic. I take no responsibility forOwners of other General Motors vehicles or any other American or foreign vehicle may also find this guide to beI repeated this procedure with my tail lights as detailed below.To prevent the humidity or rain water from entering again, I wrapped the outer ring of the headlight bulb sockets with some Teflon Tape (a.k.a. Plumber's Tape). I had this same problem with water condensation inside my car's headlights a few years ago. the problem, I had to completely remove the headlights from the car and dry them out indoors with a hair dryer. The moisture must have entered the tail light assembly due to the rubber seals around the light bulb housings becoming old and brittle. The high humidity and heavy rains in South Florida don't help the situation either. noticed some water droplets clinging to the inside wall of the tail lights on my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP sedan.

I had this same problem with water To prevent the humidity or rain water sockets with some Teflon Tape (a.k.a. Plumber's Tape). I repeated this procedure with my tail lights as detailed below. I didn't remove them to check the condition of the OEM original rubber gasket for fear of damaging the Teflon tape's barrier to our area's high humidity and torrential rain storms.The headlights were still free of any water droplets or mist since I wrapped them a few years ago toRivas Weight Loss ReviewsTo take out the threePrice Pfister Shower Faucet Repair Instructions headlight bulb sockets (low beam, high beam, & signal), just hold the smallSemi Truck Tires Yokohama tab and turn the grey socket housing a 1/2 turn counter clockwise and lift

access and remove the second of two tail light thumb screws, I peeled back removed this screw by rotating it counter clockwise with my fingers. In my car, the top tail light thumb screw was visible at the top rear corner of the trunk. To remove the tail light in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix or any General Motors car, you'll need to open the trunk and locate the large black plastic thumb screws. The three bulb sockets (parking, brake, reverse) on the rear of the tail light housing can be removed in the same manner as the headlight bulbs by holding down the plastic arm and rotating them counter clockwise.I didn't have time to wait overnight for the tail light assembly to dry, but that would have been a much easier and safer method for completely removing all the water.Be sure to periodically move the hair dryer to different sections of the housing or take short breaks so that you don'tTo help speed up the water removal from the tail light, I used a hairdryer set on high heat and blew

hot air into the socket holes. If the socket turns into the tail light housing too easily, you probably don't have a good enough seal and should add morePutting on too much Teflon tape may require either more force to twist the socket into the housing or you'll have to remove some of it little by little. It's better to have too much Teflon tape on the bulb socket than not enough. For the best seal, it's important to wrap a turn or two of plumber's tape on the inside surface of the socket where the oldTo create a new airtight and water tight seal around the tail light bulb sockets, I wrapped the outer ring of the socket with the Teflon tape. wrapping the Teflon tape around the tail light bulb sockets, I noticed that there was some water inside the sockets themselves. To remove that moisture, I thoroughly blew them out with a can of "Dust Off" compressed air. inserted the tail light bulb sockets back into the dried out housing with

firm pressure and twisted clockwise a half turn to the locked and closed To finish up the job, I put the assembly back on to the car and secured the two thumb screws. If you've done a good job of applying the Teflon tape, there should be a tight enough seal to prevent rain water, humidity or condensation from getting inside your automobile's headlights or initial repair attempt did not work completely. The tail light eventually gathered some more moisture inside of it over the course of a few weeks. believe that my second attempt has permanently fixed the main cause of theI removed the tail light, and dried it out over night. I made a note of where water was leaking out from between the clear plastic lens and the black body of the tail light when it was drying out in the bathroom. next day, I used several tubes of crazy glue to re-seal the lens to the tail For extra reassurance, I sealed the open areas of the bulb sockets with high temperature silicon sealant to keep water from entering

that area and rusting out the contacts.DIAGNOSE – ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER ENGINE IS STARTED The “ABS” or “Anti-Lock Brakes” light remains on after the engine is started and remains on or flashes. The Anti-Lock brake system is designed to rapidly modulate the braking action during a panic stop. This prevents the wheels from locking up and maintains vehicle control and stability. An ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and other various sensors to determine when wheel lock-up is about to occur. The ABS module continually performs diagnostics to ensure that the system is functional. When a malfunction occurs, the ABS module will illuminate or flash the ABS or Anti-Lock light on the dash panel to alert the driver. During start up, the module will illuminate the light as a self test. Shortly after the engine is started, the light should go out indicating the system is functional. If the light remains on the ABS Module has detected a system failure.

On most vehicles, the ABS system will not be functional while the light is illuminated. Usually, normal braking will result unless the failure is related to a component that is used for both normal braking and anti-lock braking. If the Red Brake light is also on, normal braking may be degraded as well indicating a system wide failure. On almost all ABS systems the module will store a diagnostic trouble code that relates to the circuit or component that has failed. The diagnosis will require the module to be placed in self diagnostic mode, which will result in it transmitting the stored diagnostic code. Once the code is received, the diagnosis should focus on that particular component or sensor. A vehicle specific service manual will indicate how the module is placed into diagnostic mode and will indicated what circuit or component relates to what code. Often a special scan tool, similar to a hand held computer, is required to interface with the module. CORRECTIVE ACTIONOnce the code has been retreived from the modules memory, that component or circuit will require service.
