    Ok wife has a 2002 Grand Prix GTP. Well she calls me from on her way home and tells me that the car has a problem. When you turn the blower vent fan down to low the headlights and dash lights go out. If you turn it to more then low the lights are on and fine. Any ideas?

    alldatadiy.com could be an ignition switch problem or a bad ground.

    There are no grounds that would have to be removed to do that.

    Yeah I know but I was thinking maybe the ground to the battery or something with the fuse box that is out there.

    Is there somewhere online I can get the electrical drawings?

    I got a used one from moradpartscompany.com ... or you can go get one from a junkyard. It requires one or two "female" torx bits as well.
