    Hi everyone,

    I had some intermitten electrical problems this morning. My traction control lights, abs lights, and low fuel lights came on and off at various points. My transmission shifting was very choppy and rough, my radio was cutting out, my tachometer was jumping around and various other issues. I found out it was due to a power wire which was grounding out on the side of a pulley. I have a 2006 Grand Prix gt. does anybody know if I did any long term damage or any effects it will have? All of the problems seem to be gone now. Thanks.

    if you replaced or repaired the damaged wire, and made sure it wont hit the pulley any more, and its operating fine now, id think your ok.
