I have the blue/black 2002 Monte (see pics in my new members post). It is a 3800 v6 Limited edition SS.

I have a few issues that I will highlight in a list format. Please offer any suggestions and I will greatly appreciate all feedback.

- driver's side leather heater in seat seems to not function
- seat heaters sporadically stop working (can't use switch anymore)
- traction control button wont function, traction is stuck in "off mode"
- sometime when car is turned off, locks and lights will flicker and lock and unlock by themselves (I have been pulling the battery when not using it)
- cd player/radio/casette player stereo system won't power on


* body work I am looking into *
* I will update this thread once I have had the check engine light code(s) checked. *


For now please let me know if there is any relation between these issues, and / or you know how to fix any of them. I am not objecting to the idea of upgrading the stereo system completely, but I want to know how to get the steering wheel controls to work (seems like a pain in the buttocks).

Sorry for the long post, I hope I can get some answers

In your new member post you said the wires were hooked up 2 the wrong battery terminals and we're smoking, could cause major electrical issues right there. Check all fuses for radio. The Trac control is probably a bad hub/abs sensor
