Default '06 Monte Carlo Owner

Hey everybody, my name is Sam. I have a 2006 Monte Carlo LT. I come here all the time for advice when I have an issue and always find help, but just registered today. My Monte has 275,000 miles on it, but still drives like a dream. Every once in a while, like today, I have an issue, but I get it fixed and keep driving. This is by far the best car I have ever had. When I'm not working I'm also a BBQ enthusiast.

That's right! Love that car. I've replaced everything under the hood at least once damn near. I won't ever sell it.

Welcome Sam! Glad to have you here! I am Taybee! I recently just purchased a 2006 Monte Carlo LT and I also own a 2003 Monte Carlo LS. As you can guess, I absolutely LOVE my 06 (Black Beauty)! This car is strong enough for a man, but PH balanced for a woman (I know I know, I sound like a commercial)! Looking forward to seeing you around!

Do you know if I need to replace a fuse, because my right side info buttons aren't working. The area to check trips, fuel, etc?

Check the plug to the buttons first. Need to remove the plastic dash panel in one long piece (mostly snaps) to access it. See if someone had it off and forgot to plug it back in.
