On the driver side kick pannel when u take it off there is a rubery goo thing and if u take it off there is a fuse or relay of some sort what is this for???
And also under my center airvents if u look underneeth there is some sort of a yelly sensor in it i took the dash off to see if it actualy did soemthin it does cuz there are wires for it any one know what it is???

 

I think it has to do with the VATS.I do know it is ignition related.Several months ago I had a problem with the vats on my RS.When I turned the key I could hear the item your talking about click.I jumped a wire from a green wire out of that relay to another and the car started.And has been starting fine since.

If I am understanding the location right. It is probably Relays to power options. I foget if they go to the door locks or the seat.

So that's what that hole covered by tar paper is for! (I don't have power locks or power seats or VATS...)

As to that yellow sensor, that's the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).

wait the VSS is inside the car under the airvent no offencebut it dosent make sence to me also i found a new sensor on oour trunk lol... There is a little flap of carpet int he center and if u lift it up a tad u will see somethin in there so i went underneeth the car to see what it was and it was some sort of sensore lol

 

I think I mis-read... what year is your car? On cars with the cable-controlled speedo, the yellow VSS box is mounted on the back of the speedometer. I actually see it when I look below my driver's front speaker- so these probably aren't the same thing. Sorry!

its a 91 its below my center airvents if you go look you will see it if your car has it i think its for the ac but i dono just sheer curiosty has struckin me about it lol

 

lmao

that thing under your center airvents, that not many people know what it is or that its even there, is actually a light, yes you heard me a light.. its yellow from the tar in ciggie smoke.. square plate with two 7mm screws holding it in, two small wires runing to it? i forget the bulb number but its the small version of a 192..

 

You guys have that light for your ashtry in you pontiacs?
Damn.....and I thought I was special because I have one
I will say the light is about as bright as a burnt-out light bulb.

im gonna change the bulb.. I just quit smokin lol and i wa slike why the hell does every car have a light for the ashtray but mine. Well ill never get to use it but i am gonan replace the bulb do u even notice it???

 

how do u get that little bulb out i got part of i out by brakeing it ugg

 

Well i got it out it broke now how do u put a new bulb in i dodnt see any connectors just bare wires at the bottom??? im really into this little light thing LOL
Also what is the thing in our trunk its a sensor of some sort jsut dont know what

 

(laughs) Oh that makes sense! I thought you were talking about a yellow sensor inside the dash! (I was wondering how you saw in that deep!)

I have a light over my heater controls; didn't think it was for the ashtray. I did finally score that switch to make my console light functional tho... looked forever for it. Apparently it's a hot item.

lol.. the sockect that holds the bulb twists like a 1/4 turn and pulls out, then the buble has the wedge type base and it just pulls straight out.. what i did on mine, that lens was so crudded up the light was too dim to be of any use, so i took a drill and drilled a little hold in place of that lens.. now it shines right on the ashtray.. start with a small bit and work up till you get the right ammount of light you want.. as far as the loose wire coming off the hatch motor, thres two of em, one is for the remote open switch and the other is a +12vdc lead for the optional light.. as far as other optional lights, if you dig around under your dash youll find the connectors for the optional foot area lights.. just buy the sockets, and they hook right up..

 

There is no power going to the ashtray light anyideas how i can get power goin to it
