I've had several electrical problems lately. The trac light, service engine, check engine and more come on all the time. It looks like a christmas tree sometimes. The car has also intermittedly acted like it didn't want to stop when I did. The rpms would stay up and I would have to stay heavy on the brake to keep it from pulling out onto a street. Help!!!
GM has a Problem with their STEPPER MOTORS.... You need to have your Instrument Cluster REBUILT or you can do it yourself if you know how to SOLDER..
Make sure you purchase the X27.168 Stepper Motors

well # 1 the full gauge when empty is a sign that your fuel pump is bad and that needs to be replaced the part about spitting the gas back out is probrobly a clog between the fuel door and the tank itself or their might be a vapor lock door that might be stuck shut so fuel cant get in im not 100%sure about that but im 100%sure that the fuel guage is the fuel pump being dead.

SOURCE: Service Engine,Abs, and Trac off light came on at same time
Hi, there I solved it myself turns out it was the driver front Abs sensor. the bearing had to be replaced because the Abs sensor is build into the bearing.
SOURCE: gas smell outside of car. unable to see any leaks, car runs fine
Hows your gas milage or do you have any check engine lights come on?Usually if theres no leakage signs its an indication of the evap system leaking.That is recycling of the gas fumes.Its a vacuum system that is now manditory on cars.Thats usually rhe answer when theres no leaking happening.After driving awile open your gas cap,see if you get a vacuum sound when you open it.
SOURCE: Enhanced Traction System Warning Light (TRAC OFF)
i have the same problem, dealer says its the trac sensor on one of the front hubs . to fix the problem you have to replace the wheel bearing assembly. you cant buy just the sensor, dealer wants 400.00 do it yourself for 100.00 or less shop for parts on line or cover the light with black tape it will not hurt anything
SOURCE: anti lock light and so on , is on
I got this car from my inlaws, and this same thing had been going on when they gave me the car. It ran fine, but the lights would come on withing a few miles of driving the car. Service Vehicle Soon, ABS, and Trac Off were the lights that were coming on. I drove it this way for awhile, then when I had it in for routine maintenance I was told I need the front wheel bearings replaced. I found a friend who replaced them for me, and lo and behold when I got the car back the lights were gone and haven't been back on since. I don't know a lot about cars so there certainly could be other problems that would cause these same symptoms, but it worked for me ;)
Something similar can happen when the float nears the bottom of the tank. Often, the range of motion does not extend to the very bottom, so the float can reach the bottom of its travel while there is still fuel in the tank. This is why, on most cars, the needle goes below empty and eventually stops moving while there is still gas left in the tank.
