With test light check voltage at horn assembly on both wire's, could only have one, horn assembly itself could be ground, have some one press horn button while checking, if there is voltage replace horn assembly, if no voltage horn pad at streeing wheel bad. that's being fuse and replay are good.

buy a 35mm sockett at sears and a ratchet extensions and remove the plastic cap thats stuffed behind the motor between it and the firewalla goodluck it sucks

sounds like a bad battery. have you tried to jump it? if it starts, go to a chain auto store like pepboys or auto zone they will check it for free. it might also be the starter. if you can access the starter, have someone tap on it with a broom stick or something similar while you try to start it. the starter is located on the rear part of the engine where the trans meets the engine. a cylindrical device with red colored, large wires connected to the back of it.

Unfortunately these cables come as all one piece.You can`t just replace the plastic broken part you have to get the whole cable.I know it`s not cheap.I show about 230 bucks in my area.This is before labor.The labor rate in my area is between 80 and 100 bucks an hour.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Hi

Have you put new fuel in the car? fuel left for 6mths wont be very good. and most likely will need a service, new plugs etc etc, change the oil and check the battery connections.

Hope this helps

You can remove the tire from the vehicle, make sure it is properly inflated, and spray with a soap and water solution. Carefully look around the bead, check the tread for bubbles, could be a puncture, and don't forget to look at the valve stem. Any bubbles indicates a leak. Good luck.

Either there is no power or stuck hinge release causing the deck not to open. If this is cable type, it may be stretched and if electronic, then may not have power to the motor to release. It is likely the latch could just be stuck and needs to be pried open and then lubed once it is open.

i would recommend picking up a Haynes manual. They have excellent wiring diagrams and very good information on all areas of your vehicle. If you do not want to buy one, though, you can get a free one by logging on to autozone.com and registering for a free account. Add your car to your garage and they let you use online manuals similar to a Haynes' or Chilton's with diagrams. i cannot say for certain how good it will be, though, as i have had some good and some not as good experiences with their manuals. But, hey, for free? It is at least worth a look.

i hope this helps

remove the fuse or disconnect the leads. The problem is likely the clock spring in the steering wheel. Fuse 55 and 60 https://fuse-box.info/pontiac/pontiac-solstice-2006-2010-fuses-and-relays https://www.google.com/search?q=pontiac+solstice+disconnect+horn ..

If check engine light is on now get the codes.even if it's not on get codes. If it is not storing them the computer may be at fault. First thing i would do though is take the battery terminals off and clean them. A battery with a shorting out cell could also do it.

the sensor is part of the latch so that will have to be replaced to fix it. Although water has been known to seep into the latch through the key hole (bad gasket) and fixes itself when it drys out.
