The heads up display on my '04 GTP is working, but not projecting onto the windshield. Can I fix this, or do I need to take it to a dealership? It's not the fuse.
Had the exact same problem in 2005 (car was only a year old)....believe or not i was able to fix the problem without removing anything from the dash except the clear plastic shield that prevents debris from falling into the HUD compartment...I did it very, very carefully so as not to damage it.....I then had a buddy look in from outside while i "Blindly" reconnected the spring with his verbal guidance....it was a real pain...but we got it done...without spending $500.00 too!!! Dealership technicians will tell you anything to get in to the shop...they are in the business of making a ton of money AT YOUR EXPENSE!!!...whatever happen to good old fashion troubleshooting, and thinking outside the box??
I'm having the same problem with my 2004 GP.
I'm glad I googled this..
I'll see if I can try and fix this myself...
With so many people having the issue you would think that they would recall.
You need to go to a dealership

Not what I wanted to hear, but pretty much what I expected. Thanks.
same problem with same year and model. Is pontiac doing anything to correct?
When I look down at the HUD mirror through the windshield, I can see that a spring has become disconnected as it is just sitting next to the mirror assembly. I may pull apart the dash and fix it myself...
I have the same problem with my 2004 Grand Prix GTP Competition Series. I can see the spring loose in the heads up if I look from outside the windshield. However, I am female with no experience in taking my dash a part to fix it. Lou Sohb Pontiac in Conyers, GA claims It will cost over $500.00 to replace. I found out later from one of their mechanics that they send that stuff out and could not repair it themselves. He was suggesting I find another place. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same problem in my 2004 Grand Prix.
mine had this happen to it recently as well...how much of a pain is it to take apart the dash to get at it? looks like u only have to take out the cluster to get at it from behind?
Mine was working fine until a few weeks ago. Thought it was just a fuse or bulb out but checked the fuses and they are good. After googling the problem discovered the spring issue and surprise surprise that is what's wrong. Has anyone fixed this themselves by taking apart their dash?
I have a 2004 Grand Prix GTP and is having the same problem HUD works can see it if I look down into it from the outside of the car. I have read alot and everyone says you have to get into the dash. If some one knows someone whom can repair cheat. I would like to meet them.
