1996 Grand Prix flasher units, gauge, head and fog lights, and transmission...?

Question

need to change flasher units for the signals and maybe the hazards...where are they?

also, i think a light in my instrument panel is blown, as the fuel gauge is much dimmer than the others in the dark...how hard is it to get at these bulbs?

...is there a way to decloud my head and fog lamps? i dont want to have to repolish them every 2 months...

finally, the transmission shifts very hard from 1-2, especially under heavy throttle. it pulls sharply to the left on the shift. is this just torque steer, or am i looking at replacing a halfshaft in a few thousand miles?

Answer 1

The flasher unit is located under the dash near the steering column. The turn signal flasher is circular . When i comes to the instrument panel  being dim. There is multiple light bulbs in the panel. Remove the trim around the panel and then remove the screws holding the panel in. disconnect cannon plugs. Then you see the socket holding the bulbs in. !/4 turn counter clockwise and then remove , install new bulb and reinstall .Comes to the tranny have it power flushed it solves allot of problems. Headlight your local autoparts has what you need

Answer 2

the flasher unit is gunna be under the hood and a big black or gray unit.... the bulbs are really easy to get at autozone but a pain to have to put in most likely the whole dash has to come out to pt them in,,, the headlight issues would be better to replace them once they get water soaked or fog up the only way is to put some glue between the two surfaces.... less trouble to buy a set at a junk yard of not looking to pay brandnew prices....the tranny i would have to leave that to someone else that knows more about them... but to say id say that the pulling is deff torque steer and the tranny may need to be rebuilt... gud luck with that pontiac.....
