04 Envoy issues
I have a 2004 Envoy XL and the car has been a nightmare. I owned this car since it was brand new, has about 60k miles on it. I have a few ongoing issues...if anyone can supply any direction for any of these issues it would be greatly appreciated...

Re: 04 Envoy issues
The dash switch for 4x4 needs to be replaced, the blower relay resistor up under the glove bax is bad, sounds like the dash dimmer switch may be turned off or is bad.

Re: 04 Envoy issues
Swapped out the 4x4 selector with a new one ($25 on ebay) and that is working. Any ideas on what can be wrong with the dash lights and washer pump?

Re: 04 Envoy issues
Check the dash dimmer switch see if you can brighten it up, look for 12v and ground to the washer pump when attempting to operate it.

Re: 04 Envoy issues
Dimmer works fine for all the remaining lights...so I would say it isn't the dimmer.
the washer pump has both the 12v and ground attached. Any other suggestion? I am at a loss. |

Re: 04 Envoy issues
The washer pump must be bad if you have 12v and ground to it. The dash lite circuit in the cluster could be bad or the plug at the cluster loose.

Re: 04 Envoy issues
washer pump is new actually...second one. The problem is it has constant power even when the car is off. I had to remove the relay at the fuse box to stop it...and this means I can't use it. From my understanding there is another relay for the washer pump attached to wiper motor..is this accurate?

Re: 04 Envoy issues
Okay after 3 years of passing inspection with the washer pump issue, they finally caught it and said they have to fix to pass the car. Kind of good and bad...but at least it will be fixed...so I thought. The Envoy has been in the shop for 3 days now and they still can't find the issue. They replace the wiper motor, relay, and switch. They said now the washer pump isn't constantly running, but it also won't run on demand...runs inconsistently...WTF! Ho can GMC make such a POS car. Any ideas? The shop is giving up and my next stop is the dealer...and my wallet is already empty.

Re: 04 Envoy issues
Sounds to me like the "shop" you took it to just threw parts at it and did not bother with any diagnosis.

Re: 04 Envoy issues
Unless someone posts here that had the exact problem resolved we cannot diagnose this remotely, 3 days in a shop and they couldn't, we certainly would be severely handicapped from here, no?
