Several Problems with my 98 GT!!!

[brownsville1]

HELP!!!! I am having several annoying problems with my 98 Grand Prix which I have had for 4 years it has 144,000 miles.

The first problem is my key comes out speradically. I never know when it will release.

Second my dual zone system climate control was blowing hot on the passenger side but cool air on the driver side no matter what temp it was set at. Now my entire system is blowing hot. runaround

The third problem is my cd player shows E20 no matter what kind of cd I put in and in the last month my radio just goes up and down randomly. I mean I can be driving and the thing just goes to the highest volume level or it will go down. This has actually messed up one of my front speakers.

Somebody or somebodies please help I'm loosing my mind I love my car but its driving me crazy every time I drive it and thats not cool!!!!

Possible shift interlock problem at the center console or at the steering column key release solenoid. Ever spilled coffee or soda at the center console?

Start by checking the refrigerant charge at the low side port. Sounds like the refrigerant charge may be low.

CD Errors

E20 : Focus Error Cause(s): The CD player cannot focus on the disc or there is an internal focus problem. Correction(s): Try cleaning the disc or using a new disc. Make sure the disc is loaded correctly. The road could be too rough or there is too much humidity. If the problem is not corrected, service the unit at an ACDelco® Service Center.
