ignition grinding
Tuesday, April 17, 2007 5:11 PM
When I turn the ignition key on in my 98 Cavalier,3 speed auto,a grinding sound appears to come from the steering column.It doesnt happen all the time,maybe 1 in 4 times.It sounds like something is energizing,it lasts about 3 seconds then dissapears.Any ideas on what this is,do I have to worry about electrical problems or maybe even a fire.My 4 yr old daughter is always with me so its got me a little bit worried.Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks.

There is an ignition recall on this year of Cavalier.

Make sure it has been complied with, just in case it is the Ignition wiring faulty.

Scroll down to the third one on the list.
