Some Pontiac GTO owners report experiencing intermittent electrical issues caused by chafed wires behind the glove box, which can lead to problems such as flickering lights, malfunctioning gauges, or even a complete loss of power. These symptoms manifest as sporadic electrical failures, making it essential for owners to address them promptly to avoid further damage to the electrical system. To diagnose and repair these issues, owners should carefully inspect the wiring harness for signs of damage and repair or replace any chafed wires identified.
