One of the GF's friends is having major issues with her '01 Impala, here are the issues that I got from her.
1. Won't start right away
2. Tailights won't work (has brake lights)
3. Needles won't always work (tach, speedo)
4. when she turns the car off, only the engine shuts off, not the electronics. Once they stayed on for 3 hours.
5. Sometimes sounds like there is water running through pipes around the dash (don't think this is a related problem)
This is kinda obviously an electrical problem, but I haven't seen the car to check on blown fuses, and simple stuff like that. Could be an issue with the PCM, but that doesn't explain the tailights, unless that circuitry is running through there. Anyone got an idea????
TIA
