What is that?

I saw a picture of a 2000 - 2005 (one of those I think) that had 3 buttons on the driver's side door handle on the inside. What are those buttons for? Just curious.

Re: Cabin air filter?

I just picked one up with housing for $16 from Napa. It is inexpensive so why not give it a try...can't hurt.

Cabin air filter?

I JUST discovered that I have a compartment to put in a cabin air filter in my '03 SLE. I looked in there and it doesn't have the frame for one but I see you can buy one with the filter at Napa pretty cheap (~$15)

Does anyone use or not use this for any reason? Is it worthwhile? I've gone 10 years ...

Re: LIM Gasket In-Process...have questions

So now that I have replaced the LIM gasket with the aluminum ones...should I still use the green coolant vs the orange dex coolant?

Re: LIM Gasket In-Process...have questions

Appreciate your advice...AFTER I pulled the hoses from the tensioner....I realized that i could have just set the tensioner aside and kept these plugged in. Doh. I'm thinking of just trying my luck and putting them back in and hopefully no leaks. The reason I couldn't get those clamps off with ...

LIM Gasket In-Process...have questions

So I planned on starting this project this weekend but on Tuesday night...I noticed my reservoir was completely empty and I had coolant dripping on the ground. When I started the car up...it definitely ran out faster. It was coming from the front of the engine at the LIM gasket region. So I started ...

Re: Brake / Anti Lock / Trac Off Lights!!!

Ok, I replaced the sensor and that wasn't the problem. It was only $7 or so on Amazon so I made a premature purchase. I should have just pulled the sensor and started the car up to see if it still read "Low Brake Fluid". Turns out my float must have been stuck in the brake reservoir. I tapped hard ...

Re: Brake / Anti Lock / Trac Off Lights!!!

Well, I brought my car into the dealer again as they said they needed to "program" my new EBCM. They called me soon after and needed my old part so that they could get numbers off of it to call GM. Apparently GM needs to do something as well to get it to work. So it looks like my problem is solved ...

Re: Brake / Anti Lock / Trac Off Lights!!!

Is the sensor actually IN the brake fluid or is this some sort of magnetic sensor that picks up a "float" of some sort that is inside the resevoir? I ordered a new sensor thru Amazon so I'll try that route first but was wondering if there is some sort of "float" inside the resevoir that could be ...

Re: I'm afraid LIM gasket time has come (2003 SSEi)

I'm in the same boat as you but it will be on my 2003 SLE. So I'm suggesting you change out your UIM gasket as well. In fact, many suggest to change the UIM plenum as well as there are issues with warping, cracking, and the EGR stovepipe area (which can cause these leaks). There are UIM plenums that ...

Re: Brake / Anti Lock / Trac Off Lights!!!

Can I take the sensor off and reconnect without issue? Don't want to lose fluid or have to bleed again if I don't have to.

And yes, same parts replaced what I had. I'll take your advice and call around.

Nevermind, I just went for it and it was straightforward. I lost my torque wrench so that was a guess but we will see.

Stabalizer Shaft Link Questions

So I've had this metal on metal sound when going over bumps with my left front tire and also when turning sometimes (especially when I'm turning AND hit a bump). When I worked on my EBCV/EBCM today...I saw the following:

Re: Brake / Anti Lock / Trac Off Lights!!!

Well, I replaced the EBCM and EBCV today. I was excited to get back in my car and see if my 3 hrs paid off.....nope. All 3 lights were on and stayed on. PLUS, I now have a "Brake Fluid Low" message that stays on even though I bled the brakes and the brakes feel like they did before the repair. I ...

Re: 2003 Aux Input advice

Not sure if I'm missing anything here but looks like you can put it somewhere behind the center console and you plug it into the antenna port in the back of your radio...then the car antenna you just removed from your radio goes into the IS77. Looks like ...

Re: 03 Bonneville Wheels Leak

Yeah, I've never been a fan of the fix-a-flat or slime. I used to change tires back in high school and it wasn't fun to take a tire off that was full of that!

I think I'll just make sure the next time I get new tires that the person changing them will do what they can to the wheel to help

Thanks ...
