Re: 2001 bonneville sunroof seal

Once again you are a wealth of knowledge... Thanks. Found a sunroof for $80 in mint condition - I guess that glass is on quite a few different vehicles. Only other question, the sunroof visor/sunscreen fabric is falling off of it, can it be removed without pulling the entire headliner down? Thanks ...

Re: 2001 bonneville ssei crank, no start

*SOLVED*
Upon testing the icm and the signals I found my test light would not light the 3x signal. I was skeptical since I changed the crank sensor last year, but based on the tests I dug a little deeper and got my scanner to tell me that the 3x signal was absent. So if the icm worked I was down to ...

2001 bonneville ssei crank, no start

Did the UIM, LIM, waterpump, and valve covers... While I was in there I had the rockers installed/changed. Ran great. 2 days later while driving the car it instantly died. I coasted to a stop, car restarted 10 seconds later with no problems, no codes. A week later, I backed my car out of the garage ...

Re: AFTERMARKET rim ideas please

Much thanks for everyone's 5 cents.... I have been trying to find a decent set of gxp rims - yes they aren't easy to find - for a decent price. I've been punching around on the tire rack/discount tire app but... nothing really pops out. Let me know if anyone close to OHIO has a set of GXP rims at a ...

AFTERMARKET rim ideas please

Ok, I need ideas...
I have a black 2001 SSEi - aftermarket rim ideas - I'm tired of polishing the stock rims and replacing the worlds most expensive and rare center caps from theft and falling off. I could have bought 2 sets of rims by now. Please give me some ideas, pics anything. Thanks for all ...

Re: Gas Gauge Fix -- Fuel Pump Removal -- 2000-2005

Well, did this today, however because of some differences in the GM replacement unit there might need to be some amendments to these steps... it now comes with a harness that you have to wire in... FUN!

2001 ssei phantom air bag light and good price on condenser

Ok, couldn't find any info on this so if I overlooked it please post a link.... I start up the car, for a minute the airbag light stays on, then goes off. Then sometimes I hit a bump it comes on, but goes off again. I'm guessing a short somewhere, anyone had any experience with this?

RAW OIL SMELL INSIDE WHEN AT IDLE

Ok, I don't see any leak, but at idle I can smell burning oil in the cabin of the SSEi. Turn to Recirc and it goes away after a few minutes. No drips on the ground.... etc. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I've noticed this is a HUGE problem with these cars...etc. But no one has a SURE FIRE solution that solved THEIR problem. Being I don't know the most about these cars I was hoping someone could point in a direction - oh well, time to go my own direction. My struts were bad anyway, so they got ...

Re: Oil Pressure

Yep, I just fixed this. Reading way too high and LEAKING OIL! The sender starts leaking and messes up the reading. Fix two problems with one repair - and it's cheap and easy!

2001 SSEI front end shimmy shake

Working on ironing out all the quirks of the new bonneville, took it on the freeway for the first time and noticed above 50 mph the steering wheel / front begins to shimmy/vibrate - not a violent shake. Recently replaced the struts and there was no excess steering part movement. Also, the front ...

Re: 2001 SSEI heated seats and ac

Compressor wont kick on so pressure is probably low, I know jeeps are terrible for evaporators and I was wondering if GM's were the same. Working out some bugs today: Rear window regulators not working, got a quote $175 each?? Holy cow. Can these be "repaired" or do I need to shell out the bucks ...

Re: 2001 SSEI heated seats and ac

Thanks a bunch, I'll give the tps reset a shot as the tires are all close - with that said, I don't know about as close as 1-2 psi. As for the AC, not cold. I'm pretty decent with cars and repairs but have no experience with a bonneville so I was just looking for a little cheat sheet to get started ...

New member/SSEI owner looking for a little advice on the heated seats not working, AC not working and solving tps sensor warning light... Seems the heated seat light comes on, but then goes off after about 2 seconds. Don't really know where to start on that one. I'm a previous jeep owner, as for the ...
