Yeah - this is definitely a survivor - (don't want to jinx it) - but still runs like a tiger....
Only mod: put an '89 grille in with the double bars - didn't like the single bar.... replaced some badges that have fallen off etc.
Everyone here on the site is really helpful and good people!

Re: '90 SSE Tach Needle
Thanks for all the add'l info
Well, may have figured it out - all other gauges working normally...
from the mechanic:
We replaced the TEVES brake unit with a used one from a Pontiac Bonneville Club member - seems that sometimes when using the brakes a some sort of weird short(?) occurs to make ...

Re: '90 SSE Tach Needle
Thanks very much for the info - I'll have that checked out -
I know this year car has gauge issues too -
I'll let you guys know if anything is found... otherwise runs great...
I don't know why I like this car so much - costing me a few $$ 289,000 miles
Thanks again

'90 SSE Tach Needle
Don't know if this is mechanical or electric -
Every now and then tach rpm needle briefly bounces up and down on its own (no change in engine rpm) and then resumes normal rpm indication.
Recently had harmonic balancer, Crank Sensor, tensioner assembly & serpentine belt replaced...
Any ideas ...

Hello,
Well, I left my lights on overnight - battery dead this morning - had to get a jump....

The #11 fuse is ok - is there another fuse or breaker that I could check - or any ideas ...

Re: '90 SSE Pump? Keeps running
Ah - OK - thanks - I did just have the tires rotated maybe they hit that sensor arm - I'll take the car back to the shop - have them take a look.
Rear end has always been just a little bit low on it's haunches for years... you know given the age of the car - but nothing any normal person would ...

Thanks for the info - if anyone else can confirm - I'll rest a little easier -

The displays work intermitantly - they seem to work more when the weather is humid - leading me to believe that the electrical connections are dirty or loose.
