Re: Argh !!! Stuck wheel bearing!! Help

That's kinda what I thought, but figured I would ask. There just doesn't seem like there is enough room with the axle shaft attached. Can I move the axle and cv joint around to get the connector through there??

Re: Argh !!! Stuck wheel bearing!! Help

Well I have been soaking it with PB Blaster for two days. And I spray where the axle nut was up through the splines and also where it mated with the knuckle. This car was bought in Michigan so I imagine the winters of salt isn't doing me any favors. This actually is not on my Bonneville GXP, it's on ...

Light bulb replacement

How do you replace the light bulb on dash behind the ignition switch?? It lights the key hole in the ignition switch. Does the switch need to be removed?? To accomplish this?

Re: Dome lights stay on.

Update.... removed switch as you suggested and the dome lights come on when only the drivers door is opened. And stays on until RAP shuts them off in the allotted time.

Re: Dome lights stay on.

Ok, you are saying unplug the switch from behind the dash?? What's the easiest way to get to the back side of switch. I don't want to break anything.

Re: Dome lights stay on.

The sun load sensor is working properly, I checked it as you suggested. No I don't have a Tech 2. Where would you suggest I could obtain one. I been thinking about the purchase of one. Especially since the Bonneville age, and my Grand Prix GXP isn't far behind it. Although it has considerably fewer ...

Re: Dome lights stay on.

I checked the floors, and the battery area again for water and all was dry. ( it rained heavily in Indianapolis earlier ) I also checked the light sensor on the dash and it works properly. Are there pictures of the splice backs?? I would check those, and my grounds making sure that they are tight ...

Re: Dome lights stay on.

No evidence of mice/ rodents. I will check the floor again tomorrow, the battery area is dry and the car sat at a slight incline. So I figured water would collect there. Will check and advise.

Re: Dome lights stay on.

I connected the battery in the proper order. I noticed the radio would do this some last summer, and either shutting the drivers door, or another door, would shut off the radio. It started with the dome lights when installing the new battery, btw the old battery was completely dead. But the car sat ...

Re: Dome lights stay on.

They radio is hit and miss shutting off when drivers door opens. When that happens I open another door and it shuts off... The lights come on during the day, ( I know they only come on with the knob or when it's dark ) the know is not in the on position. They stay on until the RAP shuts them off.

Re: Dome lights stay on.

I see the leak, but not sure if it's a hard line or hose, I am assuming that there is a hard line, what I see is rusty and wet to touch.

Re: Dome lights stay on.

Oh, I didn't think about that. I will investigate. Although there are times the radio won't shut off until I open another door besides the driver door. On top of this I have a brake line leaking I need to track down and repair. Thanks Lane. I will check and advise.

Re: Dome lights stay on.

Yes, all the lights are on... front and rear, ( reading lamps ) foot well. And the radio stays on until I open and close another door. But the all the lights stay on after closing a rear door and the radio turns off.
