99 olds aurora

driving lights came on by their self and caused battery to go dead. Battery was tested and is good. Hearing a strange clicking noise around the stirring wheel.

Answer · Dec 07, 2008

Don't replace the entire switch, clean any of the relays or take the switch apart. You'll notice at the back of that switch where wires are attached to the blades that they are exposed. My guess is that you'll also notice the tilt steering wheel "release" is bare metal and in very close proximity. Insulate the lever with something (I cut apart a plastic water bottle, melted it in half, then fused the ends with a butane soldering torch) and put everyhting back together). The blades at the back of the switch are arcing across to the tilt lever.

voila

2005 Buick LeSabre heated seat not working

I press the button for heated seat and its makes clicking noise, and control shows it's on the high heat position, but there is no heat.
Normally, I don't hear the clicking noise when I change from on/off/low/high heat. i have a 1999 oldsmobile aurora. the passenger heated seat light works, but the seat produces no heat. There is also a clicking noise every 20 seconds or so, only when the heated seat is turned on. Tried changing fuses, but that didnt change anything. Any ideas...

Answer · Feb 24, 2009

The heated seats have relays that run them. Not quite sure where they are located but. That noise is the relay clicking on and off. They are actually pretty loud. Look for faulty connections to and from the relay and check battery power to both sides of the relay.

99 olds aurora pass key problem

son's car has problem starting...used to wait 10-20 mins and try again. security light just blinks and car won't start. help?

Answer · Jan 16, 2009

There is most likely a problem with the tiny sensor in the ignition lock cylinder, it is not reading the key chip and locks u out, the problem is u can't just replace the lock cylinder u need a dealer only re-programm of the pass key system since the control module will not recognize the new lock code, catch 22 if u ask me. Do u have more than one key for the car? do both do this?

coolant not circulating

coolant not circulating / fans working, water pump working and thermostat is new.
Sound of water slushing in the firewall area.

Answer · Aug 25, 2009

I assume you know that the only circulation happening unti lthe thermostat opens at its nominal temperature is through the heater core if in use. If peering into the radiator opening, you will not see more than the most minimal movement until the thermostat opens.

You may have an airlock in the system and it could be in the heater lines so if you have done a coolant change or had the system open, you need to purge the system of air.
If you have no radiator cap like many newer vehicles, this isn't as easy to accomplish. You will have to pass through several cycles of warmup and cool-down and each time refill the reservoir to the marked level with coolant mix. During this, you will have to have the heater control set to warm the interior so that the coolant is forced to circulate throughout the whole system.

Answer · May 25, 2010

Purchase 1 more can and allow it enough time to fully get into the system. You can have the car running while this is happening so it warms the can allowing it to charge faster. Let me know.

remove front door panel 1999 olds aurora

Answer · Jul 18, 2010

remove the two screws at the bottom of the door panel, and remove the plug around the door lever and remove the screw. Now lift up on the door panel. it needs to come up about an inch before you can pull it off, you will need to pull the insert out around the lever and pull the lever to get the door panel to clear.
