95 Eldorado fuel info display not correct?
Well after replacing the alt and it is back charging I noticed the the fuel gauge works after adding some gas to it but now over on the left side that would show you your gas mileage and how much further you could go is now just showing "LO" That was what it was showing while we were working on the alt and I knew it was very low on gas and as son as the alt was working I put in $30 and then back to the shop to work on some other things and the gas gauge went past 1/2 tank but it stayed as it was?
I even used my code reader to reset everything and that did no good. The only electrical plug that was messed with was the one on the alt and it is just a one wire type.
Now I did screw up when I spliced in the new plug and sent the wire from the car the F pin on the alt and then after I realized that was wrong I re spliced it to the L pin and then the alt started charging. I can't see what that would have cause any problem I don't think and as I said it was already showing the "LO" way before that.
As long as the gas gauge works then fine and that is the way the rest of our cars are but when you get use to something that came handy then you would like it to work like it should.
Any ideas guys?

Seville severe voltage drop issue
Hey guys! First time I've ever posted here, and first time I've ever posted on a forum. I want to start by saying I have replaced the battery, the alternator, and all the wires coming from the positive lead. The second thing I'll go ahead and throw out there is, the voltage draw I get happens while I'm driving down the road. I have to watch the volts all the way to wherever I am going, because at some of the most random points in my commute to work or school my seville will drop from 14.2 all the way down to 12.1 and then it drops to 11.7 and says "Battery No Charge." Now NORMALLY, the voltage eventually goes back up to 14.1 or 14.2, but sometimes it just fluctuates and once it died. I need help to fix this ASAP. Any help will be appreciated.

traction control light on
Since the guy I got my Seville from got the car the traction control light has been on, which from my under standing also means the car is running in 2nd through 4th gears only. No first gear.
It was suspected is was the wheel speed sensor in the driver side wheel bearing as it was throwing a code for it. Both front wheel bearings have been replaced and the code is gone now, but still have the traction control light on.
There are still abs codes and stability system codes, and I am thinking they are part of the issue. What all does the system on these cars take into account for the traction control system?
Also how much wear is being put on the trans with no first gear, assuming the information I've been given is correct. Car seems to take off fine and I honestly really wouldn't notice no first gear if I hadn't been told about it.

Climate control display 95 SLS
I have a lighting problem with the climate control display. The analog portion of the dash lights is fine but the display for inside and outside temp on the right side and the MPG and fuel remaining along with the bottom center trip meter and odometer and system monitoring led display is very dim. If I tap on the dash above the radio it may flicker brighter but goes dim soon after. When starting the car, the fuel gauge and display will fluctuate or the needle of the fuel gauge will bounce and once running will stabilize. I suspect a loose connection or ground but am not sure where to look first. I am looking for past experience with this or suggestions where to start.

1995 STS Won't Start... Occasionally...
Hey guys, I know it's hard to diagnose without the car but maybe you all can point me in the right direction. My 95 STS just went *CLICK* one day about two weeks ago when I tried to start it. I had just put in a new battery, not OEM which I am still kicking myself over but so it goes.
Anyway, I jumped it the next day and it started right up. I moved it to a different spot, shut it down, waited a minute and Viola, started right up. Gave me no trouble for two weeks, the DIC shows 14.4+ charging when cold and 13.5 at cruise and operating temp.
Yesterday, took it about a mile to the store, was in and out in less than ten minutes and *CLICK*.:mad:
I carry a rechargeable jump start battery in the trunk, got it out, hooked it up an VROOM, started like new.
ANY suggestions would be welcome on this, I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment so a trip to the mechanic is a bit out unless I have to.
Thanks.
P.S. I forgot, all the lights work as does the pwr locks and trunk when this happens, not like that really matters I suppose but still.

Looking to Replace '92 Seville Steering Wheel - Will Older Model's Wheels Fit?
Ummm, I meant will newer model wheels fit?
Actually, looking to replace both steering wheel and shifter grip. I've searched and searched the Internet and all I can find in that year for replacement parts are either used (up and crappy) or after-market sew-on fakes.
So, will more modern caddy wheels and grips fit my '92 Seville?
Best,
David

Need Black logo under hood insulation pad for 1989 STS
I just bought a 1989 STS and it appears that, at one time, it threw a serpentine belt. This ripped a strip down the passenger side area of the hood insulation. Does anyone know where I can buy a new or used replacement?

Coolant Leak under passenger side engine
I read this could be a seeping gasket on the coolant crossover on the Northstar engine. It leaks only when cooled down, seems like, and it leaves a small spot of coolant every morning. I have added about a pint a week of coolant back in so at the moment it's an annoyance.
What am I looking at replacing that gasket? Should I try Bars leak first or just jump in and change the gasket?

High Idle in Cold Weather
Last year when it got real cold my 99 SLS began to idle very high (1500). This would come and go, and sometimes would settle down when I stopped and started the engine. There are no codes showing up on this. During the summer things seemed to be fine. Now that winter is back I am starting to see the same issues. The car has about 180,000 on it. I tend to think its the IAC but wondered if someone had this happen and knows what the issue is. I hate to be a parts changer to try to fix the issue

P0410 code
Hi folks,
I have a p0410 code (SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM) that comes on. QUESTION: Is the electric air pump suppose to be running all the time or does it come on when the engine is cold and then turns off. How would you check it to see if it's functioning correctly?
Thanks,

1999 STS tech question
Does anyone know or remember if the 99 STS had a belly pan under the engine and transaxle ? GM may not have called it a belly pan and it is most likely hidden under some obscure nomenclature. If it did, what is it called and where would I be able to look up the part number? A picture maybe?
Thank you for your assistance!

Help, Direct Fit or Universal Replacement CAT, '92 ETC
Anyone have recommendations for a replacement catalytic converter on a '92 ETC, 4.9L, dual exhaust? Looks like the choice comes down to direct fit or a universal fit, with universal going lighter on the wallet by a factor of x2. Not in Cali, so don't have to worry about that crap. Plan on purchasing the CAT and having a local auto repair weld it on, complete the install.
I sound like a Rush concert during a drum solo in gear with the foot on the brake. It would do a mouthwash commercial proud.
Any help would be appreciated...:)

Eastern Catalytic converters vs. OEM
Has anyone had any experience with the Eastern Catalytic converters? I am wondering if it's worth spending the $250 to fix mine or is it just a band aid that's going to fail sooner than an OEM one (which costs well over $1000). I watched several videos produced by Eastern and it seems like they could be a good option for a direct replacement (also saw it on Rock Auto). Thanks.

Car wash and parking/emergency brake
Re: auto car washes, I noticed after going through one recently in my '03 STS that the emergency brake on my car no longer functioned. Not sure if it was a coincidence or a cause and effect but it's curious, nonetheless.
