What would make the heater in a 1998 Cadillac Catera not blow out hot air?

did u ever discover the problem?...My catera is having the same issue... Thx Try taking the cap off coolant tank, and running enging till all the air bubbles come out, as it sounds like you have a air lock in your cloolant lines. Water control Valve, very common on catera's. about $90 dealer only part. in my case it was my oil cooler, it had blowen a seal and was mixing my oil and coolant, the oil cooler is located in the valley of the engine, and installed would cost almost $1100.


How can i disable my 02' forester alarm When i lock the doors and get out it will honk once and i would like to get rid of the honking Is there a wire that can just be pulled?

I'm having this problem, myself. Here's what I've discovered so far. Don't pull or cut any wires. Any interruption in the alarm's electrical sytem will prevent your car from starting, period. A Subaru dealer can disable the alarm with a remote device that delivers a signal to the alarm system. My dealer wants to charge me a hundred bucks for the service. Once the alarm has been disabled, it will remain that way until you disconnect the battery for any reason. When you reconnect the battery, the alarm system reverts to default mode--in other words, ON. I'm still working on this. If I learn anything more, I'll add it.
