What would make a fuel gauge fluctuate on a GM vehicle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a floating fuel gauge issue and occurs in most GM vehicles. This happens when the fuel gauge assembly in the gas tank is set as a "swing arm" configuration. "What's that" you ask? Well, open the tank of your toilet and look inside. That big, usually black ball that open and closes the water valve in the tank is pretty much the same as the fuel gauge float assembly in your gas tank. As the car moves forward or is slowed to a stop, the fuel sloshes around. (to the back of the car under acceleration and to the front when you stop.) As you accelerate, the fuel gauge in the dash seems to show you dumped some gas behind you! But as the car slows down, the gauge shows that it finally caught up to you! This is normal for most cars built by GM because they employ this type of system on almost all of their cars. Don't worry. As your ride levels off, so will the gauge.

Under the panel on the dash that has the red flashing LED and the auto headlight sensor - you will need to remove the trim on the side of the windshield to remove the panel. The onstar box is silver with Motorola words in my vehicle.

To change the signal light on a Buick Terazza remove the headlight above the turn signal. Open the hood, there is one bolt/screw on the the top-outside edge of headlight and a 4--5 " L shaped fastner on the other side. Turn the L fastner and pull up and out. Now work the headlight out around the seals. The turn signal is directly below. Turn the light socket counter clockwise to remove bulb.

A picture of the fuse panel is in the owners manual. You can also find a picture in a repair manual that you find at your local auto part dealer.

Where is the traction control sensor on a 2005 Buick terraza?

There is no such thing as a 'traction control sensor'.

But, If you are referring to the "Traction Control System", there are Many components that make up the Traction Control System.

The heart of Traction Control System is the "EBCM" (Electric Brake Control Module). The EBCM monitors the wheel speed sensors for Drive Wheel Slip. When drive wheel slip is noted while the brake is not applied, the EBCM will enter "Traction Control Mode".

When vehicle enters Traction Control Mode, the EBCM sends a request to the "PCM" (Power Control Module) to reduce the amount of torque to the drive wheels. If the engine torque reduction does not eliminate drive wheel slip, the EBCM will actively apply the drive wheel brakes.

The EBCM in the 05' Buick Terraza is located on the "BPMV" (Brake Pressure Modulator Valve). In other words, the EBCM is mounted on the Antilock Brake Controller.

How do you repair an automatic sliding door on a 1999 Pontiac Montana that will not open automatically?

First thing to do is to check that the automatic door opening function has not been accidentally turned off. There are a row of toggle switches for various functions adjacent to the dome light in the headliner near the rear view mirror. One of these toggles turns the auto door on and off. Sometimes kids can get to this and toggle it by accident. If you can't determine which switch is associated with the door by looking at the image on the button check the owners manual for description.
If you have checked the on/off toggle switch and it is "on" but the door still does not open/shut automatically try this solution:
Disconnect the positive batter cable for a few min. check the fuse. Have done the disc. on mine and it worked fine again.
