You need a GM water pump removal tool. It goes on a 1/2 inch drive ratchet. Be sure to turn clockwise to loosen the old pump. You can get the tool at Napa for about 40 bucks.
The wiring is wrong. Same thing happened to me and I replaced a relay cluster and fixed the wiring it's most likely the yellow wire or memory.
Your dashboard is probably loose. Consider taking it to an autobody shop. What I did for temporary fix was stuff some paper towels(ripped up) in between the dash and the windshield. Press it in good and hard

How do you fix a leaking oil filter on a 1984 4100cc deVille?
First U check ABOVE the filter 2 b sure the intake manifold & Valve covers aren't Leaking.. then U check 2 c if the mounting surface is flat & the threaded connector is tight & if that doesn't work U might need a new filter
If after checking above, the filter, as Marv pointed out, you find that it is indeed the filter that is leaking, replace the filter. Clean the mounting surface throughly, oil the filter gasket, and tighten the filter 3/4 turn after it touches the mounting surface. No more, no less! A leaking filter is almost always caused by incorrect installation.

How does one replace front brake pads on a 1996 Cadillac Deville Concours?
The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
I found nothing particularly different about servicing the front breaks on my 1996 Cadillac DeVille. They are standard GM. If you have any experience with replacing disk breaks, you should be all set. You will need the standard tools and possibly a Chilton service manual for guidance if you are a novice.

also,chiltons has a repair manual as well. you can also borrow these books from you're local library. good luck!

four screws behind the state plat and yes like this through 2004
How do you change the rear brake pads on a 1999 Cadillac DeVille?
After you have jacked the car and removed the tire you will see the caliper and rotor assembly.
To replace the pads only:
1. You will need a 12mm socket or wrench
2. In the back of the caliper is a single 12mm bolt head located near the bottom of the caliper
3. Remove bolt
4. This portion of the caliper assembly will swing upward allowing you access to change out the pads. (Note: there is only one bolt to remove for pad only replacement.)
5. You will need a disc caliper rewind tool or brake piston tool. The piston is a solid surface with 2 slots for turning the caliper. The one I used is a universal tool that cost $5 to $10.
6. Turn/Tighten the caliper.
7. Remove old pad, insert new pads
If you are also removing or resurfacing the rotor, then follow these instructions:
1. You will need an 18mm socket and 18mm box end wrench
2. There are 2 bolts with 18mm heads holding the caliper assembly in place.
3. The parking brake line runs close to the top bolt. This is the line with a spring at the end.
4. I used the box end wrench to break loose both the top and bottom bolt, and then used the socket to remove.
5. I used a deep socket, so I had to apply some pressure to get it under the parking brake spring and on the bolt head. Be careful not to use too much force as you do not want to damage the parking brake assembly.
6. Remove the bolts
7. Remove the rotor, and then replace when ready.
I bought new rotors, so I simply held the caliper while swapping out the rotors. However, you may need to suspend the caliper if you plan to machine the rotors first. A wire hanger will work fine for this.
Get a manual from DISCOUNTAUTOREPARMANUALS.COM and it will tell you how to use a special tool required to compress the rear calipers which is rentable from parts stores.
It is very easy. Remove the wheel, remove the two caliper bolts that hold the caliper to the wheel assembly. Slip caliper off the rotor. Once the caliper is removed from the rotor, take the spring clamp off and remove and replace the inner pad. Put the old pad against the new one and use a C-clamp to push the inner pad back into the caliper. Remove the C-clamp and put the outer pad into the caliper and replace the holding springs. Reverse the removal procedure. Before you drive the car make sure you pump the brakes to get rid of spongy feeling. It should take about 25 minutes all total.
Where is the radiator fan relay located on a 1994 Ford Thunderbird?
I'm trying to find it for my '95. The Haynes manual seems to indicate that it may be part of a larger assembly. Checker couldn't find a cooling fan relay in their parts database. I wonder if that box up front of the air cleaner is a bunch of relays?
Why would one electric door lock not work on a 1991 Cadillac DeVille and how can you fix it?

What can cause the blower motor to stop working on a 96 Cadillac Sedan DeVille?
1. electrical short 2. bad switch 3. dead motor
AnswerMore than likely it's a bad motor. Cadillac revised this version with more heat tolerable one on later models. I just replaced mine with the new version and it works great.. a little tricky to remove, but well worth doing yourself.
Unplug the switch from the blow motor and look at the connections. They tend to fry on the 95-97 cadillacs. There are three prons in that plug and one of them are not getting a good conection. It might solve your problem.
My mechanic found a bad ground wire that attaches behind the alternator. The motor plug had been fried, trying to make the ground through it. It also cured my cruise control problem.
I have a 1979 Cadillac DeVille and no air was coming out of the vents forcefully. I checked the connection to the Climate Control Switch (the on and off control for Heat/AC & Fan speed) and found a loose connection in the wiring that sends Signals for the Climate Control as it was called back then.
Where is the turn signal flasher located on a 1997 Sedan DeVille D'elegance Cadillac?
Most flashers are mounted on or near the fuse panel under the dash. However if you still can't find the flasher you can call any auto repair shop or Cadillac dealer and ask for this type of info. , EzForJesus On the 97 has 2 fuse panels, one under the hood on the driver's side and the other is attached to the rear of the back seat on the drivers side. I don't think the flasher is located by either.
On my 1996 DeVille, the flasher is a 3 prong, square unit that is located just above the emergency break pedal on the inside face of the lower dash panel. To replace this flasher you should start by removing the 2, 9/32" bolt head retaining screws holding the black access panel just above the break pedal. Lay down on your back and look up inside the dash. You may find the round hazard flasher high just above your head, this is not it. Stick you hand up along the panel in front of the emergency break pedal. Locate with your hand a 2 inch long square relay box and move it to unhook it from it's clip. (If the flasher is the factory flasher it will have a metal clip retaining it under the dash. Your new part will not have this clip.) Route the old flasher and wire down so that it hangs from under the dash. Now you can see it and disconnect it. There are multiple connectors, but only three of them line-up and actually have metal receptors inside the socket. Take note of the removal of the flasher so you are not confused during reinstallation. I think the other connectors are for additional features not needed in the US. Take the part to the parts store or just replace with new one. Relocate the flasher safely up in the dash in relatively the same place and make sure it won't move around. return the black panel to its position above the break pedal and replace the 2, 9/32" retaining screws.
