Cadillac DeVille

it is not a power hood release, so it will operate with a dead battery, then it has a safety release behind the grille. no power needed.

goodluck

If a water pump is bad they usually leak coolant

Fuel tank must be removed.

It is a very complicated job. if you are talking about the 32 valve dual overhead cam northstar engine. you should go your local autozone or other auto parts store and buy a haynes manual which would be specific about your year and make. inside the book it states they do not advise the do it yourselfer to make that repair. alot of special tools are required. if you can get past those factors. the manual will give you step by step instructions on that repair.

No i been done that tore m car completely up on my way home rims broke off...rim to heavy and big

you don't Not unless you really know what your doing. You would have to pull your engine out to replace both heads. To have a mechanic do it, it would cost upwards of 1,400 to 3,000 dollars because of the work and how long it takes to pull An engine out and replace the heads and put it back together and into the car again I suggest you start saving up ;)

most likely a defective blower module under the hood

the firing order is 18726543....clockwise.

crank or camshaft sensor check for codes

put your beauiful car on the neutral when you're braking you'll stop to stall

The value for a used Cadillac on Kelly Blue Book can vary greatly, so I cannot give you a specific answer. The value will be determined after entering certain criteria such as year, model, make, options, condition amongst other criteria such as location.

press info botton until you come upon "oil life" then press and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds

I installed a resistor inline with my oil pressure sensor.

The resistor in a circuit will usually disperse energy as heat.

I'm having this same problem. Someone told me it could be a switch or the Blend Door is stuck. Where is the blend door?

I believe fuses are in the trunk!

In the coolant recovery tank

you must buy rear view mirror adhesive from an auto parts store. First with a marker trace out orig position of mirror. Scrape remaining silicone rubber and discard. Also clean part still attached to mirror and remove with Allen wrench. Now after cleaning both surfaces put a LIGHT film coating of cement ONLY on little mirror piece which you removed from mirror. Now insure you will be correctly placing correctly, place within the outline you copied onto the windhield. Get the glue on, place it , hold with pressure for about a minute and you should be good as new. Now reattach your mirror. Good luck

How do you remove the driver door panel on a 2002 Cadillac deville?

Probably most1970 Cadillac convertible parts should interchange. 1969 and 1970 converibles were " almost "exactly alike.

You'll want to do this in the bright sunlight or with a flashlight. You access the bulb from underneath the car. The first (bottom) set of lights are the turn signals. The next set up are the head lamps. Reach up and twist the bulb holder to the right (counter-clockwise) then pull it out and down so you can remove the bulb. Pop in the new bulb being careful not to touch the glass of the bulb, only the plastic housing. Holding the plastic housing, reach up and insert the bulb, then secure it by twisting it left (clockwise). The wires will be pointing down. Give it a tug to make sure it's in there tightly. Then test and make sure it works.

It is not an easy job. You need information on how to do it and you find that in a manual on your car from autobooksonline.com.

Do the Drivers side and Passenger side have separate "Heat/Cold" controls?

If "No" then I'm at a lose to explain this one.

If "Yes" then it may be that the controls are malfunctioning. It may be that the control switch/rheostat may be malfunctioning and need to be replaced or that the thermistor (the electronic device used to detect the temperature) on one side or the other is malfunctioning. etc. etc...........

I have a 1995 Buick Regal Custom Sedan, and just today I fixed a similar problem with my heater. Hot air would come out the passenger side vents, and cold air would come out the driver side vents and the rear seat vents under the seats. I found the problem was a connection to the electronically controlled ventilation door was not connected. If this is the case, you may want to check those. The heater core will not heat cold air that is moving at 60 miles per hour, which can cause the cabin to become quite cold. !

Answering "Why would the AC blow cold air on the drivers side while hot air blows on the passengers side even when all controls are set on cold 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora ?
