What does 'traction disabled' on a 1995 Cadillac Sedan DeVille mean and how do you reset it?
It means the traction control is disabled. By default when you start your car it's enabled and will kick in on lose gravel ice or snow disbrituting power to the necessary wheels and cutting engine power to control the car. It also disingages cruise control. To turn it off the switch is in the glove box compartment. Then it will display "traction control off". Now if it says this all the time I would assume you need to take it in to a dealer and have it checked out. Personally I don't care if mine works or not. Just more stuff to fix on these cars.
Can E-85 fuel be used in a 2002 Cadillac Deville?
If it is a Flex Fuel vechicle, Yes. If not, NO. Look in your owner's manual.
It has a bad cam sensor.
Where is the oxygen sensor located in a 1989 cadillac deville?
on the exhaust just in front of the catalytic convertor. Good luck
If the car is still overheating, there may be a clog in the radiator itself. Another possibility is the new water pump sucked sediment in from the radiator, causing it to have a malfunction. Lastly, the radiator fluid may be low or too old to properly cool the engine. Make sure the radiator fan is working.
Where is the starter solenoid located on a 1990 Cadillac deville?
It's attached to the top of the starter motor. It has a purple lead attached to a small bolt
Can a car engine produce condensation under the hood of a car during cold weather?
yes it can on short trips :a car needs at least an hour running to burn off the condensation in crankcase alone
How many pounds of air conditioning freon does a 1990 Cadillac Deville hold?
A 1990 Cadillac Deville air conditioner should hold 46 oz. R12 Freon. This should be verified through the owners vehicle manual.
Why would a 1993 Cadillac Deville passenger window not want to roll up?
if it's not electric it probably fell off the track
It's never a good idea to replace parts as a diagnostic tool. You should first determine what's wrong. A jumper wire to the starter bendix would tell you if the starter is ok. If you're not getting voltage from the keyswitch when you try to start the engine, follow back to see what's not making connection. I'd be suspicious of the neutral lockout switch on the gearshift or possibly even the keyswitch itself, but don't just run off and replace parts until you've checked them out. That just introduces potential for MORE to be wrong. Before, you only had one thing wrong, but with every component that you replace, you introduce the potential for something else to be bad or connected improperly.
Where is the Freeze Plug located and how do you replace it 88 sedan deville?
There are about 8 freeze plugs which one is leaking?
How do you recharge the AC on a 96 Cadillac deville?
Buy a kit at Wal-Mart or auto parts comes with instructions
Is the starter position the same for a 1993 deville without northstar?
I don't believe there are any 93's with the northstar engine. If there are the answer is no, the location is different. Starter is under the intake manifold on Northstar and it is in the front of the engine under the exhaust maniold on the 4.9 litre engine
Can 24 inch rims fit on a 98 cadillac deville?
yes it can with some spings and lifted. i have a 98 deville on 22"s and i jus lifted it and cut alittle
How much does a 1984 Cadillac weight?
Depends the model of the Cadillac. A 1980-1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham coupe gross weight is 4000lbs.-4400lbs.
The selector mechanism needs repair or the doors inside the vent are jammed.
Where can i find diagram for serpentine belt on a 96 sedan deville if diagram is not under hood?
Take digital photo of the old belt before removing it. Print the photo and you have your diagram. It is broke find another Deville and take a photo.

Where is the battery located on your 2004 Cadillac deville?
Under the rear passenger set. It is a sealed special battery that cost about $130+ and has a special vent to take fumes out of the cabin.
I have a 96 DeVille and it had the same problem. What turned out to be wrong was that my car has 2 fans, 1 should come on when start the car and the second comes on when the engine is under a heavy load (ex. stop & go traffic, a/c running on a very hot day). My primary fan wasn't working properly and I had to take to the shop to correct the problem.
that sounds definitely like a water pump,without a doubt. Ck electric cooling fan operation Could be a defective thermostat. Simply have it replaced (cheap to replace, and it may be your only problem). Good luck. The other answers are all possible, but my suggestion is the most basic, and the usual first item to check. Unfortunately the two previous answers will not cause the coolant to spew out when you shut the engine off. The only thing that will cause that is excess pressure in the cooling system. Just about the only thing that will cause that is a head gasket. Most Cadillacs from the early 80s on have aluminum heads. It is very common for an aluminum head to become warped when the engine overheats. When this happens a crack can form between the head gasket and the top of the cylinder block allowing pressure to get into the coolant. This in turn may cause a coolant hose to expand and allow coolant to spew out, it can also cause the radiator cap to release coolant, a good radiator cap is designed to release pressure when the pressure goes above the designated psi. The fact that it is not boiling over while running indicates that most if not all the rest of the cooling system is allowing the water to flow. The most common cause of overheating in engines is that the thermostat gets old and sticks. It only has to stick one time to cause the engine to over heat enough to either damage the head gasket or even cause a crack in the cylinder head. Take the vehicle to a garage and have them do a pressure check on the cooling system. After they have applied pressure to the system they will allow the engine to cool for a short while. If the pressure drops very much they should then remove each spark plug in turn and check the cylinders to see if coolant is in in them. If so that is the evidence that the head gasket is bad. If there is coolant in the crank case oil pan also, that indicates that either the head gasket is completely gone or that the cylinder head is cracked. Depending on your eographical location it could cost around $1000.00 or more per head to have the heads milled and the head gasket replaced. If the car is over 8 years old or has more than 100k miles on it you will be better off to have the water pump, timing chain, camshaft and crankshaft timing gears replaced at the same time. Depending on the cost of such you may wish to check with someplace such as Dr. Motorworx to have the entire engine replaced. It can sometimes cost less to do that. And these shops usually not only guarantee their work, but usually give anywhere from 1 to 3 years or 36k warranty on the engine.
ANSWER
I had the same problem on my 95 Deville and you will not believe how simple the solution was. I discovered it by accident. The battery died and I swapped it out. After removing the battery, I noticed the hose that leads from the reservoir to the radiator had been pinched by the battery. I straightened it out and made sure it was not pinched by the new battery. The car never overheated again, problem solved.
Answer
I had the same problem my car would spill antifreeze but it appeared my radiator was full of gunk so they clean it up and i have not had a problem yet i was glad it was not a head gasket
ANSWER after a car stops moving and you turn it off the temperature will increase as much as 15 degrees causing more pressure to develop in the cooling system could be a loose hose clamp but more than likely its the water pump they leak more when not pumping in my case it was both on my 98 deville
Where is map sensor located on 3100 engine v6 Chevrolet possibly 1997-1999?
The MAP sensor is located on the upper intake manifold plenum towards the rear of the engine compartment. It will be screwed into a metal bracket with two 7mm bolts. There will be a green connector connected from the bottom of the sensor and there will also be a vacuum line connected to the sensor as well. Look to the left of the EGR valve and you will see the MAP sensor.
