How do you change the bulbs in the buttons on the steering wheel on a olds aurora?

It's more "fun" than it should be.
You can't get at them from the engine bay. You've got to remove the plastic grill on the front of the car, to get at other screws, and take a few screws out that hold the entire headlight assembly in. Do not unscrew any of the screws above or below the lights. These are for adjusting the angle of the headlights. You'll have to readjust them if you do. Not a big deal, just unnecessary if you don't touch them.

There should be 2 screws on either side of the headlight assembly. Spray some penetrating fluid on them. I broke one with very little pressure because I didn't. Sheared the head right off the shaft.

Once you get the headlight assembly out the bulbs come out with a quarter turn of the socket. Remember not to touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil will create hot spots and it could crack the bulb. If you do then clean it with a high percentage alcohol before putting it in.

I just did this for the first time on my car a few weeks ago. I lost a high beam. I replaced them both, because they're only about 20 bux each, and kept the old good one as an emergency spare.

This all took about half an hour and I cleaned the grill really good because I had to take it off. Why not while you're in there.

My directions may be a little off as I'm not looking at the car now but.... I offer you this:

-Can't do it from the engine bay (this turns a 30 sec job in to a 10 min job each side.) I know it looks like you can reach through the hold in the frame but really don't bother. You'll just get dirty, cut and possibly break your new bulb if you even manage to get the old one out.

-Try not to end up "adjusting" the screws that aim the headlight or you'll have to readjust once you're done.

-Don't touch the glass part of the new bulb. BTW these have got stuff inside that you don't want to get inside you so don't break them, old or new.

Good luck.

I'm not a mechanic nor do I claim to have any idea what I'm doing. I'm an enthusiastic DIY'r and with a screwdriver you too can change your own headlights.
Unless you've got one of those new Renaults or Peugots or whatever that requires you to remove half of the car.

How do you change a water pump on a 1995 Oldsmobile aurora?

It is a SOB job. There is a plate in front of the fuel pump that has to be removed to get access to the top bolt of the fuel pump. . It has a number of bolts holding the front of the AC compressor and air pump. The Compressor had metric bolts. Get that off and it is not so bad to remove and replace the fuel pump and hoses.

How do you change the starter on a 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora?

Hey Deborah==Remove the neg battery cable then the wires on the solonoid. Then take out the 2 bolts that hold it on. goodluckJoe

Disconnoct the negative battery terminal. After the car is up on appropriate support so one can work under it, the four bolts, 10MM, that hold the torque converter cover on must be remover and the cover removed. Then, put blocking or a small hydraulic floor jack under the starter and remove the front bolt that holds the heat shield to the starter. Then remove the two bolts,15MM, on the gear end of the motor. Slowly lower the starter down until the wiring can be removed. Be careful the stud(s) stays in place when the nut is removed. (Also when re-installing the new starter). Reverse the process to install the new starter.

How do you replace the alternator in a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5L?

This is not a simple repair, however it just takes time. You need to remove the cross member covering the radiator and then remove the radiator cooling fans. There is a retaining clip on the passenger side near the bottom that must be removed to free one of the transmission cooling lines (I believe).

The instructions say you need to remove the AC compressor - however I was able to remove the alternator without doing this. It is a VERY tight fit but it is possible.

Probably took about 4 hours to do the whole thing. The GM service guide was a help.

How do you jump start a dead battery on a 2003 Oldsmobile aurora?

I copied this from my own blog.

Jumper Cable SafetyYou have a dead battery and need a jump start. There is the right way and the wrong way to accomplish a jump start safely.

Because of the potentially severe hazards due to improper use of jumper cables it must be done correctly. Auto batteries contain Sulphuric Acid which can blind you, or at the very least burn your skin. Also auto batteries vent off Hydrogen Gas which is highly explosive even from the slightest spark. Because of this danger it is critical to attach the jumper cables in a precise sequence.

1. Park the vehicle with the GOOD battery close to the vehicle with the BAD battery but do not let the vehicle touch each other. Make sure the cables are not routed so as to touch any moving parts, such as a fan blade.

2. Attach the jumper cable Positive + terminal to the GOOD battery Positive + terminal.

3. Attach the other end of the jumper cable Positive +terminal to the BAD battery Positive + terminal.

4. Attach the Negative - jumper cable terminal to the GOOD battery Negative - terminal.

5. Attach the last jumper cable Negative - terminal to a heavy metal ground part of the engine and NOTto the dead battery Negative - terminal. Reason being this last connection will cause a spark, and you do not want a spark next to the battery where it could ignite the Hydrogen.

6. If the engine of the donor vehicle with the good battery was not left running, start the engine and let it run for 2-3 minutes to put a charge in the bad battery.

7. Start the vehicle with the BAD battery and then remove the jumper cables from the batteries in the exact opposite order you installed them.
