What is the problem on 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette if rear lights do not work at all?

All of my 2002 Silhouette outside lights had small leaks when I purchased the van used. I did not notice this when I bought it but shortly after, my rear lights all went out. I had to replace the whole assembly including the covers. I have not had any problems in the 4 years since I did that. After talking to several mechanics, I understand that is very common in the Silhouettes. Hope this helps.

Is anyone else having transmission whining with 2001 Olds Silh- They think it is in the thrust or bearing Need help from others who have had this problem.?

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan with 103,XXX miles. We just paid $1,728 to have the transmission completely rebuilt. Our transmission started whining and shifting hard from time to time about a month ago. I first had the transmission fluid and filter changed, thinking the filter might be clogged. The van was whining only once or twice a week in the beginning, but soon started doing it more often. It mostly made the noise when we were driving around town making frequent stops and starts. After taking the transmission apart, the shop found the front bearing was wore and the overdrive clutch hub was shot. They put in a complete overhaul kit, new clutches, bearing kit, and a total of 5 or 6 updates to fix common factory problems with this transmission. The updates will supposedly make this transmission better than it was from the factory. Time will tell.

Where are the cooling fan relays located in a 2004 Chevy venture?

Hi,

The relays for the radiator cooling fans are located in the underhood fuse block. There should be a label on the underside of the fuse block cover, but I have included a link (below) to a site that shows the relays. You will have to scroll down a little bit, as that page shows all the fuse block diagrams in the van. I have checked and the layout for all of the 2001-2004 Ventures are the same.

Good Luck, Greg

How do you replace sideview mirror on a oldmobile silhouette?

I just replaced a passenger side view mirror (power heated) on a 1999 Olds Silhouette. Here's how. First obtain the proper replacement mirror. Disconnecting the negative battery cable can prevent electric shock and damage to components due to sparks. I actually didn't do that though. Using a thin putty knife, or similar instrument, gently pry up the panel containing the power door lock and window switches. Carefully unplug the swithces from the panel. This may require the use of a small screwdriver to release the swithces from their clips. On this 99 Silhouette there is a 10mm bolt located in a recess below the door grip. Another 10mm bolt is located under the hole from which the switch panel was removed. Remove these 2 bolts. Using a door panel removal tool or flat blade screwdriver gently pry the door panel mounting clips loose to release the door panel. Watch where you are prying and you should be successful. Remove the door panel sliding it forward past the door handle. There is a plastic film (moisture barrier) held to the door by a black adhesive which should come loose with careful pulling on the plastic film at the upper front corner of the door. Peel back this film enough to find the mirror electrical plug. Unplug this connector. Remove 3 10mm nuts holding the mirror assembly to the door at the upper front of the door. Remove the damaged mirror. To assist in finding the new mirror wire plug, I fed a piece of string up through the hole from which the mirror plug was removed. Feed the new mirror wire and plug down through the hole from which it was removed. Set the new mirror in place and loosely attatch one of the 10mm nuts to hold in place. Find the mirror plug and attatch it to the plug from which the old one was removed. Align the mirror to its mounting and secure all 3 10mm nuts to hold the new mirror in place. Resecure the plastic film, I used the original adhesive still there. Place the door panel in position by pulling the door handle and feeding it through its respective hole. Align the door panel so the door clips are in position with their holes. Push the door panel at the clips to secure. Reintall the 10mm bolts removed above. Reattatch the door and window switches removed above. Enjoy your new mirror!

How do you replace the headlights in a 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette?

you have to pop the hood and look at the mounting brackets there is i believe 2 or 3 wing nuts on the top along the hood latch mount. take them off so your whole headlight casing comes out but make sure you do this slowly and pay attention because there are little holes that are guides for putting the mount back in. once you have done that then all you do is twist the black knob and the light pops out. all done. after that it is pretty easy. same system for the signal markers.
