Question: 1996
Cadillac Srx V8 180,00 miles Hi. I am trying to program one
keyless entry fob..this is the directions I am following....With the ignition in
the "RUN" position (engine does not necessarily need to be running, but it will
work either way). Press OFF and WARMER (or the OFF and PASSENGER WARMER buttons)
on climate control panel simultaneously. Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) will
light all telltales, then go blank. System is now in DIAGNOSTIC MODE. After
diagnostic mode cycles through and stops, press FAN DOWN button until "RFA?" is
displayed, then press FAN UP. If "RFA DATA?" is displayed, press FAN DOWN. If "RFA
OVERRIDE?" is displayed press FAN UP button. If "RFA S00 NO OVERRIDE" is
displayed, press FAN DOWN. If "RFA S01 PROGRAM FOB #1" is displayed, press FAN
UP button. IPC will show "0" on right side of Drivers Information Center (DIC)
display. Press WARMER button on the climate control unit until "99" is
displayed. Press and hold TRUNK button on the transmitter. While holding TRUNK
button, press LOCK button and hold both buttons for a total of 3 seconds. Locks
will cycle when programming is complete. If transmitter is not programmed within
30 seconds after entering "99" on the display, system will default and you must
begin at step #2 again. To program second transmitter, press FAN DOWN button
until "RF S02 PROGRAM FOB #2" is displayed, then press FAN UP. Repeat step #4.
To exit system, press AUTO, MODE UP, MODE DOWN, or RESET button. After it goes
through the diagnostic cycle it will stay constant on PCM? No matter how long I
hold the fan down button it won't go to the next step...since I am new at this I
had to try it several times and I did get it to where I have to get it to the
"99" but hit the wrong button and had to start over...now I can't seem to get
past the PCM? part....what do I do? And I have only one fob and it is fob #2,
does that make a difference and if so how do I program just the 2nd fob? My car
is a STS. Thank you in advance P.S. I don't have a warmer button, I have a temp
knob for the driver side of the climate control and a up/down for the passenger
...does that make a difference...and do I turn the knob until the "99" shows or
use the passenger temp thing?
Answer: Push down on the mode button or go to
the dealer and have it programmed through the tech 2.
Question: Just bought on Ebay a 2004
Cadillac SRX with 50k miles on it. I've used it for one month and 1000 miles. It
has a Passport/Valet alarm & autostart on it. I disabled the alarm as it would
go off when it shouldn't. Not sure if that system has caused an electrical
problem as I have had to replace my left front blinker light twice and the right
one once. The moon roof now does not have full power and I need to use my hand
to help it along. Today my passenger side vanity mirror light stays on whether
opened or closed. Do I have an electrical problem and what should I do?
Answer: You will need a
new vanity mirror the internal switch is bad try lubing the moon roof with WD 40
first, was the car in an accident? or do you know, the moon roof may be bent....
grease will cause unwanted dirt to build up, see how many amps the motor is
pulling if you can, or replace the motor I never could figure out why some
people needed 2 alarms on there cars lol does nothing but cause problems, it is
probably causing the bulbs in the lights to blow.
Question: 1994 Cadillac Seville can a
1993 Cadillac Seville driver side mirror fit on a 1994 Cadillac Seville?
Answer: If the body styles are
the same, probably! Call a local junkyard and ask, they have the crossover books
and can tell you what years will work!
Question: My 2000 STS has the FE3 "road sensing"
suspension with 108000 mi. Replacement Struts are $700 each - is there a lower
cost replacement or can the SLS non adjustable struts be installed & if so, do
any electronic components need to be removed or deactivated? The car is pristine
& I have owned it since new and really want to go to 200,000 miles - but the
cost to rebuild the suspension with original equipment replacement parts is
prohibitive. What are my best alternatives?
Answer: I have never installed non adjustable
struts in place of the sensing struts. try having the cores rebuilt it may save
you some money, or try a junk yard. I wouldn't mess around with installing the
non adjustable as you will probably run into more problems down the road.
Question: 1997 Cadillac
Seville Front Wheel Drive Automatic 137896 miles, I need new shocks, they are
very expensive since they are electronic. is it possible to put regular shocks
on or do they have to be electronic?
Answer: The
replacements are not electronic anymore, but you will have to have a relay put
in your Ride Module or the light will come on so some one is pulling your leg
rear shocks are air shocks, they come in a pair about 200 bucks at the dealer.

Question:
2001 Cadillac Seville V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic
47,000 miles I have a 2001 Seville STS with factory HID headlamps. Over the
weekend, it blew a fuse for the drivers side HID lamp. I replace the fuse and
the HID lamp lit up for about 3 seconds and then popped the fuse again. I pulled
the lamp assembly out and looked at the wiring to see if I could find a pinched
wire or maybe a wire that had rubbed thru its insulation and was arcing to
ground but found nothing. I put it all back together and tried a new fuse, it
lit up and lasted about 8 seconds and then popped the fuse again. Any ideas on
how to diagnose the HID circuitry? These parts are very expensive to just try
and replace ballasts, ignitor, etc......Please help if you can.
Answer: Those are
the blue lights right? the electrical booster for that headlight is bad, I
believe there is one for each headlight assembly, its a rectangle box about 6-8
inches long and 2-3inches wide

Also, does anyone sell the cowl that covers the unit and blower motor, etc? The
old one is falling apart.
Answer: That's how you get
it out, cut the cowling, then repair it going back together, blower motor is in
the firewall in the middle. Check you AC with a Freon leak detector
