Re: How do you change out tail light in trunk lid?

Yeah I figured there must be some kind of sealant holding it on, and no I've only had the car for a year now.

Do you remember what screws you had to remove or whatnot?

Re: How do you change out tail light in trunk lid?

I didnt want to screw something up so i put them back on. Either i wasnt doing something right or that piece has just ...

Re: Cluster Illumination Is Gone

I'm having the same problem with my 98, when i took out the old switch i could tell that the back of it had melted and probably burnt up. When I put a new switch in it worked for maybe 10 mins then smoke started coming out from behind it and that one burnt up too. So my guess is that I have a short ...

Problems with Electronic Climate Control no A/C or Heat!

My ECC simply does not work right. For one, the display randomly shows up from time to time along with the radio display. All of the controls still work and the fan blows out air but the temp of the air is not contolled at all. It seems like their must be a damper or something that is not opening to ...

Aux input for a stock 98 stereo?

Id like to install a auxilary jack to the front of my stereo so i can listen to my ipod but besides the 3.5mm input is there anything else special as far as wires or adapters to make it work because it is just the stock cd player. Does anyone have any insight as to what i need?

New Plugs and Wires

Im thinking about changing out the spark plugs and wires on my 98 SE, will there be any real change in throttle response and MPG and would it be worth it?

Re: 98 Bonneville Dash light problems

I finally found a headlight switch, does anyone have any tips on how to tackle changing it out? I havent really tried taking anything off yet but it looks like just one piece up above the cluster held in by 3 screws i know it cant be that easy though.

Re: 1995 Cluster Illumination Issues( Dash Lights all went out )

I have a 98 bonnie and I'm having the same problem. The clusters dont light up and neither does anything else that should. Everything still works though. My only guess is the headlight switch and i plan to get one sometime next week.

Re: Taillights and Dash lights out

I am having almost the same exact problem with my dashlights, my taillights are fine though. Do the radio controls on the steering wheel or the radio buttons light up? None of it lights up on mine. Wouldn't you know, I bought the car when it was light out and never thought to check any of that crap ...

Re: 98 Bonneville Dash light problems

yep there are a few salvage yards nearby I'll have to take a look for another switch. I have a pretty good feeling that my switch has gone bad.
