Re: Coolant leak where upper hose meets engine block

But I've been retightening it, and it always seems to loosen up by 1 or 2 of those slot thingys. I think I'm going to get some of the clamps and see if they work, may have to eat some Gamma Rays and Hulk out to get them on.

Coolant leak where upper hose meets engine block

So my upper radiator hose failed catastrophically one day. I fixed it and put a new hose on and the new hose is secured with worm screws. Unfortunately, these worms screws always seem to come slightly undone, and coolant will leak out of them onto the exhaust manifold. What do you all recommend I ...

Where to find an oil dipstick

Hello Everyone,

My 1994 SE Bonneville needs a new oil dipstick as the head has broken off of the original one. Does anyone know where I can find one? I've tried looking online, but no luck.

Re: 1994 SE - Door will lock, but not unlock

Sorry to practice necromancy on this thread, but I think folks deserve an update. Long story short, EVERYTHING on my drivers side door began to fail. Once I got up enough courage, I took off the interior and figured out how to change the lock. One issue was for me to make sure I got the right lock ...

The answer is that you need to Google search for "lock cylinder".

What kind of door lock is this?

1994 Bonneville SE
Hello Everyone,

So my drivers side door has been acting a fool lately, one of the issues is that my drivers side lock won't turn all the way to unlock the door. So I went out and bought some locks online, only to remove the bad lock from the door and find out they had nothing in ...

Re: 1997 replaced exterior door handle now I've got problems

I'm probably the least qualified person on the entire forum to answer this question. But whenever there is voodoo going on in the electrical system, they generally attribute it to a bad ground which is under the carpet near the running board on the drivers side.

1994 SE - Door will lock, but not unlock

Hello Everyone,

Long story short, my Bonneville door key will lock the door, but it won't unlock it. When I try to unlock it, its almost as if some of the pins aren't quite being pushed up. It will allow me to turn it a little bit, but not all the way as if its bound up by something. I can unlock ...

How to remove power window switch from base (1994 SE)

TL;DR How do I remove the base of the power switch assembly from the wiring connector.

So my power windows have been acting up for some time now. When I push on the "up" button, it would start and stop in fits, and I would have to help the window up. For the other windows, I would have to reach ...

Re: Unintended Acceleration

I had a similar issue where the engine was always under power. I got a fuel system clean at a Valvoline place and it went away. That may have not exactly been the correct solution, but I haven't had it happen again.

Re: Do I absolutely have to remove this motor mount?

Just to keep everyone updated, I chickened out and forked over the $199 to have it done. The way that motor mount-motor mounting looks like it's connected to the block just had me wigged out. Not to mention, it's my only car, so if I can't do something over a weekend, I'm screwed. Thanks for yalls ...

Re: Do I absolutely have to remove this motor mount?

So this means I follow the support with wood on a jack while removing, keep supported until new water pump is in? I'm more scared I'm going to botch something, and then either have a more expensive repair, or toast something that is too expensive to replace.

Mechanic topped off Radiator

Hello Everyone,

Re: bad multi-function switch in steering column?

I'm not a pro, but I have had similar issues with my headlights (94 Bonneville). The mechanic said that it was something in my steering column that wasn't making connection. He also said that there are a billion little parts inside of a steering column so it's cheaper to just get a new one as it's ...
