95 Lumina Bucket Seat Conversion by ntrinscentropy
Sep 05, 2005 (8:17 am)

I've got a nice little 95 Lumina LS. Had it 6 months, it's been a great car, and I love the 3.1 V6 (wish it was the 3.4).
 
However, there are a few thing that bother me, the biggest of which is the front bench seats. I freaking hate the combination armrest/console which all to often gets in the way and doesn't fold up flush with the seats.
 
I know that bucket seats were available on the later LTZ models and the Monte Carlo's, but I dont know if they were available on the same year.
 
What I am really to do is swap out the seats for buckets and the console, if I can. Anybody have any ideas on the feasibility of doing this?
 
I have already pulled open the dash and installed reverse-glow gauges and threw some EL wire behind the controls for the AC on the dash (looks much better in blue then that horrible pale green!)

What does "Security" indicator mean? by claiel

I have a Chevrolet Lumina. About 8 days ago, the "Security" indicator light came on.
I look up in the manual and ask a mechanics. But I did not get any answer.
Somebody can help me?
Thank you very much!

My 1992 lumina did the same thing. The passenger side fan I believe is the primary cooling fan, and according to the manual it should come on at 230 degrees. The driver's side fan is the a/c cooling fan and should be on any time the a/c is on. I would check the temperature sending unit. The car may not be running as hot as you think it is. There is also a coolant temperatue fan switch that may be bad

I own a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina sedan, it has intermittent starting problems, I have had it in the shop several times and it seems to be the passive security system that is failing. The ignition key has a bit in it that has a resistance value, when the ignition system fails to read this value correctly the car won’t start. The module that performs this check has been changed as well as the ignition/key cylinder, I would like to know if this a common problem with the Lumina and if it is possible to bypass this check that it does with the bit in the key.

My gages are going crazy by sierrasky

I have a 1999 Lumina and it was running absoultely fantastic. I had to evacuate from Marrero, LA due to hurricane Katrina to Mooresburg, TN and now my wonderful car's gages are a wreck. The car is running great but the gas gage started to show signs of dysfunction in MS and now when full shows it's almost empty. The temperature gage is now stuck on 260 even before I turn on the motor. There is ample water and antifreeze so I don't understand what is happening. I am homeless and without a job and I have been told you are on your own to find a decent mechanic here. If anyone can enlighten me I would appreciate it. I love my car it has been a very dependable machine.

I've had the same problem with my 96 Lumina driving me nuts for years, and no one has been able to fix it. Strange thing is if I turn the key and nothing happens, then wait a few minutes, it will suddenly start, but the length of time I have to wait is inconsistent, sometimes a minute, sometimes half an hour! At first I thought it was my Audiovox Pursuit alarm system, but the alarm guys can't figure it out either. Sounds like you're on the right track though about the passive system, but I can't afford a new ignition switch (or is it the key?). I'd sure like to find someone who's been able to fix this, but I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one who has this problem. It's been a great ride since I bought it in 96, but it doesn't make a very good getaway car...
