in order to change my left break light so i don't get pulled over twice in one week...i have to pop the trunk.
w/ the car it was a option to have a trunk release button and unfortuneately mine didn't come with one. For 3 yrs now i can't figure out how to pop the trunk. i've read something about a valet thing? and i know i can pop it open from the inside i just don't know where to pop it open on the inside of the trunk???
also it takes me 11 times to turn the key and start the freekin' engine what could cause that i been told it's not the starter, and i do have a brand new battery??? OK...anyone out there please help this single young female w/ no idea about mechanics LOL (thanks)

Trunk I can't help with that. Cranking 11 times before it starts sounds like camshaft sensor problem but could be many other problems also.

I just bought a 2001 Bonneville SLE and was wondering if it is possible to turn off the horn noise when activating and deactivating the alarm. Thanks!

Yes, it is. Try navigating the menus in the control center.

Intermittent AC and windshield wiper by bmf512
Jul 18, 2007 (11:36 am)

I have a 1998 Bonneville with 140K miles.
 
Most of the time my AC and Fan do not work. On it’s own sometimes, it will come on and work fine. Nice cool air. When working, directional controls don’t work and most of the time blows out of the defroster. If the control is pointing at your face, it may start blowing there in 5-10 minutes or maybe never. Very strange..
 
Possibly a related issue. My windshield wipers are intermittent in cold weather. When first starting car in the winter, I try and clean the windshield with fluid or wipe off frost and the wipers do not work. After the car heats up a bit, the wipers and windshield washer work fine until the next morning.
 
Is there a common control or circuit that handles both the air/fan and wipers?
 
Thank you for any insight you can provide.

2002 bonny with vibration problems by kevinistic

Hello all. A friend of mine has a 2002 bonneville that has been to about 5 dealers and 2 outside mechanics for a vibration problem that is still Undiagnosed. GM even got involved with little help - of course.
new tires with all kinds of new balancing techniques were installed. The tire and wheel set have been removed from other bonnevilles and installed on this problem car to see if that cured the problem.... nope.
One dealership rebuilt the transmission because of some valve and this did not cure the vibration.
One dealership installed new half shafts. nope.
They say the torque converter is fine.
They also say that even though the car is under warranty still, they can't fix it because they can't find it.
 
So, here's exactly how the vibration happens....
Once in a while (not all the time) when driving on a smooth road, you can feel the steering wheel start to shake and then go away. Also, sometime, you can feel a shake start to happen when taking off from a stop light and then it goes away. Once in a while a very faint clunk along with the vibration near slow speeds at stop lights. But, nobody can diagnose this! I'm STUMPED and NEED YOUR EXPERTISE!!!
 
Any ideas???
 
Sincerely,
Kevinistic

good price?? by simon374

I was thinking about buying a 1976 bonneville from a family friend. He is the orginal owner and it has 61,000 original miles on it. It looks like it just came off the show room floor. He siad to just make him a fair offer on it. I have no idea what a fair price for it would be. I have been searching all over the internet looking for some sort of idea on what to give him for it. Even on here the used car search thing only goes back to 1980. So if anyone out there could give me and Idea on how much to offer him for his bonneville I would be one happy lady. Oh and its a four door, but i can't remeber if its a hardtop or the other model. Didn't know if that would change the price or not.

04 Bonneville Temperature Gauge by dadspearl
Dec 20, 2007 (5:12 pm)

My temperature gauge seems to have twisted in the dash. It will not go back to zero and it goes to the far right when the car is running. As it is not overheating, is it possible that there may be a loose connection somewhere? I just had the front end alignment done and this started on the way home from the dealer. Thanks.

Yes, Its the sender. It is located just above the oil filter. I used some channel locks and unscrewed it. Pipe thread tape for install. $25 at Autozone.
Good luck
