#4376 of 4387 1995 SSE by sse1 Mar 28, 2008 (6:23 am)
This car had been setting for over a year. Fuel filter was almost completely restricted.New one installed but very little fuel going to the engine. Car has 3/4 of fuel in the tank.Could the fuel have varnished the pump so bad that it might be ruined? it was sitting on a downward incline with the car facing forward.You can hear the pump relay clicking but not much noise from the pump.You can hear a slight whine in the trunk area.{trunk open} Car will fire with ether but no fuel delivery.How loud should the fuel pump be when working properly?

My 94 bonneville's break light is on and will not stop chimming even when i drive. i took it into the shop and they said there was a tail light out and other than that my breaks seemed to be fine. the technician told me it may be an electrical problem and i was just wondering what i could do about it or can do anything myself Replies to this message: gyromite7 (Jun 04, 2008 8:21 pm) arthur1031 (Aug 17, 2008 11:22 am)

#4381 of 4387 Heads-up and sunroof by coblur Jun 22, 2008 (7:31 pm)
Hey Guys, I just found an awesome 97 SSEI. 76,000 miles, nicely loaded , leather. I got the car after it sat abandoned for 5 years. A battery, tires and condenser and it's a sweet ride! The problems I have are minor, I can't figure out how to switch the heads up to MPH instead on KPH. When I open the sun roof, I have to give it a shove or it makes a "rat a tat noise" and stays shut, the shove gets it moving and it opens and closes fine. I also can't get the lights to go off any sooner than 3 minutes. I have turned the "twilight sentinel" to min, but it makes no difference. I'm also trying find ways to get the correct fobs for the factory car starter and doors, all I got with the car was a single ignition key. I've seen the programmable fobs on e-bay for the door. Any help would be GREAT!

Replying to: kinder420 (May 16, 2008 6:47 pm) Hi - you probably had this fixed long ago and have an answer but just in case; there are two main reasons why the emergency brake light comes on and does not go out. If the brake is not released all the way naturally is one issue. If the pedal is all the way out then there is potentially an issue with the emergency brake indicator switch. However, this switch identifies when the emergency brake pedal is depressed - if this switch is broken, it will not show the emergency brake is on so a defective switch most likely is not the answer. The other reason is from a leak in the master cylinder which may not be as noticeable. If the system detects a leak, the emergency brake light will stay on and chime. Sorry I could not respond earlier as I just now joined this site. Hope all is running well now.
#4383 of 4387 Re: Compare Bonneville to Lesabre [tpken] by debbiec1 Sep 26, 2008 (10:07 am)
Replying to: tpken (Sep 09, 2000 2:49 am) We have one of each, a 2002 Bonneville SSEI and a 2003 Buick LeSabre LTD and like the Bonneville best. It gets 30 highway mpg instead of the 27 I get in the LeSabre. BUT the chrome wheels on the Bonnevilles sometimes are a problem. Our old Bonn. (98) had some leaky wheels even though we had the rims redone and rebalanced... the alum and chrome sometimes get eaten up by salt, etc. and you get tires that have a slow leak. The engines on both these cars are the same, I'm not sure why the superchgd Bonne gets better mileage. The LeS. does have more gauging, I can see instantly what my mileage is under various conditions. But as for comfort, the Bonneville is unsurpassed, roomy cushy seats. Make sure you get a sunroof, though, because it adds so much light to the interior, makes the car a joy winter and summer. I have 85000 miles on the LeSabre, we just bought the 02 Bonne with 94000 miles on it but mint condition knock on wood (a kid car purchase for us) and our old Bonne was totalled, still ran beautifully winter and summer with 167000 miles on it. We would have fixed it but all the airbags went off, so not possible or feasible. I almost cried. I loved that car better than some dogs I have had.
#4384 of 4387 dash reset by arehm Aug 15, 2009 (10:21 am)
I have a 2001 SSEi after changing the oil the dash still tells me it needs a change. I push the reset button but it still says needs change after restarting the car. Any one know how to reset the dash? Replies to this message: pkgguy (Aug 15, 2009 8:25 pm)

Replying to: arehm (Aug 15, 2009 10:21 am) Press and hold reset for about 10 seconds. Same for any other reset.
