| I have not had any slipping or noise or problems with my transmission until today. While driving on the highway I lost it suddenly. It will only go into first gear. Will not reverse either. Any ideas? Bob | |

| I am buying a used 1992 Sedan Deville w/46k miles. I want to replace the stock stereo with one that has Bluetooth and an iPod interface. Has anyone here done something like that? Can you suggest a model that would fir the car and if a new wiring harness is needed? Thanks very much in advance. | |

I'm new to Cadillac and don't have a whole lot of experience in mechanics....Can tear a car apart, but can't do diagnostics. I just purchased a 91 Deville Sedan that had an old battery in it. I drove it for a day, parked it and over night the battery was drained. Got it jumpstarted the next day, ran for the full day shutting it off and turning it on, went to Les Schwab because I'd picked up a roofing tack in my tire and needed it fixed. The battery was smelling like sulfur and they replaced it. Schwab tested the Alternator and said that it was running on the high side, but nothing that would cause a battery to explode. I've been pulling the cable at night to keep the battery from being drained. I noticed that someone has cut the wires to the battery and put a new terminal connector on it. There are three wires hooked into the positive and just one on the negative. I've been trying to get schematics to see if this is accurate or if someone has possibly put a negative wire on the positive post. Also i get a service air conditioner light, but was told not to worry about this when i'm driving it and these lights come on, it comes on with the coolant temp fan light and service soon light......sometimes it acts like the fan is trying to turn on and breifly acts like it's draining the battery.....i know it needs a tune up.......i got it from a parts and sales wrecking yard fairly dirt cheap.

| On 2000 Deville where is coolant sensor located? Thanks. | |
We have replaced the alternator - been tested twice. We have replaced the battery - tested and works. The line that runs from the battery to the alternator has been replaced and works. Now, here is the problem. The car will run for a little while and then dies, when you turn the car off it will not start without being jumped. (That is why we replaced the alternator) Has anyone had this problem - or might want to give me some advice on where to start. It has to be electrical - could something be shorting it out. More info - the heater will stop and start again......thanks for any help anyone can give.

Replying to: stacy77 (Dec 09, 2008 8:38 am) If what you are saying is the car won't start after stalling, but will start later, that is a different thing. The starter might be bad - getting 'heat soaked' and then it will not start the car when it is hot. Letting the starter cool down, it then works. A friend had a Cadillac of about this age that had a failure of the electrical connecter that goes thru the firewall into the inside of the car. It stalled and then was generally dead until they found where the problem was. I would also look at both battery cables, and the connections where they screw on - the block for the ground, and the starter for the positive should be clean and tight. If there is corrision, the cables could be eaten up inside the rubber insulation. Intermittent electrical problems are always difficult to find. Good luck.
