| hello to everyone im new to this site. I have a 96 aurora 115,000 miles . My problem is i was on my way home from work one day and i went to turn the corner and hit the gas and noticed that it had shut off on its on. so i pulled over and it started right up like nothing happened. Maybe 5 miles later it did it again while i was just coasting down the road so i pulled over and attempted to start it again this time with no luck...... now i noticed before it cut off my oil pressure went from regular operating pressure down to 5psi on the information center. And when i tried to start it up agian it just made a cliking noise but the power was being drained because the lights were getting dimmer. So i had it towed to the repair shop and the replaced my starter, alternator, gave it an oil change and the battery was brand new and now it still wont start. they are telling me that i just need to swap the engine cause its gone bad. does anyone have any clue to whats going on im so confused i dont know what to do. oh ya not to mention my service engine light had been on for about 2 months (on and off) the sad thing is no one could tell me y it was on,and at one point while i was driving the service engine light would flash occasionally | |

| well see the funny thing about it was that my service engine light had been on and off for about a month and half, no one could tell me why the light was on and occasionally the light would flash at me. and when i took it to schafer & strominger they told me that my engine had seized up and i needed a new one. and he said that he turned it manually and he got it to start but while it was running he said it sounded like something was cought in the motor. i just dont get it. | |

| All of a sudden my gages(Fuel, Batter, Oil, Information Center, A/C temp, and door locks) just quit working! So I got my battery replaced because they tested and it was bad! Now they still don't work. Does anybody know what fuse goes to them? I lost my owners manual, so I am screwed! Please help me!!!!! | |

Replying to: jeffamanda60 (Jul 10, 2009 1:34 pm) Try the Maxifuse/Relay Center located under the hood. The inside of the cover has a chart that explains the features and controls governed by each fuse and relay. You probably have already discovered that there should be 3 main fuse panels; namely, (1) the instrument panel fuse block and (2&3) 2 (driver's side and passenger side) rear compartment fuse blocks. The "fuse block instrument panel" has fuses arranged in rows with 4 across and 7 down. Upper left hand corner = #1 fuse, uppper right hand corner = #4 fuse, etc. Look at fuse #17 which is the 1st one in the 5th row from the top. This is the "Driver Instrument Center" one. P.S. There should be a fuse puller clipped to the inside of teh cover to the fuse box unless it's been "misplaced". Hope this helps.

I am new to the forum. In researching old posts I found similar problems and answers but not exactly the same. I have a 1998 Aurora with 212000 miles. Suddenly all power windows and the sunroof stopped working. I checked the circuit breaker under the rear seat. It was very hot to the touch. I thought it might be bad so I exchanged it for an identical circuit breaker that protected a different circuit. It also didn't fix the problem and got very hot. I put the original breaker into the non-power window circuit and it worked fine. Has anyone had this happen, and better yet found out what was wrong? |

Hi, What is the part called and where is it located that controls the auto lamps. My lights were staying on so I pulled the fuses to turn them off. When I re-installed the fuses the problem was solved but I know it will happen again. Thanks for any help. |

Nevermind, I just noticed brinwoods detailed fix-it. Guess I'll have to go and tear it apart. When I'm done I guess I'll owe Brin one of "his" favorite beverages! Thanks. |
