Replying to: taylorb27614 (Sep 07, 2001 6:16 am) Remove the air duct to the throttle-body and clean the bore and throttle blade with a red-rag and some carburetor cleaner.

Replying to: txshadow12 (Jul 10, 2009 3:20 pm) I have a 2001 Aurora and I am having a problem with the DIC as well. When I start my car at night I can see the information center is faintly working. Do you have any advice on how I can brighten the DIC information?
#4216 of 4283 Dash and radio lights go out when headlights turned on by baybay1013 Jul 22, 2009 (7:02 pm)
Hello everyone. I have a 1995 Aurora that I love. Lately, the gauge, radio, and instrument panel lights will go out when I turn on the headlights. When the headlights are switched off, the lights return. Anyone have any ideas about how to fix?
#4217 of 4283 Please help! by claudia1515 Aug 22, 2009 (8:53 am)
Replying to: KarenS (Aug 31, 2001 7:39 am) My '95 Aurora doesn't start, the security system light turned on, and it gives me a messages that says "clean key, wait three minutes". I already did and it doesn't work. My dad is a mechanic and he says he might be able to fix it, but he wants to know how to disable the security system or how to restart the computer. Please help!

#4218 of 4283 95 aurora doesn't start by ozz1 Sep 02, 2009 (10:01 am)
the problem is with the receiver that activates the electrical system when the key is inserted in the key slot by the computer chip in the key. my aurora did the same thing and the gm dealer said he could bypass that portion of the security system for about three hundred dollars. luckily it cured itself after getting that message a half a dozen times over a period of a month, i could always get it started by wiping the key and waiting 3 minutes. the dealer said it was quite complex and didn't suggest doing it myself because it is tied into the computer and more damage could result if the bypass wasn't done correctly.

Replying to: ozz1 (Sep 02, 2009 10:01 am) The part that is tied to the key is a separate box and far less than $300 I'd think. It is accessed by dropping the glove box. You might get at it from the lower panel. This box does all the sensing and then sends signals to the computer allowing start and fuel pump I think. If you read through the forum, I think there is info. It might be the two wires from the ignition to the box have a problem or the ignition switch not making good contact with the key. Some have put a resistor of the same value as the one on the key at the box location with success. This deletes the two wires from the ignition switch and your car will think the key is always in when it comes to security.

Replying to: rahrah99 (Sep 10, 2009 1:22 pm) I replaced my radiator. Bought a new OEM off ebay. Hey if it works do it the cheap way, but I wouldnt skimp on that engine block. the more stress you put on it the less you'll get out of it. Good luck. New radiator was around 150$ with fluid costs around 175 total. Take it to the dealer and they will charge you 600-700 for the job if not more.

Replying to: rahrah99 (Sep 10, 2009 1:22 pm) My 1998 got a leak in the exact same place. I opted for the new radiator, hoses, a water pump (leaking also), and a themostat. Private mechanic. My 1998 had about 84K at the time, about 2 years ago. I was planning on keeping it so I bit the bullet rather than find myself stranded somewhere.   If you want, I will look up what I paid to get this stuff done.
