Bulb replacement on the steering wheel by mybaby
Mar 19, 2006 (10:23 am)
Reply
Hi gang,
 
This is my first time on, so hope i'm doing it right. My problem is the light on the steering wheel that's for the temp control is out. Sometimes it can be persuade it to come on if you hit the center hub several times but lately I haven't had any luck. Is there a simple way to replace the bulb or does the button have to be replaced? Anyone with suggestions?

Sorry, must have thought I was on other board.

The whole module has to be replaced, unfortunately. I had the same problem with half of my steering wheel buttons, but luckily they were replaced under warranty.

goodbye low oil-pressure readings by blk97aurora

This past weekend I changed oil and filter. I took the opportunity to replace the oil pressure sender/switch with ACDelco 3547417. It is a round cylinder about the size of a roll of quarters located on the driver side of the oil filter. Thanks to Robert Hammen and others for pointing out the sender as the most likely cause of low pressure readings on the DIC.
 
Before the replacement oil pressure was often 7 psi at idle with the engine at operating temp. Now it drops only to 14.

Low Engine Coolant by lovegto

My 2003 Aurora has a sporadic low engine coolant response on the DIC. The car has been taken to the dealer for warranty service twice on this issue but no satisfactory resolution to the problem has been found. The coolant level is adequate, I am wondering if anybody else has this issue and how it can be resolved. The problem is how will I know if the low engine coolant indicator is a false alarm or the real thing.

I have had the same problem (twice) on my '03 Aurora. Like you, the coolant level was correct both times, but I immediately took it in for service. The dealer replaced the sensor twice; second time seems to be the charm--no further problems. It's been more than a year since the last sensor replacement. Good luck. Bryan

Steering adjustments and panel lighting? by georgex5
May 17, 2006 (6:37 am)

I have a 2000 Aurora 4-door sedan, loaded, which I bought used. The car is fine and runs good but I find the steering a little stiff. Is there any way to make the steering more responsive--easier to turn the wheels?
 
Another adjustment I'd like to make concerns the panel lights. Whenever I turn the lights on at dusk or in rain, the panel lights go so dim I can barely read the numbers. Is there any adjustment for this?
 
Thanks for the info.

2000? 1999 or 2001 - no Auroras were built in 2000.
 
Whether 1st or 2nd generation you can find Owner's Manuals at The Aurora Club of North America regarding the dimmer.
 
Answers for steering issue can be found there too but you may want to check the air in your tires. I run mine at 34 psi cold and the steering is a lot easier.
