#54 of 73 headlight switch problem by patsai Aug 19, 2008 (1:06 pm)
I have a 2001 Cadillac Catera headlight switch problem. I have replaced the switch three time and each time the switch burned up need to know if anyone has the voltage for the pin on the light switch

Replying to: kkdallas (Jun 17, 2008 6:46 pm) I just got one, its silly that they would say that. This car is the Opel Omega in Europe and is still made today.

Replying to: bumperstickers (Aug 08, 2008 9:29 am) There is a PDF file you can google and download for free out there. Not that the manual is worth too much.

Replying to: bumperstickers (Aug 12, 2008 8:05 am) Hello...if you are still looking for your manual, there are a couple of ways to get them. Sellers often have them on eBay and you can look there. And some Auto Salvage Yards sell the manuals from cars they have. You can look for suppliers by area and price at www.car-part.com. Prices usually range from $10-25 plus shipping if needed. When you go to car-part.com, input your make model and year and select Owners Manual from the drop-down list of parts. Good luck.
#58 of 73 Secondary air pump by carnut829 Sep 20, 2008 (10:50 am)
After a recent oil change, the check engine light came on. I mention that because the Wal Mart employee seemed to have trouble finding the filter and in the process I wonder if he could have disconnected something that led to what a scanner say's is trouble with the secondary air pump. On a recent visit to a Cadillac dealer, I mentioned the issue to the service manager who had been there for many years. He told me this had been a common complaint and to date Cadillac has yet to come up with a fix for it. Need to know if anyone among you has had this problem and if by any chance you found a solution. Thanx Carnut
#59 of 73 Sluggish shift after warm up by bgcat Nov 19, 2008 (7:19 pm)
Has anyone experienced poor shifting after Catera warms up? Feels like transmission is slipping into neutral upon acceleration and will not shift. Car runs fine until running temperature is reached, 10-15 miles. Your input would be appreciated.

Replying to: KarenS (Sep 06, 2001 7:44 am) Hi Karen, I bought my Catera two years ago and have been enjoying it every since. I have driven it everywhere and it has been a blast. I was unsure of the condition of the timing belt so I am changing it. Since I have found a bunch of other things that are still on from the factory I am gonna change them to relieve any future problems. At my last trip I got 32 mpg which is pretty good considering we were traveling at or above the interstate posted limit. My only problem is locating the tool to hold the crank and cams while I do the belt. I will find one somewhere. I teach an automotive service technology course and the students just look and wonder how something can be sooooo complicated. If they only knew. Thanks for the forum and take care.

Replying to: jonw3 (Aug 07, 2008 11:54 am) I would say that you either have a bad Crank Position Sensor or the Mass Air Flow needs replacing. Get Auto Zone to get you some codes and go from there. many codes should be ignored. go with the cheap parts first.
