Here's a GREAT site to find virtually any part you can think of, in salvage yards nationwide: http://www.car-part.com/ You should be able to find everything you need there, after a bit of searching and maybe a couple phone calls to get specifics. |

Replying to: derfl (Oct 27, 2005 7:18 am) I reply: Yep, my dealer found that specific part at a nearby Chevrolet dealer for $4.44 plus tax. It was not an exact match for the original part, but it fit nicely and looks stronger than the original. I put the door panel back on and now the window works as good as new. Thanks very much for the tip!!!! Does anyone have experience with my other problem, a "chirp chirp" from the serpentine belt? It went away when I treated it with belt dressing, but then I learned that these new belts are ruining by belt dressing. Expensive lesson. It also goes away when I spray a touch of WD40 on a certain rusty-looking pulley. To add to the situation, my 1997 Suburban with the same 5.7L engine now has begun the "chirp chirp."

Does anyone have an experience where your radio stopped working and the antenna didn't go up? My mechanic said it could be the radio itself or some module in the antenna control. For several weeks it simply displayed the same time on the clock, but today the clock started working, and antenna went up, and I could tune in a radio station. But then, bizarrly, I could not turn it off! That situation lasted for a couple of minutes and then it went back to not working.If I didn't know better, I say there were gremlins in the radio. If I have to replace the radio, I'll get one with a CD player. Mike |

Replying to: ebbers (Dec 10, 2005 6:27 pm) Do you ever notice it not working/working properly again when you go over bumps? A lot of times similar issues will happen in cars when and if the grounds are bad/faulty, something that's been happening for a while now with the rear speakers in our '92 Roadmaster--they'll flicker off and on over bumps in the road. |

Just to get things refreshed a bit in here, thought I might add that I'm close to buying Fleetwood #2! Just happened to stumble upon a '95 Brougham when on the net a couple weeks ago that was at a used car dealer VERY close to where we live. Went and drove it last week, and fell in love. The specs: 1995 Fleetwood Brougham -Marblehead Metallic w/ Light Neutral leather -118k miles -Only options are the Brougham package, locking fuel door, and a full size spare -Blackwalls (UGLY), but they're still a pretty fresh set of Michelins all around, so that's not a real biggie -In BEAUTIFUL shape, and even nicer than our '93, which I always regarded as next to immaculate -$4995 internet cash price Drove nicer than my '93, and even felt tighter despite the slightly higher mileage (118k vs. 103k on our current one), and the price is well within my budget. Always wanted one of my own, since the '93 was technically just bought by my father for my brother and I to have a nice "to school" ride. Here's a couple pics, too: '95 Marblehead FWB Love the LT1 and the beautiful color combo...just need to get a few last minute insurance and banking things cleared up, then hopefully there will be 2 in the driveway

Hi, I would like opinions on a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham I am considering buying with 32,000 miles on the odometer. I borrowed this car for a week last summer and it performed flawlessly on a camping trip to Wilderness State Park near the Straits of Mackinac. That's approx. 350 miles from my home in SW Michigan and it carried my family of 5 plus all our camping gear, including cooking supplies and a 10x12 screen tent without a problem up and back. And with a style and grace I haven't experienced before, I might add. This car is beautiful inside and out with still-shiny paint, a pristine vinyl top and gorgeous leather interior. Everything works-keyless entry, all power switches, load-leveler rear (no leaks I could see over 7 days) and not a hiccup from the 5.7 Liter V8. With only 32,000 miles on the odometer, however, I wonder about the various seals and gaskets and if some of them might have aged enough during the past eleven years or so with so little driving to cause some problems. I will, of course have my mechanic go over the car before I plunk down my money, but I would appreciate any opinions/experiences anyone can give me about what we should be looking at in terms of replacement in a Fleetwood in this condition. I appreciate any advice anyone can give me. Thanks!
