Replying to: imidazol97 (Sep 28, 2009 3:57 am) There's a design flaw in the way it connects to the other cable. I've seen several bonneville's that had this problem. I initially replaced the end on the cable but in the end replacing it resolved my problems. It's been a pretty good car and only has 53k miles. Not bad for a 10 year old, huh?

Replying to: imidazol97 (May 23, 2007 4:56 am) Hello,   Haven't had a chance to dig through all of the posts here yet, but have read several pages worth.   I just bought a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville about 5 days ago. Everything is great, except a couple minor things. The DIC is displaying the current fuel range (ie. 223 miles etc.). None of the buttons appear to do or change anything on the DIC (Mode, E/M, Reset, and on or two other buttons that I cant remember right now).   Also, the left power mirror works fine, but the passenger side doesn't.   After reading some of these posts, it appears that I will be checking my grounds and fuses first, tomorrow, and go from there. If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions, I would be appreciative.   I will check grounds / fuses tomorrow and post results. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Nov 30, 2009 5:17 am)

Replying to: yep95821 (Nov 30, 2009 12:04 am) The mode button should change between things like engine temp, oil life, voltage, and a few others. Oil life can be changed using the reset button when new oil is put in. Other things can't be changed with the reset button.   Do it change mode when pushing the mode button? Does it change between mpg, instant mpg, and miles left on fuel when pushing the mileage button? Does it change between English and metric when pushing the E/M button?   If none of these cause change, I'd look at the connections for the modules on the instrument cluster. You might try a little vibration on the area of the dash with the DIC readout to see if it will make better contact. I've read some problems with corrosion on contacts in the instrument cluster area on forums.   As for the mirror, is there a switch that connects the left mirror, then neither, then the right mirror to allow changing the direction of the mirror with the little buttons that move the motors?   Do you have an owner's glovebox manual that shows that type of thing? You might search online for owner's manual. Some of those have been scanned and put online for certain years. Yours would be similar to 2000-2005 (or was 2004 last year?)
