On my 1995, under warranty (factory extended), it took three tries by service before they successfully fixed this.
 
They replaced, per receipt, a relay, a module, etc in the attempts. I think the final fix was a short or bad connector, not a separate piece of hardware.
 
I didn't ask much about it, just kept taking it back. And on the last trip home, after 30 minutes on my driveway, I saw green fluid. Took it right back and got a replacement water pump in less than 2 hours. Had it in stock, knew what the problem was, quick replacement - this makes me think lots of them leak.
 
And, you have to disconnect the battery to stop the interior lights, until they are fixed.

A short circuit is a good guess.
 
Yes, the northstar water pumps do fail every now and then. Most water pumps fail before the engine does.

bought 97 Deville three weeks ago .Got my new trunk solenoid today via internet order. Old one wasnt working via remote and inside trunk button. Got most of it off (lock solenoid) but the round white plastic 'plug" left the rest dangling Couldnt fig out so closed trunk carefully and drove to Auto Zone. Backed up out of garage, display not coming on. Next block or so it while driving Display comes on. Before even finished taking out all 3 bolts took pics of old one installed and new solenoid "white round plug" was going to post pics or send to Hubby to help me figure out
 Got to Auto Zone trunk wouldnt open with key
The new solenoid and camera and tools all in trunk They were to busy inside to help Also wanted to ask them to let me know codes for "service engine soon"
 What do I do go to locksmith or body shop??? I hope wires not caught in lock I doubt cause old solenoid was still attached with last white round plastic plug cable that I couldnt "unplug" or release
Thanks
Jean

1999 Deville information display by dickdd

I Own a 1999 Sedan Deville. When I purchased it, it had no owners manual.
I have two annoying problems that I can't figure out:
 
1. How do I reset the information display to show 100% Oil Life after I've changed the Oil???
 
2. I have a button in the passengers glove compartment marked "Valet"I guess this is a security measure to prevent the Valet from opening the trunk. How does it work???
 
I have intermittent success when trying to open the trunk with the remote. Sometimes it opens the trunk & sometimes it doesn't. The button in the dash displays the same symptoms.
 
I'm totaly confused by this!!!
 
Any help would be appreciated.

1) Bring up the Oil Life display, then hold down the 'Reset' button until it changes to 100%. About 5 seconds.
 
2)Push the valet button. Lock the glove box. The trunk cannot be opened with the key.
 
Owner's manuals can be bought very reasonably on eBay. www.helminc.com will sell you a new one. With all the 'stuff' on a Cadillac, you need one, and you need to read it. Lots of good stuff in there.
