• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    an indicator on dash warning lights, 2002 GP V6

    I have a 2002 GP V6, the sun was hitting the dash one day, perfectly for me to notice an indicator, that is not used on my GP. It is just to the left of the # 2 on the Tachometer. It looked like if it had a lamp and came on that it has letters in the display area that seem to say PER SHIFT or...

    2002 GP gas tank sending unit, replacing

    Is the gas tank sending unit part of the fuel pump on a 2002 GP? The car has a 3.8 L engine. If so, do you have to replace the entire thing (fuel pump & sending unit) to fix a gas gauge not reading correctly. I am being told the sending unit is bad, but the entire unit (pump and sending unit)...

    strips of vinyl along bottoms of windows, inside on side door panels

    Any idea what the thin aluminum foil is for under these strips? My guess is "heat" from the sun through the windows, the thin foil maybe prevents the strips from getting really hot in the summer sun??? any other ideas??? also, I recall awhile back asking about these strips and someone said to...

    2002 GP 3.8 V6 coolant level sensor

    How exactly does the coolant level sensor work? I notice (on its inside that goes into radiator) it has a small copper like pin coming out of it in an open round plastic piece and has two connections inside its plug. It looks like the coolant can only make contact with the copper pin, so how...

    2002 gp v6 service engine light

    I have a 2002 GP 3.8 V6, with approx 166,000 on it. Car has been great, recently I been getting a SERVICE ENGINE light and the code is P0446. The car runs great. I had this same code around 2016 and my mechanic (the one I had, I moved since then) immediately told me, check the gas cap, if it...

    2002 GP parking lamp assembly (driver side front)

    There is a small gray round "plug" thing when you look at the back of this assembly. I am sure it has to do with letting air in / out of this assembly, to prevent moisture build up inside, how does it work? I looked at one very closely and I can't see any kind of hole in it? I checked one that...

Eventually after the initial NU-VINYL treatment the haze issue stopped, but...

    rear spoiler loose, 2002 GP

    Anything special to look for when I tighten this back up, it is loose on one side, leftside from back of car. In the trunk, I noted the hardware that holds it on is a nut & screw and I note the screw has what looks like a Torx slot in it, does this require a special tool/way to tighten? I was...

    a/c & heater actuator, doors

    My "good old" 2002 GP is having an occasional problem, noted in the summer with AC on. On the driver side only the temp gradually goes up on its own, passenger side stays OK. Like it is deciding on its own to "mix " the AC & heater, normally something I'd tell it to do. If I take the driver...

    decorative doors pieces, Applique pieces on a 4 DR 2002 GP

    I had sasked this awhile back, but wondering maybe now there are some new ideas on it. I was recently told by a local Buick/Cadillac/Chevy dealer body shop that messing with these decorative pieces will usually break them because of their age. The body shop person also said that if they...
