2001 Cadillac Deville. What would cause the water pump pulley to melt on it?

The water pump pulley on your car may melt if the water pump belt tensioner seizes, causing the pulley to overheat and deform. This may also result in the engine overheating and possibly damaging the head gasket. To fix this problem, you will need to replace the water pump drive pulley, the water pump belt, and the tensioner pulley. You may also need a special tool to remove and install the new pulley.

Not a very common problem. You can get either the part from the dealer, or the seat from the junk yard. It will have the piece you need to correct the issue.

1998 Cadillac DeVille electrical?

Interior Lights Dimming Circuit Description VF Displays When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the instrument cluster activates its VF display. The instrument cluster also coordinates the display illumination for the radio (IRC), the cellular telephone (PHN), and the climate control Panel (CCP) anytime the ignition switch is in the RUN position. Incandescent Dimming 1 (INC DIM 1) The INC DIM 1 consists of lamps powered by CKT 8 (GRY). These are referred to as the park lamp backlighting because they are only active if the park lamps are on and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness. Incandescent Dimming 2 (INC DIM 2) The INC DIM 2 output is used as a general interior light source and an illuminated entry feature that provides interior lighting. The INC DIM 2 consists of lamps powered by CKT 1244 (BRN). When one or more of the following conditions occur, the INC DIM 2 lamps will be active: • The interior lamps switch is active. • The park lamps are on and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness • The ignition switch is in the RUN position and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness • A Class 2 message is received from the body control module (PZM) indicating that the courtesy lamps are active. Dimming The instrument cluster controls all of the interior dimming functions. The instrument cluster receives an ambient light level input from the ambient light sensor and determines whether it is light or dark. If the ambient light sensor is inoperative, the instrument cluster will assume a condition of darkness. Dimming of the VF displays is only allowed when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the park lamps are on, and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness. If all conditions for the VF dimming are met, the instrument cluster uses the input from the potentiometer in the headlamp switch to determine the level of dimming. The dimming level is sent to the radio (IRC), the cellular telephone (PHN), and the climate control panel (CCP) via a Class 2 message. These modules then adjust the dimming level of their VF display. The instrument cluster provides dimming control of the incandescent lighting through the INC DIM 1 and INC DIM 2 outputs. The instrument cluster provides dimming control of the electronic PRNDL LED through CKT 1382 (PPL/WHT). The dimming level will very based on the potentiometer in the headlamp switch whenever the parklamps are on and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness, regardless of the position of the ignition switch. 1998 Cadillac DeVille ' DeVille, Eldorado (VIN E/K) Service Manual ' Body and Accessories ' Lighting Systems ' Diagnostic Information and Procedures ' Document ID: 489166 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interior Lights Dimming System Check Step Action Normal Result(s) Abnormal Result(s)* 1 Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

2001 Cadillac Deville. Fuel pump went out so I bought a new one. One day the car just went dead while driving it. And would not start back it would crank but not start

not true at all the prime pulse is 1 to 3 seconds and stays off until cranked, only cranking matters prime only speeds up the start, cranking pressure matters. and rail pressure for sure. cranking. matters. most. if car has IMMo you know when the key fails the engine can run for 1 to 10 seconds on some cars, to get you say out of trouble or get the car off a curb to tow it? yes. of away from a cliff?????? hummmmm first is learn to find the IMMO lamp on the dash and see if it is glowing the correct way as they free users guide states fact #2: scan the pcm when it fails to start or stalls the scan tool tells you why, sure can, even shows key bad try both keys yet, came new with 2 keys new. car. both IMMO keys modern cars need scan too to diagnose EFI if can tell you lots of things like key bad,spark bad. or fuses blow or well 100s of things. scan it and use fuel pressure gauge at the rail. only if all fuses all good and scans show no clues.! then check pressure with a real meter.

2003 Cadillac Deville Base Model. Service Anti Theft goes on and off. Sometimes the engine won't turn over but everything else comes on.

Question edited for clarity and add maker. Question moved from Misc to model Category. Unfortunately this is not an error you can guess. It can only be diagnosed electronically. You have a computer network issue or a problem with the module that deals with anti-theft. A mobile electrician costs a fraction of what the dealership charges (but you don't get free coffee).. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

1988 Cadillac Coupe DeVille The automatic transmission won't shift from 2nd to 3rd?

Nope, they didn't know what a limp mode was back in 88. You might try running an additive through for a bit, then doing a filter and fluid change, but those early ones were fully mechanical exept for the lockup on the converter.

2002 Cadillac Deville. It overheats after 1000 miles and cross over manifold leaks.

It is the winter. What you see as water is just condensation from the water that is in the fuel at molecular level. The test is, Are you losing water from the coolant system? Water is nowhere new the valve stems, just oil. Leave everything as it is. Re-evaluate in summer. The head gasket can be tested with a coolant system pressure test.

02 deville with 140k,overheats after

you may have too much coolant in it... oddly enough,. I've seen entire cooling systems (and even the engine get replaced) and it still over heated -- when in fact it was an all of a sudden the car required a larger radiator -- and the (freaky) problem was fully solved,. in your case it may be a larger holding/ overflow tank?

Best regards
