Top 20 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora Questions & Answers

Take the gear shifter apart an lube it . key graphite .

Chassis ground? I have used redundant grounds on many automotive systems, so far no problems. I've seen them from firewall to engine block. I have heard of them being down around motor mounts. The point is, I don't believe it matters where you put it. I don't know where the factory ground point is located? Just my opinion.

I'm just guessing: You may have a bad ABS Sensor. since you mentioned TRACTION Control. Traction Control controls the vehicle while it is in motion but a faulty or failing ABS Sensor could interfere with your traction Sensorbe the cause of your worries. Hope its a good guess!

If signal lights are working, probably a failing headlight switch. Even though fuses seem OK, you can try replacing the appropriate fuse.

Yes you have a broken line or bad master cylinder leak or seal depending on where you find the leak. Do not attempt to drive the car until you fix this because you will not be able to stop the car. In addition, after you repair the line you will need to bleed the air from the brake system before driving the car. Hope this helps.

Sounds like CV joints(Front-wheel drive) need to be inspected / replaced..

Depends on which engine you have - it is not usually easy to find or get at while the engine is in the car. You should be able to get the info at a dealer using the VIN number of the vehicle.

You are sure that the dash control at or near the headlight switch for the interior lights isn't turned on??

i no this is not your model but it might give you some ideas... interior lights staying on Everything Electrical and Electronic

Could be a lot of things, blown head gasket, could be steam and not smoke from a heater hose etc.

This usually means that one of the right side bulbs is bad...front or rear...check outside to find the non-blinking bulb...Hope this helps.

If you have brake lights, that switch is OK. The shifter release solenoid is built into the shifter. The whole shifter has to be replaced. It could be the wiring. Usually not though. Most times t is that high dollar shifter.

Which crank sensor ? yours has two . Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor A Center front of the engine, near the base of the engine oil level indicator Engine Controls Component Views Engine Controls Connector End Views Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor B Center front of the engine, near the base of the engine oil level indicator Engine Oil Level Switch Center front of the engine, in the engine oil pan Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (Bank 2 Sensor 1) Center rear of the engine, in the right hand exhaust manifold

Is it dual climate control? The passenger side is stuck on heat mode. A door, inside the heater/AC case (up under the dash) for the passenger side, that closes off air passage to the heater core and redirects it to the A/C portion, is not closing. They get stuck, or broken with plastic stripped gears, or the actuators that move the doors quit working or quit getting a signal to work from the control unit on the dash. Fixing it can get excruciating, I mean down right aggravating. I'm only warning you, so when you do it yourself, you can rate it on a scale of easy to dante's tenth level. It puts me in a manic-depressive state for days, and I used to enjoy tearing cars apart! Maybe I exaggerate. Some blend doors are easy to get at, but some models require the dash removed just to get access. Start by pulling off the sound insulator panel under the dash. Then with key on, operate the controls on the control panels, from heat to a/c and so forth. Listen for sounds like a thump from a stuck door, or clicking from stripped plastic gears. You just have to listen and look if you can see anything amiss. If you spot one of the doors or its actuators (the actuators are either tiny motors or are vacuum operated diaphragms with large canisters) not working right, you have to judge how much further it takes to repair it. Don't be discouraged, but cars these days are not very owner-friendly.

This may be a shifter cable. Can you hear the solinoid click when you depress the brake pedal? If not check the switch.

if no bolts then the new pump will have the pully on it meaning it is press fit.

They will not come on when they are unplugged. You need to check at your relay base and make sure you have 12v supply power and are getting your signal power from the temp switch.
