Whats the size of the
If this is the light thats on with the parking lights or the headlights on or the day time running light? a 3757 NAK is an Amber daytime rnning light and a clear daytime running light is a 3157K, both are right depending on your car. ( the cars made both ways depending on if it's a base model or not and did it come with optional headlights ( three options)). Then their are the headlights themselves as their are 6 possibilities. Easiest way is to remove the buld and read the number off or it or lay it on the counter of the auto prts store and let them match it up. A 3157 is a big bulb a dim marker light is a 194 and a bright marker light is a 921. Theres a fog driving light thats an H3, Small and very bright. Base model with HID low beams ( bright blue/white ) cost me $135 each and have a ballast attached ( my strore has them in stock) and up model has H1115 low beams.

You may have a dead cell in your battery. First, look at your battery and see if it's a maintenance free battery. If it is NOT,
Check, or have someone check, your levels in the battery. If they are low it will preven the alternator from charging the battery to it's normal level, if it has been low for an extended period of time it can cause a dead cell.
If you're able to get the vehicle by a parts store many of them will hook up a diagnostic computer to your battery and alternator, right there in your car, to make sure both are working properly, and most do it for FREE.
I hope this is helpful.
Engine light on how long should i leave the
for this, i would say 2-4 minutes. i would also tell you to go to autozone, or somewhere that offers free scan tool use, and just use there scan tool. on a cadillac, the engine light possibly could be related to the door lock issue, or it could signal major problems. never try to "kill" an engine light by removing the battery cable.
My low beam head lamps
maybe a ground not making great contact, at night try wiggle wires around headlamps and look for change or is the housing cover lense fogged.
The fog lights (both) on
have you taken the lights apart and checked for corrosion ,also the earth connection as the bumpers are plastic so they have a seperate earth
Should the cooling system fluid
You should change you hoses about every 3 years. The heat from the engine wears down the rubber. When changing the hoses, that's when you change your coolant. Even with such low mileage, you should change the hoses and coolant. The radiator will drain when changing the hoses, best time. hope this helps
Where is the fuel filter located on a 2006
If Equipt, The Fuel Filter Will Be Located On The Passenger Side Rear Of The Vehicle Above The Right Rear Suspension Bracket. It Will Be In Front Of The Wheel Above A Large Plate.
Traction control light on ,brake
If the brake light is on, check the fluid level immediately and add fluid if necessary.
After that, have the car's OBD-II computer scanned with a 'Brake Scan' tool for OBD-II. This will help to narrow down which wheel speed sensor is giving you trouble. It might be a broken wire, or a bad wheel speed sensor.
The wheel speed sensor sends information to the ABS side and the Traction Control side of the computer module for ABS and Traction Control.
The car will revert to standard braking and regular non braking transmission power distribution to the drive wheels when the ABS and Traction Control lights are both on.
Good luck on this repair.
