I think your problem is most likely going to be battery corrosion on the positive battery cable. Take the positive cable off and look at the side that connects to the battery- if that has a bunch of white stuff on it, mix up some baking soda and water use a tooth brush to clean the terminal off and rinse with water. Then spray with electronic connection cleaner and apply some dielectric grease to the connection before you put it back together. I have had to cut the rubber part of those cables in order to really get in there and clean things up- sometimes there will be a bunch of corrosion around the little 8mm lug that you tighten at the end of the cable.

the starter motor is dead, silient, ????? cranks in Neutral but not PARK>? key on, and the IMMO lamp not angry (immobizer)?key failing? Will not crank or cranks fast but will not start, and run or stay running or only runs for 3 seconds (IMMO loves to to the 3 sec,. jive) be more clear on the stater electric motor. the starter actual can be hotwired easy if dead, (it) jump big lug on starter to tiny lug.

• key off in pocket.
• in park
• wheels chocked
• .Pull small term. wire off first is wise. seen below
• jump big to small like this, (using even an old screw driver to jump)
• starter works and cranks but engine does not run is normal here.

ask FORD yet? is car made in USA or Canada (VIN codes tell the easy0 or bought in Canada and moved here. again VIN./ we can not guess any of that but asking FORD, is a BINGO ask the dealer yet? that is an old car and parts like that super hard top find. the users guide. cover it? lost it? is this hard painted words on he cluster. did not say where you saw Liter? the USA manual for the car has not one word about liter (save engine displacement) so it never had it. but I do not have the CANADA manuals here in USA< no need ever. my wild guess is this gauges reads wrong. this is out of the USA cars users guide here. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/860128/Cadillac-1995-Sedan-Deville.html?page=155&term=gallon&selected=1#manual to change that I bet the PCM or cluster or both need to be reprogrammed or found in USA and installed, but doing so the PCM will not work as that is deemed ODOMETER hacking. illegalll but only FORD/CAD can answer this in depth. due to laws USA restricting these changes.

Hi, you might need to remove the power steering line as well as the fuel line in order to be able to swap the new fuel rail pressure sensor with the old one. Thank you.

sorry but we can't see it , to guess.

no DTC code told by you at all, we can not guess 100s of codes. take the car back to the CHAIN shop, man. tell him to fix it. or learn to use a scan tool and report all DTCs. he may have left connectors OFF or loose or damaged them. let him look first for his errors. so he learns to do better. overheating any engine can wreck it, even warp heads. do not let that happen or let it cool down ,pronto and get it service faster. look for loose belts. or missing belts he did wrong. coolant aux P2600 error or 260x must never be ignored this error, . and can be a fuse blown only.....!!!! quote The ECM commands the auxiliary cooling fan ON when the engine coolant temperature exceeds approximately 108°C (226°F). and The auxiliary coolant pump and cooling fan system provides a measure of prevention against fuel vaporization due to excessive engine temperatures. The engine control module (ECM) commands the auxiliary or after boil coolant pump ON when the engine coolant temperature exceeds a calibrated value after engine shut down. The ECM applies ground to the coil side of the auxiliary pump relay. This energizes the coil and applies voltage directly to the pump motor through the switch side of the relay. When the auxiliary coolant pump is activated, coolant is drawn from radiator and pumped into the engine through a tee in the engine coolant inlet pipe. As the colder temperature coolant is drawn into the engine warmer coolant is expelled from the engine and back to the radiator. Removing high temperature coolant from the engine after shut down helps prevent vaporization of the fuel that remains in the fuel injectors and fuel rail during a hot soak.

Hi, Please use the free diagnostic from autozone to pinpoint all of the errors in your vehicle. You can then use that list of errors at any repair shop or dealer repair to know exactly how you need to fix your car to move forward. Thank you.

Ignition timing is fixed and set by ecu and it adjusts it constantly. If you are talking about cam timing there are several videos and instructions on line.

buy the adapter kit https://www.scosche.com/car-audio/installation/harness well; cars like this cam new with even up to 10 radio opens and custom harnessed new and is covered in all cars made service manuals . ALL are as seen here log in and read? https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

A scan tool with live data would confirm, but it could be your coolant temperature sensor causing the engine to not go into phase lock loop.

Try resetting the security system. Please always include the model in questions. https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+cadillac+cts+security+reset ..

Check for battery power on the orange wire pin D and ground (black wire) pin C- Brown wire pin B should be ignition hot on connector C1 on the Driver Climate Control Seat Module located under the driver seat. If you have power and ground, you may need to use a scan tool to see if there are any codes stored in the module. If the scan tool is unable to communicate with this module, it could either be a bad module or a network problem. If you are missing either battery, ignition hot, or ground- then repair as needed

Normally because the brake pads are incorrectly fitted or the shim kit wasn't installed.

You find a local auto electrician, he connects his pro grade scan tool computer and you take him for a ride. The data from all the sensors and modules will tell him what the problem is and what needs replacing.

un plug battery terminal NEG for 1/2 hr. or rear the manual? https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

Here's the diagram of the location of each sensor. Yes, it's the "output speed sensor" and it's on the passenger side, on the transaxle shaft.

Hi, Please use the internal button (in the car) and key simultaneously to try to open the hatch. Thank you.

Try cleaning the contacts of the lock mechanism at the lift gate.
