K134 Multifunction relay is on the driver side, inside the dash above the driver's left ankle (area). (2) panels need to be removed below the steering column to access this area. The first is a panel that matches your dash. The second is a cardboard panel with foam padding on it that encompasses the arms holding the brake pedal and accelerator. You'll then need to lay on your back on the floor board, head in first. Look for a gray box about 3" square by 1 1/2" thick. Push it 'up' off of it's mounting bracket to release. Unplug the wiring harness. Plug in new relay and re-mount.

    Question, this part comes on GM Parts Online, but does it need a special program according to your car SN?

2000 Cadillac Catera K134 relay in on the Driver's side underneath the steering column. I know I have a 2000 Cadillac Catera and there is nothing underneath the glove box on the passenger side.

This is likely the K134 MultiFunction relay, which is under the dash on the passenger side, and not an expensive fix. A common problem. Good luck.

Cant open gas door

Fuel door and trunk issues? How about no fog lights and your radio randomly turning off. If you have any of these issues it is the k134 multifunction relay. It controls all of the above.

My radio, trunk and fuel door all work sometimes. Where is the Multifunction relay? I believe the part# 90494163 It is a 2000 Catera Cadillac. Thanks

K134 Multifunction relay is under the dash on the driver side. When sitting in driver seat, above your left ankle, it is located behind a cardboard panel. Replacing cures many problems with the Bose radio, sunroof, gas and trunk releases, fog lights.

2001 cadillac catera. radio, trunk release, and gas cover release are intermittent and go out at the same time. is this a fuse issue or a wiring or relay problem that might need to go to a mechanic?

The problem is with the body computer; my wifes 01 lost the fuel door, trunk lid, radio, clock and sunroof functions intermittently, but all at the same time. It became really annoying reaching through the back seat into the trunk to open the trunk.

I installed a used 99' body computer, took it to the dealer, reprogrammed the computer to accept the existing radio (when you switch the computer, the radio; Bose, will be locked out) because it's married to the car through the body computer. This is the security system used to protect theft of the radio.
If you remove the radio from one car and install in to another, the radio will lock out. You need a tech II scanner to program the computer.
Dealer charged me $120 for labour which is minimum 1 hour shop time. Actual programming took only 10 minutes. That's why GM is doing so well on the car market. I have no pity for them.

I have a 2000 cadillac catera my radio, maplight, high beam light, heated seats, and onstar does not work when I start the engine. when I turn it off they work until I open the door. PLEASE HELP

Did you recently have a loss of power to the car? change the battery? if so, you need to reset your system. My husband and I just figured this out this weekend. His sunroof hasn't worked in two years and it turns out you have to reset all the power options in the car. Google 2000 cadillac catera %calibrate ETC% loss of power, you'll find the step by step instructions for recalibrating the car's computer and resetting the power options

2000 catera radio stopped working

HAD the same problem and it turned out to be the battery even though all system (i.e. charging, alternator, etc.) were good. Noticed the voltage meter would dip while driving then show a charge when first starting. Bottom line is battery was not holding the proper charge whiel running due to a short in the battery. New battery seems to have taken care of the problem... oh make sure the terminals are really clean.
