Can you put a Chevy Impala transmission in a 2007 Buick Lucerne cxl 3.8
It is unlikely that a Chevy Impala transmission can be directly installed in a 2007 Buick Lucerne CX 3.8, as they are two different vehicles with different transmissions. The Buick Lucerne uses the 4T65E transmission, while the Chevy Impala may have different transmission options depending on the year and model. Even if the transmissions have similar designs, there may be differences in the mounting points, electronics, and other components that would prevent a direct swap. It is always recommended to use the same transmission model that came with the vehicle, or to consult with a professional mechanic or transmission specialist for proper guidance.
I'm trying to replace the heater core on a 2003 Buick Rendezvous.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable and drain the cooling system.
- Remove the instrument panel and center console to access the heater core.
- Disconnect the heater hoses from the core and remove the mounting bolts or screws that hold the core in place.
- Carefully remove the old heater core and any remaining mounting brackets.
- Install the new heater core and reattach the mounting brackets and hoses.
- Refill the cooling system with the recommended coolant and water mixture.
- Reinstall the instrument panel and center console, and reconnect the negative battery cable.
Where is 2011 Buick Lucerne output and input speed sensor?
The output and input speed sensors on a 2011 Buick Lucerne are located on the transmission. The output speed sensor is located on the driver's side of the transmission, near the front of the vehicle. The input speed sensor is located on the passenger side of the transmission, near the rear of the vehicle.
To change the sensors, you will need to:
- Raise the vehicle: Use a jack to lift the front of the vehicle off the ground. Make sure the vehicle is secure and stable before working under it.
- Locate the sensors: Follow the transmission housing to the front and rear of the vehicle to find the output and input speed sensors.
- Disconnect the electrical connectors: Use a small pair of pliers to gently pull the electrical connectors off the sensors.
- Remove the sensors: Use a socket wrench to remove the mounting bolts that hold the sensors in place. Then, gently pull the sensors out of the transmission.
- Install the new sensors: Reverse the steps above to install the new sensors. Make sure the sensors are securely fastened and the electrical connectors are properly seated.
- Lower the vehicle: Carefully lower the vehicle back to the ground using the jack.
It is important to follow proper safety procedures when working on a vehicle. If you are not comfortable or experienced in automotive repairs, it is recommended to have a mechanic perform the sensor replacement.
On occasion, our 2013 Buick Enclave will not start. (no noise, no click, nothing) We had someone tell us to carry the other set of keys and try them.
It sounds like there may be an issue with the ignition system in your 2013 Buick Enclave, particularly the key fob or the ignition switch. When the issue occurs, it's possible that the signal from the key fob is not being properly transmitted to the vehicle's computer, or the ignition switch may not be receiving the signal correctly.
One possibility is that the problem is related to the AC repair that was done before. It's possible that something was unplugged or not secured properly during the repair, which is causing intermittent issues with the ignition system.
I would recommend taking your car back to the dealership and explaining the issue in detail. Even though they were not able to find the issue before, it's possible that they may be able to identify the problem this time. You may also want to mention the AC repair and ask if they can check to see if anything was missed during the repair.
If the dealership is unable to find the issue, you may want to take your car to an independent mechanic who specializes in electrical issues. They may be able to diagnose the issue by testing the ignition system and checking for any loose connections or wiring problems.
Overall, it's important to get this issue addressed as soon as possible to avoid getting stranded with a vehicle that won't start.
Code P0455 on 2016 Buick LaCrosse & Tighten gas cap light
could be gas cap missing or not tighten is usually the first thing that can give an evap code ---you can probably have a leak from hose cracked or not seated correctly to a damaged component -------https://www.autocodes.com/p0455_buick.html
2008 Buick Lacrosse. The passenger front parking light does not come on, but the turn signal works.
Possibly bad ground connection - G100
In back of the right headlamp on the frame. Headlamps, turn signals, parking lamp for the right all ground at that point. Corrosion in the wire, broken park lamp wire.
Headlamps, turn signals, parking lamp all have their own ground wire that connects at that point.
Hooking up a professional grade scan tool an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes in the BCM - body control module may point in a diagnostic direction.
DTC B3949: Right Front Turn Signal
Right Front Park/Turn Signal Inoperative
Circuit/System Description
The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the turn signals based on an input from the turn signal switch, part of the multifunction turn signal lever. The BCM receives an input from one of two signal circuits to determine which turn signal function is requested. When the turn signal lever is placed in the LEFT position, the left turn signal switch signal circuit is grounded indicating that left turn signal operation is requested. When the turn signal lever is placed in the RIGHT position, the right turn signal switch signal circuit is grounded indicating that right turn signal operation is requested.
When a turn signal input is received from the turn signal switch, the BCM will activate the appropriate turn signals. The BCM pulses voltage to the applicable turn signals via the turn signal lamp supply voltage circuits, illuminating the required turn signal lamps.
B3949
A short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance is seen on the right front turn signal lamp supply voltage circuit.
