GM '97 Buick Le Sabre Climate Control flashing display

This started happening to my car right after I removed my battery cables from the battery terminals for cleaning. I installed them back on and a couple of days later when I started my car, the climate control display started to flash (outside temperature reading). Once the display stopped flashing and the car was warmed up, I depressed the Auto button to check for heat, but all I got was cold are blowing from the defroster vents and nothing from the floor. Before I disconnected my cables my heat worked just fine and now Im ready to cry!

I did the exact thing with my '98 buick LeSabere. I am certain that the dealer would have to look at the components and relays and fuses. I had problems with Precision tune mechanics telling me there is nothing wrong with the electrical system, even though I still get a Flashing temp gauge and do not get FULL heat even when it's blasted to 90ºf . [Precision Tune got heat on the windshield and floor.] Moreover, the car is possessed with glitches; I am not getting heat on the windshield and the floor is not hot enough to warm the cabin.

If you get car climate system scanned for codes - the problem could be located - only problem i've had was in the radio security when swapping batteries or taking cables loose for other reason - alt. or cleaning- i repaired my a/c compressor and then the driver heater door stuck wide open when i cycled temp up and down on '98 buick ultra

Testimonial: "The PCM module has to be re-calibrated and probe tested. Dealers will have the expenive GM scan tools - not auto parts stores like AutoZone."

97 le sabre is surging and stalling at low speeds of about 5 mph, like when pulling into a parking lot. Usually will start right back up but last night had to have jumped

If "VOLT" or battery symbol is lit when engine is running, the alternator is not charging the battery. Replace alternator.

How to replace drive/serpentine belt for '97 buick le sabre 3.8? do u have to remove engine mount/bracket or just engine mount?

You don't have to remove the mount. Go thru the wheel well on the passenger side and remove the motor mount bolt just right of the crank pulley. Then remove the stud that the nut was on. Then remove the sleeve that the stud goes thru. Then you can change the belt.

91 Le Sabre cuts off with no warning while driving. Have had several mechanics look at it with no solution.

Look at the ECM aka. the computer. If it has the numbers 1228253 on it this is what is wrong with it. Replace it with a new or used delco gm 16198264. This happened to my car and otherslike it. Your car is a 1991 right? Does it start right back up again after cutting off?
