2001 Oldsmobile Aurora security system default when the battery is hooked up the horn will continuously go off if you unhook the relay for the horn it will stop honking but it won't do anything else when...

If the security system is armed, which it can be whenever the battery power is unhooked then hooked up again as the system thinks a theft attempt has been made, try this: Hook up the battery then lock and unlock the driver door using the original key. This will let the system know that you - the owner - have the key and are not trying to steal it. Not a guaranteed fix but works about 90% of the time.

Sounds like the deresonator has a crack in it, unhook the battery for a hour system will reset easy replacement. then go to the local auto parts store, check for codes. you probably need camshaft position sensor

Wipers stopped working & central locking system stopped working on my 2003 range rover

The alarm and the central locking are all part of the remote keying system. You will not fix it with changing fuses because it is likely the ECU needs to be be reset. Unfortunately, it will require a visit to an authorised workshop to do this

I have a 1989 cadillac seville and all of a sudden , the cruse control stop working and when I'm tring to start the car the information center says, wait 3 minutes , then I can start it.

the cruse and the wait to start are most likely not related, the systems are not in common and use to completely different control systems.

lets start with the cruse, what we see fail the most is the cruse switch in the steering collum and this is easy to check if you have access to a automotive scanner, all you need to do is run a switch test with the scan tool, if you don't have a scanner then it would be in your best interest to take this problem to a shop.

the wait to start, is because the pass key system in the car did not recognize the key when you stuck it in the key lock cylinder, this could be just a worn key, or it most likely is a worn key lock cylinder, we replace many of them each year so i think i would try a new key first if the paoblem persists then replace the key cylinder.

Cannot start and interior lights out and alarm led off, door locks dont work

Try unhooking one of the battery cables and leave it off for at least 20 minutes. When you hook it back up the computers should re-boot. That has solved problems for me with heater, interior lites, power windows, AC, day time running lites, power mirrors, CD player, and wipers on GM autos and S-10 PU and Dodge trucks. None of the switches are connected to the device they control anymore. The switch tells the computer to open the window and the computer send a signal to the window motor. When the computer gets confused strange things will happen or not happen.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ON 99JEEP WRANGLER

what you want to do is take a test light find the electrical plug thats hooked to wiper motor, either unhook it and test the plug with switch and key on or poke in the wires and see if it lights test light, if no light then i would say its switch, if it lights than its wiper motor. I don't know of any relay for wipers.

Changed alternator now no horn locks int. lights wipers etc

You probably popped a main fuse somewhere. Check all fuses under hood & dash. Try removing battery cables for a minute or so, in case of resetting breaker involved, just in case.
