Also...you said the cruise doesn't work....do you have any lights on in the gauges? If your trac off/abs/service vehicle lights come on it's a bad speed sensor in your wheel hub. Get a scanner and find out which one...then replace hub assembly. Cruise control will work again. If not...idk what it is....could be a bad cruise module?
Windshield wipers.....there is a thread on it with no answers....try replacing the wiper motor and check if the wipers are bolted down tight enough (prob are but worth checking). |
Just checked and one of my small break lights from the middle section is out, but i am not sure how long it have been out. I lost my cruise about 1-2 years ago.
Also, i have had a thin black wire that have been just dangling near my hood release. i thought it might be a cruise control ground... which might explain some of my cruise issues, but i tried grounding it near my drivers side fuse panel. didn't seem to help, but that was before i checked my break lights. I have no idea where it goes, and am a little leery to start taking things apart.
I still need to check under the hood to see if the cable popped off the throttle body.... not really sure what i am looking for there. But i will look for loose cables.
tw0 - yes yours is another Alero i have been admiring.... looks amazing. i have been thinking about either getting a hood scoop or investing in a new hood...
If i get a scoop or hood, and a new body kit.... any thoughts on getting the stuff painted??? like do it myself or recommendations for taking it to... a place known for good/affordable work?
