General Buick Tech / Trans shifter would not shift trans
« on: August 19 2021, 11:03:27 AM »
Hi guys.

I can press shifter button and pull shifter rearward to engage R,N,D etc like normal but when I push forward, the shifter handle moves but does not change gears and no tension/force felt in shifter handle.

Looking under vehicle, the levers and outer manual trans lever all look good. I can move the Trans outer lever manually by hand to shift back to N, R,P.

What’s wrong?  Is the shifter under the center floor console become disconnected?
This is happening at an auto shop where I’m sitting waiting for AC recharge right now.

Thanks.

Anyone know how I can get my password reset on Turbobuick.com?  Every time I try the site says it sent me an email to reset it and I never get one.  And no it’s not being routed to a junk mail folder.

General Buick Tech / Powermaster issues
« on: August 25 2020, 03:50:16 PM »
Hello. Trying to get 2 remaining issues resolved so I can enjoy driving my 85 GN again and looking for advise. One issue is the brakes. I searched through the Powermaster topics and don’t really want to go to vacuum brakes, but to get the PM system working.


Issue I am having is intermittentLy the PM motor will not turn on leaving the inboard reservoir full and hard brakes with brake light. I went through the PM Diagnostics from GNTYPE.org and ended up on step 2 where it took 13 seconds of motor running till brake light went off, I bought and replaced the accumulator ball as recommended. This did not solve my intermittent issue. The diag chart basically says if the ball didn’t work the get a now PM.


When the issue happened, I tried disconnecting the main harness connector and jiggling with no luck. I also tried jiggling the pressure switch connector and the motor did not turn on. However tapping the motor with an 8mm wrench made the motor turn on and suck the fluid down. Any advise out there before I buy a remanufactured one from Kirbans or from GBody where I got the accumulator ball?


I don’t know if I can take the black box apart to look at electrical connectors on the motor housing.
Thank you.
