General Buick Tech / Headlight switch chime
« on: September 07 2020, 02:30:45 PM »
I have something here that I have never noticed before. My battery recently went dead while sitting. To check for a draw just to be sure, I checked with a test light from Neg cable to the neg. battery and light lit. Next I used my multi meter in the same position and got 14MA draw that way. I have read here and believe that is an acceptable amt of draw, but I just now noticed that when i touch the neg cable to the battery I get 1 single "Ding" that comes either from the headlight switch or that immediate area.I have never noticed this before but wonder now if my headlight switch might be a problem or if this is normal.

I tried as I might to search this problem but didnt find anything. This year when I brought car out after the winter,it started then stalled. scan master displayed only dashes---------.I did do some searching online and someone said unhook the orange wire at the battery, remove the ECU and the chip to check connections. did that, put it back together and at 1st it was the same, i left it alone (discouraged) came back to it and turned key on and Scanmaster said 2.1 and it started. Seemed like maybe a connection was dirty and it was corrected. Now today I started the car to go for a little ride and got only up the rd and it stalled like I shut it off with the key.Now when I turn the key on it is back to just dashes from the Scanmaster, but now sometime it goes to display 2.1 then changes to dashes and still wont start.It just cranks over. I am not really sure where to go with this,now any help would be appreciated.
thanks

I have had a look at an old post (2014) about the chime on 87 Grand National for key in ignition and lights left on. It was said to fight your way under and behind the dash. 2 questions... if I understand does the same box operate the chime for when the key is in and when the lights are left on? 2nd quest...what color and approx size is the box(chime)?thank you for any help anyone can be with this

General Buick Tech / headrest and seat belt guide
« on: July 19 2014, 10:24:07 PM »
I am trying to find out what the seat belt guides screw into(inside the headrest) I'm trying to install a set of guides, as my car 87 GN was missing them when I got it. It doesn't seem like they can just be screwed into the foam of the headrest cause it wont tighten up.

General Buick Tech / Mouse nest smell from blower
« on: September 01 2012, 09:17:55 PM »
Kinda new to this forum and have a question that I can't find anything further on by the search of this forum. Just a quick bit of background info...My '87 GN has what seems like a mousey smell  (pretty bad, then goes away) when I turn on the A/C or the heater with the blower fan. I have a faint smell with everything shut off. i have searched out the interior and found a small nest starting under the back seat. Got rid of it and replaced the sound deadening material between the seat and the trunk (which is where the nest material came from) I have now as per Steve Woods site taken the top off of the A/C box to reveal the inside with the hope of finding a nest but it's all clear and clean. Now the question...has anyone had this problem and is is possible to get in and build a nest on the underdash area of the heater? Also , how would I got about checking this. I also should say that after the under seat thing I have never found any debris at all in the car or on the rug.
sorry so long and thanks
Paul
