I just bought a 94 sedan deville and I am wondering what I need to look out for with problems. it already says to service ride control. Can anyone tell me where I can find the drivers side rear upper side marker light cover. Its got a partial vinyl top and right behind the back door on the drivers side it missing the white cover. I was told when I got the car that it was hard to find. Just wanted to see if anyone knows where I can get one .

 

Ok, your service ride control messege has something to do with your active suspension. You may have a bad sensor ($400), a bad shock (1,000), or a faulty wire. Most people replace these suspension systems with a better passive system that is much cheaper. Deville's aren't hard to come by its Cadillac's best selling model.What kind of miles you have on it? Remember this is a 13 year old car so you will have to invest some money in it.

 

Sorry it took me soo long to reply I plan on checking the board more often, To answer your question it has 133K on it. I have another question I am losing antifreeze and had the thermostat replaced. I figured that might be the start of the problem. Are the waterpumps a problem with the 4.9 cause I just traded my 89 and just had the water pump replaced in it. I was told that they had problems with the waterpumps going out on the 4.5's. I also had the system pressure checked and it seemed to be fine dont think its a blown headgasket. There is a weird sweet smell coming from the Radiator kind of like Liquorish. Has anyone heard of that before.

 

Well they found out that the waterpump was definatly bad.I am getting it fixed where I bought the car, they should be done with it tomorrow. thanks for the info

 

Yea, the water pump is a common issue on that motor, better than the head gasket on my northstar. Good luck with the car

 

Thank's you too. I was looking at a 96 with the northstar engine. I like the power of yours better. But my car will do its faster than my 89 with the 4.5 155hp engine. I dont care too much about the speed anymore just want somthing I can fix up to look nice and clean.

 

There also going to flush out my heater core its no getting very hot when I turn the heat on the auto feature. I told them I had an 89 and my heat worked better than this so there taking care of that too .
