96 seville sts - electrical
 
hey guys, i just got my hands on a used 96 seville sts, here are the issues.

one i'm getting service emissions, for a maf volume error code..so i'm assume just needs a new maf.

secondly. sunroof dosen't work.

third. abs sensor light ison

fourth. the traction control light stays on...i'm not sure if thats normal or not, but i press the traction control button in glove compartment and it does nothing.

fifth. the controls for the climate control dosen't work....i can turn the nob to raise and lower temps, however it never gets cold, and when switching between modes it shows its switching, however air only comes from defroster vents, wont switch to feet, or front ect.

one - you may be right but check it to see if it is clogged or needs cleaning first. I have seen them all carboned up.

secondly -check fuses

third & fourth - abs runs traction control so these are probably related- sensor problem?

Fifth - does A/C compressor click on and off, maybe you need a leak test and recharge.

hey bro, thanks for the reply.

as far as the ac goes, i do not hear the compressor kicking on or anything of that sort.....all i can do is raise and lower numbers and change the fan speed which seems to work, but cant switch between feet/defrost/face ...seems as though heat is just coming from it....i'll do another once over on all the fuses, but thsy seemed to all be fine...i checked the ones in the trunk on left side.

Car has vacuum actuators for air doors. Check for vacuum leaks, HVAC will default to defrost if no vacuum to programmer. Vacuum leak(s) can cause MAF code.
