    1987 Buick GN 4 Sale - Heavily Mod - 1 Owner

    My apologies. It's been a while since I posted. I will edit the post asap. btw, the fuel injector is bright red. If it looks pink, it's because of the flash. Here's a different angle.

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    PROBLEM SOLVED! Hi all, I'm very please to report that the problem has been solved. After 6 months of searching, researching and using the process of elimination, I discovered that there were three sources of unwanted current bleed into the brown wire causing the parking lights (and therefore...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Hi Folks, Okay, from the wiring diagram, the brown wire from the light switch sends power to the hazard switch, front and rear side markers, turbo/tach lights and to the dimmer switch (I don't have theft deterrent, digital dash, digital clock or opera lights). I unplugged the dimmer switch so...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    One problem solved! The brown wire I eluded to in the opening post is officially called a tan/white wire and it plugs into a slot in the parking brake alarm switch, which is located above the parking brake mechanism. Still not able to discover a loose ground coming out of the chime module... :(

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Hey y'all, I've been out due to knee surgery but I'm back in the driver's seat again! Did some more trouble shooting this weekend. All the fuses check out okay but I think I narrowed down the problem because: 1. When the hazards are engaged, the chime dings with each flash. 2. If I pull just...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Update: * Did research & found pics of the headlight switch connector. Looks like an alarm installer changed the brown wire to red. Looks like there are supposed to only be 4 wires & mine are all in the correct sockets. * Tested the headlight switch and it sends power where it supposed to. *...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Hey, I did replace the headlight switch about a month ago. I still have the old one I can try out. BUT after pouring over wiring diagrams with a magnifying glass, I went back and took off the headlight switch and the dimmer switch. Here's what I found: There are only four (4) wires coming...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Hi All, Update on the chime issue: I discovered that when I disconnect from the dimmer the brown wire that comes from the headlight switch, the issue goes away and the chime no longer sounds when I press the brake with the ignition off. Question: I'm getting ground on the brown wire from the...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Update: So I was looking way up into the dash and saw a panel with sockets above the fuse panel. I put my hand up to feel if any were loose and pop!, the dome light fuse blew. Obviously there is a loose wire somewhere I can't see yet. Been through three car alarms over the past 29 years so...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Okay, doing more research it appears that the flat black wire with the blade connector from the steering column is for the cruise control. I disconnected cruise when installing an aftermarket intake so that's that. I'm thinking that there could be a ground or pinched wire from the chime module...

    Unknown wires & Unwanted Chime

    Greetings! It's been ages since I last started a post. So I finally decided to deal with the sagging plastic panel under the dash by installing a metal brace (see pic). What that did was push the wires up into the dash. Prior to this, everything worked and now there are issues (of course)...

    Need help from DFW area Turbo Buick owner

    Greetings! I had my Turbo rebuilt at a local shop and it is now leaking oil :eek:. The shop insists that it's the motor that's leaking even though the shop that is doing the work for me showed then video of it not leaking with the turbo off. If I give the Turbo to someone else to have it...
