Top 10 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada Questions & Answers

I have this problem also, what is holding the passenger side part of the top part of the plastic air box to the firewall?

i got a 98 bravada and my AWD light was on, what i did to fix it was replace the transfer case motor and thats all, i did a bunch of research and found out that the transfer case motor is the main conponent with of your AWD it tells the transfer case when to give the front wheels power. try replacing that

Check to make sure your coolant level is high enough if that is ok then it sounds like your heater hose outlet or intake port may be blocked.

If it is necessary to remove the heater assembly, the cooling system must be drained before removing the heater core.
When a heater core leaks, a new heater core is installed or the old one repaired.
Heater Housing

• The heater housing is usually under the dash and must be removed to gain access to the heater core.
• Procedures for replacing the heater core vary with the year, make, and model of car. It threfore necessary to consult the manufacturer's repair manuals for the proper procedure for replacement.

The heater housing is disassembled to get to the heater core. Heater Core

• Remove the access panels(s) or the split heater/air conditioning case to gain acess to the heater core.
• Remove the heater coolant hoses.
• Remove the cable and/or vacuum control lines (if equipped).
• Remove the heater core securing brackets and/or clamps.
• Lift the core from the case. Do not use force. Take care not to damage the fins of the heater core when removing.
• To reinstall the heater core, reverse the removal steps.

When the heater core leaks and must be repaired or replaced, it is a very difficult and time-consuming job primarily because of the core's location deep within the firewall of the car. For this reason always leak test a replacement heater core before installation.

it may not be that relay. if this happens when the vehicle is idling. look under the dash at the fuse panel. put your finger on each relay. you will feel it if it's the one that is clicking. replay the offending relay.

It's when the security light starts flashing that the infamous "chip" in the key becomes a nightmare to many. Gradually the car begins not cranking anymore or if it cranks it would start and die in a second. Randomly it will do this more and more often until it won't start anymore. VATS, PASSkey and Passlock immobilizer systems are killing cars all over North America, they have a short lifespan and are certainly more effective against owners than thieves. Here is how you save your car
1st trick, Try a spare key that is newer or used less. The pins wear down and so do the keys causing security fail. 2nd trick, (if not starting) turn the key forward 2 clicks till right before it would normally start, leave like that for 10 minutes. ( no less ) After 10 minutes, turn key back then forward and your car might start. I did this in my regal for more than a year. If its shutting down while running, im sorry i have no quick fix... If anything on this page helps you, please remember to comment or give me a thumbs up on the myfixya sight so i can have a better rating to help more people on this. Thanks

Cheap fix: Bypass the chip in your key. Temporary, but effective. Until the TDM (theft deterrent module) in the dash poops out, then you're kinda screwed. I was told that these types of key security systems have a 7-10 year life span. Sucks for us. This link explains the "Key Issue" pretty well.

Never worry again fix: Bypass the whole VATS/Passlock/passkey I or passkey II system entirely. Literally take it out, and throw it away. I just did this in my Regal. Took about an hour. Took longer to find the thing than it did to fix the problem. They sell a unit for 200 bucks to totally bypass this system FOREVER. life time-money back and all that. Finally did this in my car. Well worth the 200 if you've looked into getting this replaced... Anywhere from 600-1000 bucks. If you do buy this, please purchase it thru this link. The cost is the same, but i get credit for the sale and im trying to earn my money back, as you will be able to do if you buy fron NewRockies and join the free affiliate program. Thanks
----- http://newrockies.ca?ap_id=judd0081 ----- With this fix, you can take that whole Vats, passlock, passkey system out of your car all together. Good info on both sites.

It works for:
Any GM or Isuzu Vehicle with VATS or PASSKey or PASSLock security systems.
If your car has the chip in the key or in the lock cylinder, then you can save it with this Full Bypass.

Thanks.

The switch itself is often the problem. It has three resistors in it, and as they get older their resistance changes a bit, confusing the electronic control module that controls the 4WD unit. Once it gets a confusing signal, it stays confused until you turn the car off an back on.
Sometimes turning the car off, moving the switch one position over and then back, and restarting the car will reset it, other times not.
Replacing the switch is usually the answer. The part is about $20, but it takes a shop about an hour to pull the dash apart to get at it, so you're usually looking at about $150 to have it replaced (assuming that is what is really wrong).
Note - if you have an AWD setting for your truck, and it seems to get stuck there, you really should get this fixed. RUnning in AWD setting all the time puts extra wear on the transfer case and to a certain extent the front hubs. The Trailblazer and Bravada should really only be in AWD setting when the roads are slightly slippery.
