On the 98 Silhouette, the PCM should be located in the air filter housing.

SOURCE: 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette ABS Light is on and

The first thing i would check is all 4 abs sensors at the wheels.You can do this with a volt meter set on ac voltage and spin the wheel if it generates voltage at all on the meter its good.

SOURCE: How do you change a headlight on a 2001 oldsmobile

I don't know if you mean the headlight bulb, or the headlight.

When you open the hood and look at the headlight assembly. At the top between the turn signal there is a black plastic wing nut. Unscrew that wing nut to remove the side marker light. After removing that nut persuade it to slide forward. That's the only thing that locks it in. Untwist the socket to replace the turn signal bulb. Since that is out now...There are two more Wing nuts just like the first one that hold the headlight assembly in place. (The black plastic piece the headlight is mounted to) Remove these two wing nuts and lift up on the whole assembly. Those are the only things that lock it into place. Once you slide it off the studs the wing nuts were on. Unplug the plug from the back of the light (use a flat screwdriver to lift the tab a little). Twist the round plastic ring that holds the bulb in. The bulb should pull out now. Don't touch the new bulb with your fingers as it is a halogen bulb and the oil on your fingers will cause a hot spot on it, causing it to fail SOON. If you happen to touch the glass part of the headlight bulb, clean it with rubbing alcohol. Reverse the steps...go eat dinner.

SOURCE: 03 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3.4L Starter stays engaged at times.

Sounds like time for a new starter. While it could be electrical, in that the starter circuit is remaining engaged, more than likely it is mechanical. As the starter wears, you get play in the starter gear. Replacing the starter should take care of it. If you have recently had the starter off or replaced it, it could be misaligned, causing a similar problem.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info."

My 1997 olds silhouette just had the starter in it changed. It worked great yesterday and today it is not starting. The starter was a reconditioned one from Auto Zone. What could be wrong?

Turn the head lights on , then get someone to turn the ignition switch to the start position , whilst you look at the headlights . When the ignition is switched to the start position and if the headlights go off then replace your battery , on the other hand if the headlights go dim you have a starter motor problem . Before you do this test make sure your battery is fully charged and the battery terminals are clean .

How do I change the headlight on a 2004 Silhouette? It seems really hard to pull out the turn signal assembly that the instructions say to do.

You need to pull the entire assembly, no fear, it is meant to be done that way... Then you can easily change the headlight...

How do you change headlight bulbs on a 2000 silhouette

There are two "wing nuts" securing the entire plastic headlight assembly. One is mounted at the top-inboard(towards engine), And the other is outboard of the assembly. There is also one more plastic wing nut that hold the side marker light assembly Once these three wingnuts are removed, carefully remove the whole assembly. The headlight bulb is contained in the socket... one quarter turn counter-clockwise will remove the socket from the housing.
Good luck and thank you for using Fixya. keep ms posted if you have any other questions.

Ac problems

Sounds like your freon is getting low. Either charge it yourself, which is very easy to do, or take it in for a charge. I have had the same issue with my 98 silhouette.
