I can't say that I've ever heard of such a message and I doubt if anybody else has. It may be that you're misunderstanding the meaning of a warning light?

Take your car to a carshop and ask them to to do a diagnostic error code check. Often they will do this for free..

If they detect any error code they'll be able to tell you what the fault is

buy a workshop manual that has all the details and photos and follow the procedure stated
better still have an accredited pump specialist shop do the job

How to replace starter switch assembly in 2001 pontiac bonneville

Starter switch ? You do mean ignition switch , the thing on the dash or steering column that you stick the key in ! You car not starting ? The ignition switch isn't the same anymore , sends Discrete Ignition Signals to a module ,in the case of your vehicle it is the DIM - dash integrated module.
The body control system consists of the following 3 modules:
?€¢
The dash integration module (DIM)


?€¢
The instrument panel integration module (IPM)


?€¢
The rear integration module (RIM)

Each of the 3 body control modules integrate a number of functional systems under the control of a single module. Each of the modules are connected to the Class 2 serial data line; many control signals are implemented by Class 2 messages.
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the DIM. The PMM receives 4 signals from the ignition switch.
To determine the correct power mode the PMM uses the following circuits:
?€¢
Accessory voltage


?€¢
Ignition 1 voltage


?€¢
Ignition 3 voltage


?€¢
Off/Run/Crank voltage


Your best bet would be to take to a repair shop that has knowledge of this type system . You probably don't need an ignition switch.
Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 voltage, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.

I have a 2007 cadillac cts with a no crank no start problem. The TC light is on as well as the theft protection light and the check engine light, but it will not say anything. What could be the pro?

It won't talk to you ? explain that . Is the battery an cable connections good ? Do the headlamps shine bright ? Does the theft light flash when trying to start the vehicle ? Do you know how complex your vehicle is ? The number of control module's on the vehicle , what GMLAN serial data communications are ? What happens when you turn the key to start ? The ignition switch is a low voltage input to the BCM - body control module system , the BCM turns on relays an sends messages to other modules to start the vehicle , turn thing's on etc... Why the GMLAN
The body control system consists of the following 2 modules:
?€¢
The dash integration module (DIM)


?€¢
The rear integration module (RIM)

Each of the 2 body control modules integrate a number of functional systems. Each module is connected to the class 2 serial data circuit, many of the control signals are implemented by class 2 messages.
Dash Integration Module (DIM)
The various dash integration module (DIM) input and output circuits are described in the corresponding functional areas as indicated on the DIM electrical schematics.
The DIM functions include the following:
?€¢
The cigar lighter relay control


?€¢
The class 2 communication requiring DIM interaction


?€¢
The exterior lighting control


?€¢
The headlamp washer control


?€¢
The hood ajar switch input w/export


?€¢
The horn relay control


?€¢
The interior lighting control


?€¢
The load management


Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the PMM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag serial data. If the engine run flag serial data is True, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to RUN. In this state the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.
Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open, or 0 voltage, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.
I'd say your best bet is take your vehicle to the dealer or some other qualified repair shop .

When i drive my car it makes a sound that sounds like a manual car driving in reverse, this happens in 2,3,4 gear, i took it to the workshop but they say there is nothing wrong

When did you last change trans fluid and filter? Did shop do this and inspect trans pan for metal particles? Sounds like trans wear.

What does "wrench" symbol mean in message center?

Wrench means, workshop needed. If it does not come back, no problem. If it keeps coming back, visit a repair shop.

2003 Buick rendezvous fuel lines corroded and must be replaced. Where can I find all three fuel lines ( salvage) what do they look like, is there part numbers, and what else required to repair?

You'd have to recognize the fuel pipes if you're taking them from a scrap car in a breakers yard. You would of course be taking them from an identical model, so there would be no mistake.

However, replacing metal fuel lines is usually done by buying a kit which compromises of metal tubing which is cut to length (with screw tread adaptors put on each end, then the end of the tube is 'flared') and then bent to shape.

If you're handy with tools, fitting new fuel lines is no big deal.

Probably the cheapest and easiest way of replacing the lines is to find a workshop (or car accessory shop) which can make the fuel lines for you. Remove the lines from your car and take them to the workshop/shop and get them to make a copy. There will be a bit of bending and 'jiggling' required when fitting the new fuel lines.

You can buy the kit do do it yourself - the kit includes metal tubing, flaring tool and threaded adaptors. Having said this, you'd probably only ever use the kit once. A workshop/car shop is probably the best option.

Do a Google (or Ebay) search for the likes of 'Buick fuel/gas line'. Something will turn up for you.
