How do you replace the fuel filter on a 1979 Pontiac Bonneville?

Asked by Wiki User

If the car has the original Rochester carb on it, the filter is inside it. Follow the fuel line to the carb. There you will see what looks like a large hex nut. Loosen that and inside there is the filter available at any auto parts store.

How do you turn off the hazard lights in a 1996 Bonneville?

Asked by Wiki User

IF YOU REALLY DO HAVE THIS Q IN THE CORRECT SECTION..... the lights have come on automatically because of the automatic safety inertia switch turning on the hazard lights, automatically unlocking all doors and turning off fuel injection system immediately you got stuck in the beemer!! Drive more carefully.....To cancel the auto switch after checking it is absolutely safe to do so, reset by pressing it.....its mounted under the bonnet in the right or left hand corner, or under the dash at left or right or centre or occassionally under driver's seat depending on year/ model....it's got a soft rubber cover over the button- make sure everything is turnoff and it's SAFE!! to turn fuel back on!

How do you change a thermostat in a 1996 Bonneville?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Find the upper radiator hose then follow it to where it is clamped to the engine. That mounting is the thermostat cover; remove it and the thermostat is inside. When you replace it make very sure you put the new one in correctly. It should be marked or have a picture of how it faces in the instructions.

Asked by Wiki User

hey , well open the hood , disconnect the battery .get uder the front of the vehicle. you should know what a starter looks like ........ theres a small bolt holding the wire and a dirt protector that must come off first. then you'll be able to access the two 15mm bolts , you'll need a socket extention to reach the one in the back. their parralel to each other/ front bolt back bolt/ then a 5/8 socket to remove the feed wire from the battery to the starter unit and i think a 1/4" to remove the smaller terminal screw. take care in removing, there's a little bit of a shift and twist to get it out- remember too that you need to check both pos n neg wire connections to the batery, clean them and also check continuity of cables.... good luck. takes me about 15-20 mins to remove

[check your starter. that was the problem with mine. 94 G20] Original Answer

We just fixed my sister's '95 G20 start problem and ours was a recessed pin in a connector in the starter relay wire (the small wire that's attached to the starter). but there are a few tests you can do;

1. This one is simple: make sure everything is hooked up like you were going to start it on a normal day, then turn your headlights on and try to start it. If it sounds like it tries and the headlights dim (even a little) it's likely a dead battery. if there's a click/no click and then nothing and headlights don't dim, you've got an open somewhere in the starter circuit.

2. If the engine cranks over no problem, but just won't start firing and driving itself, you've likely got either a dead fuel pump or a clogged fuel line/filter.

3. have someone listening under the hood when you turn the key to the on position to make sure the clutch inhibitor relay is clicking (should click once when the key is turned to the on position).

If you're a Do-It-Yourselfer, here's some solutions you can try. If not, take it to a mechanic and tell him/her your findings and let them go from there.

1. If you have a multimeter/voltmeter and ohmmeter, you can investigate an open fairly easily-BE CAREFUL with the voltmeter test as you will have to have the battery plugged in. start by pulling the starter fuse (if it's like my sister's, it'll be tucked underneath the front driverside quarter panel under the hood, (should be able to access it just behind the battery). you can do an ohm test on the fuse itself to make sure it's good (if it's not transparent, otherwise just look at the metal arch inside it to see if it's separated). then a voltage test with the red lead in one side of the fuse plug and the other on the negative side of the battery or a good ground like the frame or the engine; you should get 11.9v-12.4v. (if you don't get voltage try moving the red lead to the other side of the fuse plug). Do you get voltage? Yes: your issue is farther down the line, closer to the starter motor. No: you have an open between your battery and the fuse. continue testing this way all the way to the starter motor. once on the other side of the ignition switch you can switch to ohm testing, just make sure the key is in the OFF position or you'll fry your tester. Here's a couple wiring diagrams for manual or automatic transmission:

How do you fix a broken gas gauge on a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library

U disconnect the wire @ the sending unit-the gauge should either go 2 empty or full THEN ground the sending unit wire & the gauge should do the opposite IF the guage does this then U need A SENDING UNIT-NOT A Guage.check with the key on 4 a short period of time.BE VERY CAREFUL IF ITS THE SENDING UNIT

If you want to clear the codes to shut off the check engine light you can disconnect the negative battery post for a minute, this will clear the memory but if you haven't fixed the reason the light came on in the first place it will only come back on again.

How do you replace the radio in 1999 Pontiac Bonneville?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, you will need to gently pry the dash trim panel off. It is one panel the whole way from the radio, over the steering wheel, and over to the headlight switch. Use a flat bladed screwdriver or other similar tool and gently work pulling each push fastener out. Once the panel is removed, there are several small bolts or screws on each side of the radio. Remove these and the radio should slide out. Once you remove the wire harness plug and antenna lead the radio should be free. If you are replacing with a factory style, installation is reverse. With other radios you should be able obtain a harness plug adapter. blitzinger@hotmail.com

When this was happening on my 1999 3.8 Liter Intrigue, I suspected the starter switch, but when I took it in to have it looked at, all it was, was a worn out Battery. They replaced the Battery and the problem went away.

On a 1995 Pontiac Bonneville dash lights do not come on if headlights are off radio display lights up if headlights are turned on radio display turns off and dash does not light up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The instrument cluster lights have their own fuse. It's a 5 amp at the bottom center of the fuse block. When the lights are on, the radio draws lamp power from the instrument cluster. This allows you to dim the brightness of the radio display with the other internal lamps.

Is the 400 in a 1968 Bonneville a small block 400?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No there is no "big" or "small" block Pontiacs. The terms "small" and "big" block are Chevy & ford terms. Pontiac blocks were thesame physical size from the 1955 287 right through the last 400 cast in 1978. All blocks had a bore centerline of 4.62 inches, which puts them right between the small block Chevy (4.40 inches) and the big block Chevy (4.84 inches). There were short deck versions built- the 1969-1970 303 race engine (about 25 made), and the production 265,301 built from 1977-1981.

ALL 287,316,326,350,347,370,389,400,421,428,455 engines are the same exterior block dimensions.
