From posts elsewhere i see those years factory Delco am/fm/tape and cd even the Bose fail a lot! Funny...........My failed cass. unit was Indiana USA made! The local Delco service center near me wanted $100 just to look at it ! (United Radio in Syracuse) I bought the car in Fla. with a bad radio and bought a ghetto blaster for tunes on the trip back home to NY. I had a couple working Delco am/fm/cd units on the shelf and installed it. caddy radio.jfif

WOW! What a tuff DIY job. What do you figure that job would cost at a shop?

Here is a list for the 86-91 pull down motor assembly (thanks to Lon at top down solutions)) and which car/year usage FYI that I asked about above: Buick: 1980-93 Electra, 1985-93 Park Avenue, 1980-93 Riviera, 1992-96 Roadmaster Cadillac: 1987-93 Allante, 1980-96 Brougham, 1980-93 Eldorado, 1980-96 Fleetwood Sedan, 1985-93 Fleetwood, 1980-83 Fleetwood, 1980-93 Seville Chevrolet (Chevy): 1986-91 Camaro Chrysler: 1989-91 TC by Maserati Oldsmobile: 1988-93 98 Regency, 1986-89 Toronado Pontiac: 1986-91 Firebird, 1985-92 Grand Am So if your parts yard hunting for a hatch/trunk motor assem. you know which cars to look for. __________________

BTW: The pulldown motor in my 93 Deville has been disabled in the closed position. Must have been a prev. owner mod and broke. It used to kill me bell hops/valet folks SLAM the trunk lid on my Caddys or T/A ! I would say calmly "close it easy...dont slam it!"

If you need parts remember most 82-92 camaro/firebirds used the same pull down motor. Check www.thirdgen.org for repair pics/etc. https://www.top-downsolutions.com/hatch-pull-down-items

Prob. gonna cost sum big money to replace bulbs as the only Delco/GM repair auth. I know of is www.unitedradio.com Some of them old delco units may have bulbs that you can get to with a little disassembly. Prob. some vids on line too......... I would hunt the pic n pull for a Delco am/fm/cd used replacement. Prob. $50 bucks Plug n Play ...DIY

Amen on that Rock! I got 6 cars to keep ridin' dirty on the cheap!

Happy to say my $11 pic n pull BCM still workin' fine! Also my replacement glove box light plunger too! Now goofin' off in Fla. for a bit and it sure is HOT n MUGGY unlike backhome in NY!

Yea its only got 29k miles, auto, cold a/c . BUT it drives crappy, no tilt or cruise...... UGH!

Yea, $11 bucks and got me the glovebox lite n pushbutton, handle covers, trunk release button, a few relays and those big fuses under the hood. Got a shiny new alt. for my s-10 all for $44 bucks. FDC and CCC , chimes, etc all working. New BCM just plugged in and sittin' in glovebox hole till I am sure it works then I can re-assemble. Just glad I could disconnect the BCM wires and hook up new unit to see if it cured the problem. BTW: New/used alt. cured my s-10s intermittant no charge issues also! NOW I can head to Fla. and soak up some sun for a week or so and drive my girls POS Dodge Neon back to NY for the summer. (pray 4 me!)

UPDATE: Had to go to the local pic a part yard for a glovebox light switch, grab bar covers and for $11 bucks a BCM for my Deville and a alt. for my s-10. Since I have read posts on the fuel and climate controls going dark and inop., no chimes I figured I would replace the BCM. I just left the old BCM in place, removed plugs then plugged in new unit and let it rest in glovebox hole to test. EVERYTHING works! Display, chimes etc! Will leave the new BCM that way for a couple days to make sure the problem is solved then reassemble correctly.

Hey all! My 93 Deville is having a intermittent fuel center and climate control going dark. They will reappear if I shut off car, open and close door (to reset the light timer) and restart car. I note the fender guide lights also dont work along with the key and lights on chimes. Fuses ok, swapped relays and maxi fuses around also. Body Control Module dying?

Its all still GM factory untouched except for the heater core hoses. No overheating. Still haven measured temps at heater core. STILL gotta hit up Harbor Freight for one of those insta. temp guns. to check. Winter rat heat cranks!
