The parking brake pedal is inside your car, pull it up when in drive Each wheel has a hub bearing. In the front the axle runs through it. These hub bearings also provide rotational speed for the ABS system. If you get under the car you will notice a wire coming of the hub bearing behind the brake rotor, it should be plugged in. Check both sides to make sure they are plugged in. Here is a photo of the hub bearing, the wheel is bolted to it when its in place, notice the wire coming off of it its laying in the black tray on the ground This is a photo of the ABS unit, lower left shiny, you see a row of electrical connectors at the top, make sure that the rectangular plug is securely plugged in, its tricky Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeb Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 stiff steering and bad tie rods? shoud have replaced the rack when the trans was out. it does sound like a lot of things were left unplugged or perhaps not unplugged when the cradle was dropped and that resulted in the wire harness being pulled and or torn.

BodybyFisher Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Dana, as I mentioned over the phone, check for grounds that were left off. You really should get the car up in the air. There are a couple of main wiring harnesses that have grounds disbursed throughout them. Here is that thread I was talking about with regard to the lean condition. When they pulled your engine out they could have damaged the plenium rubber collar see my post #6 in this thread to see its location >> http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=17516 Listen carefully its possible they cracked the intake jockeying the engine around also, listen for air sucking sounds.

thaghost87 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok so i checked out the abs box and hub sensors... everything was connected, but there is a gray latch that wasnt down completely on the connector that went into the abs box. i did notice some light green grease over a lot of the parts on the right side of the trans (see pics). i disconnected the connector, reconnected it then disconnected the battery and the lights were still lit. i then shifted the trans with my foot on the brake firmly. the lights went on and off as i switched thru park, R, N, and D. i then noticed that they stayed off after shifting for about the 6 time. i turned the car off, let it sit for about two min and then back on and the lights were still off. i drove about a quarter mile to a gas station and the lights stayed off. i went back to where i was and parked for about 30 seconds. drove about 3 blocks and the lights came back on with the SSS message. Then after another 5 blocks or so i started to get the service trans message. i got home, parked the car and ran the codes. some new and some old... dont understand why i keep getting different codes almost everytime i drive. C1246 C1248 C1254 P0171 P0174 P0732 C0710 AND I GOT U1040 A COUPLE TIMES FOR DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. here are some pics from when i was under the car... does anyone know what the first two pics are? this tube was disconnected, i replaced it with some tape to hold it in place this is one end of the tube this is under the housing here are pics of where the grease seems to be commin from... u can also see a loose clamp, i couldnt find what it was holding here is my abs box and the connector...

Logan Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Put a big *smurf* hose clamp on it. I doubt the car will feel the clamp there.. You've loss some grease. But mostly likely ok. Bad clamp.

thaghost87 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 i saw some where in a post where it was said that a batt voltage of 14.8 is high.... mines is usually right around there, usually when the car sit for long periods of time and then i start it up i get a high rpm 1000(i also hear a noise similar to a vaccum, and can feel some movement of the engine), then after about a minute or two the rmp drops to about 600 or so(noise goes away). also before i bought the car i remember the guy telling me that the radio wasnt working and that it was something with a wire or something. he said he had a mechanic to look at it and got the radio to work, could they have possibly did something wrong with some wiring of the radio(cd changer doesnt work)??
