New Caprice - Discussion forums

thanks for the replies....I guess it was not just in my imagination that these are not good winter cars.....I assumed they would be especially since mine was an upstate New York cop car...I can only imagine the fun they had trying to chase someone with the way they handle...I am in Minnesota and bou...

Is it just me or do these cars handle like crap in the winter? this is my third winter with it and it has winter tires but it gets no traction and thanks to the posi it fishtails. Has anyone come up with any ideas to make their car more user friendly in the winter? I bought my Caprice because I figu...

Ok, this is going to sound like a dumb question but I do not like taking any chances with my car. Does anyone know what the part number is for the oil filter for my 2012 caprice with a 6.0 and oil cooler? thanks!

where is the fuse located?

does anyone know what would cause my defroster to not work? it has not worked as long as I have owned the car and it would be nice to use it and the heated mirrors. Just not sure where I should start looking, thanks!

Thanks for the tips everyone...led me right to the fix. Got into the mass of wires under the passenger side dash, and I found this little guy bridging the two blue speaker connectors.
