Re: T53 Trunk flasher option

Usually with all warning lights you would momentarily apply one of the extra wires to ground or power for 1 second to change the flash patterns. One of the other extra unused wires is used to synchronize the lights to flash together or separately. Code 3 and Whelen LEDs have power, ground, pattern c...

Re: 2012 Caprice 9C1 parts car - Atlanta area

Is there a intact spotlight and bracket still on the car? I'm in the Chicago area but would obviously pay for shipping.

Re: Alldatadiy vs Helm manuals?

The first thing I did after getting my Caprice ppv (two weeks ago) was to get the service manual in an online format. I have the Mitchell 1(eautorepair.net) which is similar to alldatadiy.com but alittle easier to navigate. Very helpful for troubleshooting.

Re: Siren behind bumper

No it needs to be connected to a 100 watt siren driver which is part of police "unitrols" which is what activates light and siren. Just putting 12vdc to the speaker will just make a popping noise and is a way to tell if the speaker is good or bad.

Re: keyfob remote distance issue

Maybe throw a fresh coin type CR2032 in the key fob never hurts to try. A low battery in the fob could certainly lower your range.

Re: Pretty Much New 2016 Caprice

Just got a new 2014 PPV with 1200 miles. Oh yes that V6 has amazing performance. I'm just getting used to it and am getting 22-23 mpg. V6 will redline to 7000 RPM opposed to the V8 6200rpm. It is no sloutch and does put out alittle more than 300 bhp.

Re: Service tire monitor system won't go away

Yes it can be done manually through the driver information center. It is in the owner's manual.

Re: Service tire monitor system won't go away

My 2005 Tahoe has a way to relearn the tpms sensors in your own driveway without dealing with the dealer. I have an Mitchell 1 account for my Caprice and there should be a way of getting into the tpms relearn procedure without a tech 2 (GM scan tool). Of course you want to make sure there is a tire ...
