Hi.
My Suburban 1996 LT 6.5 TD has some boring problems :
1. The wipers doen't work when It's raining (What else should I use them for?). When the weather is fine then the wipers are working. - Can this be a electric problem ? - Some corrosion maybe ?
2. The A/C doesn't work anymore. The A/C switchlight is comming on, but the clutch is not activated. - There is no power to the A/C clutch, and it will therefore not activate. (Do we have to move som of the A/C parts when changing the Fule Pump ? - See the last section)
3. The brakes are acting very strange. When the car has not been used for a couple of days, the brakes doesn't work very good in speeds below 15 km/h (It seems like maybe the ABS is striking in). But after I've used the brakes in higher speeds a coupe of time the brakes are ok again. This has made me feel very uncomfortable a couple of times ....
(I'm using the parking brake on and off once a while to tighten up the brakes, but because of the cold and moist weather in Norway the brakes are freezing if the parking brake is on during the nights)
4. The brakes are acting very strange (2). The brakes are sometimes going on at 100% when I'm in low speeds (Even if I only slightly press the brake pedal). This usualy happends if the car has been parked for a couple of hours and is only happening when it's cloudy weather. - Could there be some coating on the brakes from the misty weather ?
5. Door power unlocking. When I'm trying to unlock the doors with the remote (or the unlock door button), only the driver door is unlocked. I can hear that the other actuators are trying to unlock, but they don't succeed. If I'm only unlocking the rear door, then I'ts ok. All locking is ok. Once a while (If there has been no mist for a couple of days) the unlokcing is ok on all doors, but this does not happend very often....
All of these problems has occured after the car was on repair (The fuel pump broke) in a local Chevrolet repair shop on the other side of the country (In Norway). I don't want thoose guys to touch my car again since there where more troubled with the car after I got it from the repair shop than it was before they got it (The list above is only a small list of all the problems I've got with the car) - And they used 6 (SIX) months to change the fuel pump !!!!!
(Not talking about the extream high price on the invoice that they would have me to pay .... - Approx $8600 when we agreed on 2300$ when they got the car (I have of cource only payed 2300$ which we agreed on). Isn't there a guarantee on the fuel pump for 10 years or 190000km ? - My has "only" 187000km on the road ... )
Any help on any of the items above is very appreciated.
