[DEADMEAT101]

My friend just got a 1995 oldsmobile Silhouette, rung rough (needs tune up/exhaust) and has a lot of problems that i am hoping are all linked. probelms are as follows:

-Tach/speedometer dont work
-Blower front or rear dont work
-ABS light on
-Traction control light on
-Low gas light on
-power windows dont work
-at full throdle its slow
-radio works sometimes not others
-Chms when lights are on
-auto door not working and a few other problems

is the ECU bad and its in limp mode, bad ground, abs module bad? i checked the relays and fuse to no luck so anyhrlp would be great... THANKS...

I had the same thing happen on my 97 Grand Prix. It wound up being a dead alternator which in turn killed the battery. I would take the Alternator to a Advance Auto or the like, they can test it for free.

Well I think your friend has my van..lol Mine just started acting up with most of the things you mentioned.
Abs light on
low gas light on
dinging with lights on
rmp arent registering
Power windows arent working
No heat

There are probably a few more that I am forgetting, I was hoping you figured out what was wrong with your van. So I kinda know where to start.

yep, i found out it was the ignition switch (electrical not key) it was 12.99 at autozone and only problem is tearing steering column appart to replace it...
