What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[Northernregal]

Installed a new coolant sensor.... Among a few other things. Build thread updated. 😀

My doors closed OK, but not very smoothly. I finally decided to check for the problem, and found I had a bad hinge on each side of my GN. A top one on one side, and the bottom one on the other side. Luckily, I had a stash of used hinges I had saved over the years from frequent junkyard excursions. So instead of having to rebuild the problem hinges, I was able to just swap the replacements in. I used my Harbor Freight transmission jack (CHINESE) which has a foot long pedestal with a groove running down the middle to support the door while I replaced the hinges, one at a time. Removing the door is not necessary when replacing hinges. Just do one at a time. Now my door closes smoothly -- like butter!

Bernadette needed alternator and belt replacement and since I'm at it I put in a optima(red top) battery that had from my el camino ( I miss Elaine). Now all's good, nice charge and holding. Now I have one thing that I just notice. When the head lights are on I have no turn single, but when the head lights are off the turn single work. Everything works fine and no voltage drop either.
Any ideas of what it could be or if I'm over looking something?

It's probably the headlight switch.

My guess is bad ground.

What did you paint these with?

Check the ground at the turn signal socket; it's a cheesy little ordeal that clips in the side. I dicked around with mine for weeks before I just bought a new socket.
