Randy this car is related to a Buick Lucerne. My neighbor has a 2011 Lucerne and the fuse box under the rear seat melts the plastic where the fuel pump relay goes. We went through 2 fuse boxes that melted the terminal where the fuel pump relay plugs in so we bought a separate 30 amp universal relay and wired it directly to the battery and directly to the wire that leads to the fuel pump that was removed from the factory fuse box. I put a stand alone 30 amp fuse between the new relay and the battery bus bar next to the battery. I think the computer supplies a ground signal for closing the relay so you tie the 86 terminal to the 12 volt power and the other wire i think is black w a blue stripe went to the other side of the magnetic coil in the relay. When you switch the ignition switch on the computer sends a ground out and the relay latches and the fuel pump runs a few seconds then shuts off till you start the car. I did this 2 years ago and they are still driving it daily . 3 places could not figure out why the car died all the time! I can send you a diagram of what I did to fix this very common problem.

[@thedant21]

This issue almost caused my parents to get divorced 😂. Issue showed up while they were visiting my sister (Louisville KY area to Decatur GA.) My dad burned through 16 relays and was on the phone searching for more while my mom called a hotshot broker and finally got it picked up. A Meineke full service center figured it out and said it’s super common. Replaced the fuse block and it’s been fine since.

What makes missing cats even WORSE is that even if you find used ones at the wrecking yard, they can't sell them to you!! Nor can people sell them on ebay unless they are generically listed as scrap metal with nothing identifying which car they fit. THANKS, federal government!

[@dcformee123]

That's actually not a limousine that's actually called a funeral car? It carries the families when the decedent's families would ride in it. The more you know LOL

[@houseofno]

You're confusing a hearse with a limousine. A hearse typically resembles a station wagon using either a factory station wagon body or converted by an aftermarket company. That casket isn't going to fit into a standard limousine's trunk area, which is the reason for the rear station wagon style bodystyle. Additionally, this Cadillac is a unibody car, and isn't likely to have the structural strength to carry a heavy casket, so for a hearse, the body is either fitted to a body on frame type of vehicle or even a truck frame is used.

[@flotowncomputerguy6243]

If it has dual climate, the whole AC issue may be that the previous owners mistook a partially bad actuator for a bad AC. GM used really crappy parts, a two piece metal and plastic gear that was known to break off teeth, so it may work in one direction but not the other. If you hear any weird grinding when you try to set the temp zones, that's most likely your issue

It has three blend door actuators under the dash. The one that’s messed up is on the right so you can get to it from the passenger side footwell. You can take the thing apart carefully, clean it & lube it up and it will probably work fine for a while, but they only cost $18-20 so you may as well replace it and not have to lay on your back down the road (assuming that you do keep the car)

[@addicted2bass87]

It would be really interesting if you could figure out what funeral home this belonged to. It may also shed some light on why it was parked. Could have been the fact that they couldn't get the AC working. OR it's quite possible that the funeral home went under and the limo was left abandoned on the property for years. It's not all that unusual for funeral homes to close suddenly or be shut down for illegal/unsafe practices like improper storage of corpses, etc. That could also explain why the cat was taken. Thieves may have come there after the funeral home was shut down looking for copper and grabbed the cat while they were there.
