kinnsk Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 We have a 93 Riviera that's been in the shop for about a month now with electrical issues. Started with all lights on the all electrical dash coming on and flickering. Three shops later they sent the cluster from behind the dash to a place on the east coast (we're in San Diego) to rebuild it. Came back, still showing intermittent error codes but only when installed, so better but not 100%. They sent it back to the east coast, got it back and it's still showing intermittent error codes. I'm obviously a novice to all of this, but I think the shop we're with is doing a fare job of trying to debug, I'm just wondering what to try next... Any advice appreciated, the car is in good shape and has sentimental value but needs to pass smog for it's next registration and I'm at a loss what to do next. I'm worried we're on the path to donate as non-operational, which would be just so sad on all fronts. As is, since the car is having issues beyond us, even if we get it working we will likely need to sell to someone who can better take care of and appreciate it.

RivNut Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Re-post this concern in the Reatta forum. Lots of Reatta owners and the Riviera and the Reatta are basically the same car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byondxtrme Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Possible body control module???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnsk Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thank you both. The shop is looking into the other control modules and said they are currently suspecting the body control module, but are trying to confirm before sending it out so thank you for that tip. I'll also repost in the Reatta forum as advised. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byondxtrme Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 May sound crazy but I have had a friends Saturn do the same but was just the alternator overcharging, sending 18 volts through the system freaking everything out. Easy check for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
