Car Forum / GMC Cars / July 2005Lumina part - what is it?
Here's an embarassing one: I recently worked on the A/C in my wife's '98 Lumina. In the course of the repair I ended up having to remove the air cleaner box to get access to the low-side port; and I also removed the caps on both a/c ports. Anyway, when I moved the car, this part was laying on the driveway: http://www.frontiernet.net/~johnnyzero/yellowpart.jpg It's a little yellow thingy made of very soft rubber. I thought perhaps it might be some kinda seal for one of the a/c port caps (it fits on either port, but the caps won't go on with it installed). I just wanna make sure it's not something important. Any help will be much appreciated! JohnB Looks like the weather seal from an electrical connector. Steve > Here's an embarassing one: I recently worked on the A/C in my wife's > '98 Lumina.

All that is left is a pesky exhaust leak which I think is the EGR tube and it now needs front brake pads. I just made a 2000km trip from Ontario to Nova Scotia with the car loaded to the roof and it was flawless. Not loosing oil, not overheating, no clunks from the suspension, no vibrations, nothin'. It's amazing how constantly replacing parts makes it run so well. Steve > Agreed, Steve your are the king, how's the Monte doing? > > Looks like the weather seal from an electrical connector.

You're right: it might be the electrical connector weather seal from either the a/c pressure switch or one of the emission thingy's that are connected to the air cleaner housing. I had pulled the connectors off all three. However, aren't those usually oval-shaped, not round? Anyway, I'll check it out and let you know the result. Thanks again, JohnB The only round connector I can see that's around where you were working is the connector going into the top of the tranny. Steve > Thanks, Steve.
