The C-305 connector does transistion from the outside of the vehicle to the inside behind/under the drivers seat. The problems others have had is corrosion inside the connectors (even though it is "waterproof") or pulled wires which are not making a good connection. One owner has taken numerous pictures of how he repaired the connections, the damage he found ... Read More...

I have a 2005 RDV and the only connector even close to this location isn't inside the vehicle but under it and the connector is water proof. I have exhaustedly searched for it inside with no luck. As I said there is one at that location under the car. Read More...

Research the C-305 connection which causes problems such as yours. I believe it is located in the area under the driver's seat and beneath the carpet. Many problems have been caused by the wires in that connector not making good contact, corrosion, or the wires having pulled out of the connector. The fuel pump circuit gets routed through this connection. I would ... Read More...

Sometimes it will not turn on, tries to turn over, but doesn't get gas. This has been happening more frequently and we are unsure what the problem is. My guess is the connection from the fuel pump not getting gas to start up. - we have replaced the pump-and it stilll starts and than stalls- have you had your proble answered yet? Can you help us? Please reply Read More...

2003 CX V6, 72K on the clock. We were averaging 27.3 mpg on Interstate 5 from Sacramento heading south, full load, kids dogs and luggage, AC on all the time. I set the cruise at 65.

We are also more or less happy owners. We bought our 2003 Rendezvous from a dealer in Sept w/73,000 miles. We didn't find this website until after the purchase and we were both very worried. HOWEVER, we used what we read on this site and knew what to look for. We did have to replace the BCM unit shortly after purchasing but my husband ordered the part straight from Buick, ...

Roll Over ratings???

Written by: spike99 on Sep 27, 2007 09:28 PM

. For my wife's 2003 RDV, its Roll Over rating is 3 stars out of 5. For more details, surf contents of "NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING" within: http://www.lotpro.com/cars/2003/buick/rendezvous/safety/ To me, 3 out of 5 for a family focus mini-SUV that's driving 90% of the time in our little village (doing under 30 mph) is "good enough". Probably explains ... Read More...

Many thanks for stating I need Rear Wire harness #18 and to confirm its wire lead colors. Much appreciated. Also found the below "Plug to Trailer" harness wire. Sounds like I only need to find #18 plug and buy one of these. re: http://www.innerauto.com/store/buy.php?make_text=buick&ml=rend-cx-003&model_text- =rendezvous&year=2003&part_name=hitch_wiring_kits&brand_name=hoppy&s=1&my=1 ...
