I know more than the service manager...
I was at the Buick/Cadillac dealership today to *try* and get some work done on my CTS when an older gentlemen was talking to the service manager. He had brought in his 03 LeSabre. The trouble he was having was that his cigarette lighter wasn't working. The service manager told him that the switch was actually working fine and that the problem was probably in the ignition switch. The old man setup an appointment and got ready to leave. Over hearing the situation, I pulled the older gentlement aside and told him I could fix his problem in five minutes and asked him to pop the hood. He did so, and I showed him that there were two fuse positions in the underhood fuse block. One allowed the cigarette lighter only to be on with the ignition switch, the other, allows it to be on at all times. He went back to the service manager and canceled his appointment telling him "this young man just fixed my problem. Shame on you for trying to rip me off." I consider it my good deed of the day.

Hey Robert! That "young man" over there -- which car is his and what exactly did he think it was in service for?

I believe the rear diff is a known problem with the 2003 to 2004 CTS. I have a bud that got rid of his because the dealer could not fix the problem. He went through 3 rear ends befor he traded it in.
