Where is fuse box located on a 1998 Cadillac Catera?
It's below the left end of the dashboard, but you have to remove the knee board (the padded curved panel under the left side of the gauge cluster) first for access to the fuse box. Once the plastic clips at the bottom corners of the knee board have been loosened with a short big bladed screwdriver, use your palms to lift both ends of the knee board near its top to release the blind studs behind its upper corners that line up with slotted holes. (Reverse the process when reinstalling the knee board making sure the studs have seated in the slots before retightening the plastic clips at the same time you hold the board firmly up against the bottom of the dashboard). Now, this is important: You cannot rely on the diagram in the owners manual (page 6-57) or the labels on the fuse box to know which fuse controls which circuit -- but you can rely on the ampere values for the fuses. (It's more complicated and some circuits use non-standard fuses). If a fuse is burnt out, you'll have to find it by trial and error moderated with a little educated guessing. If you're attempting to perform a repair that has not blown a fuse, you're outta luck unless there is an electrical test you can perform.

Why does your Bose stereo cut on and off at random 99 catera?
It's the body control module. The cateras are famous for this. It is located behind the right kick panel (passenger side floor board, panel to the right). You can't miss it. I believe it has two to three wire harness's plugged in it. After replacement you will have to take your vehicle to the dealer to have it programmed so the radio will work. It contains a code that matches your radio to help deter theft. Hope this helps

How many coil packs does a 98 Cadillac Catera have?
IT Has 1 you can disassemble the cowl lever & wiper motor to get to it.
Jody, I guess that you move your steering wheel while your gear selector is in park. If you turn your steering wheel either direction while in park, the key will not turn. To release, turn the steering wheel to the center and turn the key. This is an easy problem to avoid--don't touch the steering wheel when the engine is off and the gear selector is in park. Mike
What does a P0155 02 heater circuit bank 2 sensor 1 on a 1999 cadillac catera cost to install?
It depends on who does it. GM dealers will charge you $100 - $200 including parts. I can be changed by anyone with mechanical ability for much less. The cost of the part will vary from $90 from GM to as low as $40 from after market suppliers. If you get the one without a a plug, it will require labor to cut the old plug off and reattach it to the new one.
it means your day time lights are on.

How much does it cost to replace a Cadillac Catera serpentine belt?
I just replaced mine because the automatic tensioner pully locked up (which from what I've found online was actually recalled though since I got mine used I was never informed) & melted the pulley & belt. The tensioner was about $90 & belt was about $40. All in all it took about 2hrs to replace both parts & get it up & running again. Good Luck!
Pull the shifter boot up away from the console, look inside on the left side of the shifter is a yellow lever...start car, foot on brake, you should hear a release solenoid click under the dash, above the brake lever. This solenoid supplies power to the shifter release solenoid(inside the console, left side) push down on the yellow lever while lifting up on the shifter release and the car(?) will be able to be moved into other gear ratios. If you release the yellow lever and push the shifter fwd into PARK it will lock again and will require this manual release each time. The yellow lever is the manual release for the solenoid next to the shifter assembly, left side. Either replace it (don't have part number) or manually bend the upper tab of the solenoid that holds the shift lever in park. It's probably cheaper but perhaps not as safe. I could use the part number if anyone has it....
