Will 22 rims fit a 94 Cadillac eldorado?

If you put low profile tires on them they fit, but they may or may not rub depending on the weight you're going to put in your vehicle. In other words with 4 good sized people riding in your car they will rub. You're best bet is to put some 20's on it....that's what I have on my 98 eldo and I never had a problem with them.

How do you remove the oil pan on a 1997 Cadillac Eldorado one of the bolts is impossible to get to?

i have the same problem on my 97 eldorado. the transmission is too close to the bolt to get a socket around it. you would have to take the whole engine out or take it into a repair shop and be sure to tell them exactly what the problem is so that they dont spend a bunch of time looking for something else wasting your money.

Your windshield washer doesn't work check the line but not water seems to be coming through Any suggestion on what could be the problem?

I had this problem with my Villager and continue to have it with my Quest. The Villager went back to the dealer who told me that there were no problems that they could find but it was a common problem with the Quest and Villager. When I need to use the fluid I press and release the switch until the pump kicks on and the fluid sprays. It's a pain but it always comes on after 30 secs. of working the switch. There is a really good Nissan mechanic on allexperts.com who answers 5 questions a day. Sometimes you may have to wait until midnight to get a question in. I also had this same problem with my 97 Quest. It turned out to be a combination of two issues. #1: Crud in the lines, had to use compressed air and a little bit of patience to blow out and rinse the lines a couple of times. # 2 the switch on the steering column as you already know is intermittent. Since I have other issues with the van that are higher on the priority list I've learned where the "sweet spot" is on the switch to get it to work. I simply press in on the switch ( like your supposed to) then gently twist back and forth as if your changing wiper speed until the washer pump energizes. hope this helps.

Why did your heater fan in your Cadillac Eldorado stop running?

I just went through this problem and the fix was relatively easy.. but expensive. First make sure the fan motor is still good by running jumper wires to the fan motor plug .. positive on the right pole. If the fan turns on, it's probably the blower motor control module which is a small panel on the top of the blower box with two plugs on it's top. Remove the 3 screws, unplug the 2 cables and lift out the module. Install and reconnect the new module. I removed the negative battery terminal first to avoid any possible shorting. Next as an extra precaution I did a computer reset.

Reconnect the battery terminal, put the car in park with emergency brake on. Start the car and let it idle ..NO ACCELERATION for 15 minutes or when the engine temperature reaches 200. Next, put your foot down on the brake pedal and hold it for 3 minutes as the engine idles. Now, with your foot still on the brake, put the transmission in "Drive" and turn the A/C control to "auto". Let it run another 3 minutes, then shut the engine off and the car in "Park". When you restart the car the computer will be reset, and all your electronic information panel will be reset. Your gas "miles to go before empty" light should read "LO". After the car is driven a while the computer will update all the information

Where is the turn signal flasher on a 1992 Cadillac Eldorado?

I just changed the turn signal flasher on my '92 Eldo. It IS under the dash to the left of the steering column but it is box shaped more like a relay/module than a round flasher. the round one to the right is for the e- flashers. On my '93 Eldo the signal flasher is up under the dash to the left of the steering column. It is behind the plastic panel that is held on by two screws. Remove the panel and try to locate the flasher unit. It should be something that looks like a small, round can plugged into a connector and held by a retaining clip around the circumference of the can. If you still have trouble, turn the ignition to the "on" position and operate the signal lever. Sometimes it will make the flasher click once. Follow the sound.
Also works for 95,96 an others,Be CARFUL when unplugging because the connector for the flasher may have a muti connector panel without labels and this may cause you to not connect in the same plug,so BEWARE. good luck,part cost about $8- $10
