Why does your Battery go dead in your 1988 Cadillac?

either the battery is bad or there is an electrical draw in the car. a simple test to check for a short or draw, with a hot battery in the car remove either battery cable but only one place a test light one end on the battery and the other on the removed cable if the test light glows for a second or 2 this is normal , if it glows steady there is a draw in the car , remove the fuses one at a time until the test light goes out , once the light goes out this is the circuit where the problem is located . if the light never goes out then it is most likely bad diodes in the alternator. happy hunting.

How do you turn the traction control off?

Most vehicles have a switch to do this. If there isn't one you will probably disable the antilock brake system at the same time if you pull the fuse or unplug it. Anyway, look in the owners manual for the fuse to pull or simply unplug a wheel speed sensor and the ABS & the TRAC will shut down (lights on dash will come on). Then you need electrical tape to put over the dash lights so they don't drive you crazy.

Neither of the above is a recommended thing to do...

Well I'm not 100% sure but I know you have to start by putting down the back seats. Then you take out all the plastic molding, then you lift up the top cover that is on the speakers. I wish it were as simple as going through the trunk but its not. Hope this helps.

How do you change the belt for the water pump on a 1996 Cadillac Eldorado?

I'm familiar with most Caddilacs and I believe its a serpentine belt that controls all the pulleys. If that is the case, follow these directions, if not Caddillac has a great forum web site that would address this. It's sponsored by indiviuals but Cadi Techs sign on for help.First read these directions carefully and see if removal of the battery will help you. I didn't need to on my Seville and eldorado but they were late models than yours. If you can get your hand to all those pulleys, you're straight. You will need a, or should get a, 1" ratchet wrench. The pulley on the top right side of the engine is the tension pulley and has 1" hole in the arm resting towards the back of the engine. Insert the wrench and make sure it's in tight (theirs quite a bit of tension there).Pull the wrench toward the front of the engine (with your ratchet wrench set accordingly, tightening position. This will lift the pulley and loosen the belt. Slide the belt off the components, paying attention to where and how the belt winds around the components. You should do this first as the diagrams can be a little confusing. You can bring the tension pulley back down but be aware of where it is resting, it may be neccassary to jam a wrench or pry bar against the block to keep it from hitting the alternator fan or other frail component, Be careful of those power steering lines that run around there. Next, check all those pulleys for sounds or stiffness, except for the flywheel they should move freely by hand (except the air conditioner but I can't remember). There's sometimes a reason that a belt has gone bad other than wear and tear. Install the new belt in reverse, aligning all the pulleys around the belt accordingly. This is perhaps the trickiest part because you work your way to the top from both sides of the engine. The trick is to slip the belt under the tension wheel, while pulling the wrench forward and keeping the belt on the alternator and power steering pulley. Two knowlegeable hands are better than one but If you've done it in the middle of a snowbank in south Boston, it becomes second nature. Eyeball the final product and be sure the pulley rests in the middle of each pulley past the edge. This is especially cumbersome on the fly wheel on the bottom of the engine. If it's resting off the lip, you must loosen the pulley and reach down to push it onto the pulley, so it doesn't wear out the belt prematurely. Once again two hands, one under the wheel well on the bottom ofthe engine, and one lossening the belt slightly, are better than one. One little trick for the future. Should your AC ever go on you and the pulley seizes, you can get out of a financial jam by buying a smaller belt and winding around past the AC pulley. Some Auto Stores specify your belt without the AC. Otherwize you wind an old cut belt past the AC, under the tension wheel while you raise it to where it usually sits, and cut off the excess belt. Take it to the auto parts store and have them match it up. Rock and roll.

Heater on M reg Frontera blowing cold air...any solutions please?

Answeryour heater core may need replacing, refer to your manual, and pick up a new one at a part shop AnswerIs your temperature gauge reading cold?Your thermostat may be stuck open.Is there enough coolant/antifreeze in system? Is the cable that actuates the heater control unit functioning properly?

Answer 3

More likely you have run out of coolant. The coolant heats up as it circulate throughout the engine. The hot coolant produces the heat as it passes through the heater radiator matrix, where the fan blows off the hot air.

Check you dont have a coolant leak, and dont let it run out if you are driving it or you will bugger the engine.

Where is the fuse box on a 1998 Cadillac eldorado?

On my 96 eldorado there are 3 fuse boxes. 2 in engine compartment 1 in trunk. The regular fuse box in engine compartment is on the drivers side under a plastic panel with an access door that you slide up and pull open, it's about 4"x4" and is marked fuses. The second one is maxi fuses and relays and is under the plastic cover, you have to pull the large plastic cover up and out to access this one. The one in the trunk is located on the back of the seat, drivers side. Pull the black material down to access the fuse panel. on your 98, again this is on my 96.
