Cadillac Fleetwood
This category covers questions about the Cadillac Fleetwood, a full-sized luxury sedan manufactured by General Motors and sold through its Cadillac division. The Fleetwood was produced from 1947-1996 and was subsequently produced again in 1999 for one year only. The Fleetwood was originally the flagship model for Cadillac until it was discontinued.

How do you remove dash from a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwod?
1. With both doors open. Remove the A-Pillar trim by gently pulling outward, there are two clips. beware that the A-Pillar trim extends alll the way down the door jam. You make have to pull the lower door trim off to get this out.
2. Remove the wood trim pieces (2).
a. One 6 inch piece on the left side of the steering wheel.
b. One 3 foot piece on the right side.
Take a flathead screwdriver and gently pry back away from the dash, work your way from the door toward the stereo.
3. Remove the screws that are placed under this trim. There are 3 on the right side and two on the left. Size 7mm and 10mm.
4. Lift the defroster vent out of the middle of the dash. It isn't secured down by screws. Disconnect the sensors from the panel by twisting them.
5. Pull towards the back of the car to clear the alignment pins, then pull up.

Still having the problem? This happened to my brothers 91 Skylark...He would come off of the highway and when pulling up to a stop sign or signal light, it would stall...Putting it in park it would start right up again...Then into drive and it would stall unless he gave it lots of gas then sometimes it would go without stalling...Turned out to be a solenoid in the transmission (I believe it was called the torque converter lock solenoid or something like that)...$200 at the local Chev dealer fixed it... The service manager knew exactly what it was when we called and described the symptoms... You may want to change the transmission oil and filter first. It worked fine in my case.
How do you bypass the pass key fault on 94 cadillac fleetwood?
Alright, let's begin the madness:
1. Take your DMM, set it to measure Ohms (use the 20k setting.) Measure the resistance across the pellet of the ignition key. Place one probe on the silver part of one side of the pellet, and the other probe on the other side. Write this value down.
2. Purchase a resistor or resistors that add up to the value measured in step 1. Radio Shack is a great place to go for the resistors, heat shrink tubing, and the "bullet-style" solderless connectors.
3. Take the 16 ga. wire and cut into 2 four-inch pieces.
4. Strip off approx 1/16" of insulation off each side of both wire pieces.
5. Put your resistors together in series (or if you're lucky and have a chip that has a resistance that matches a single resistor) and solder one wire to one end of the resistor(s) and the other wire to the other side.
Example: You measure 11.72 on the 20k (k meaning kilo or 1,000) scale. The closest match is 11.801 which is a #15 "chip." Always remember that resistors have a tolerance of 2%, meaning the resistance value of the "pellet" can be either 2% higher or 2% lower than 11.801 k ohms (11.72 falls in tolerance range.) You will want to aim for 11,801 ohms. So when you go to Radio Shack you want to pick up a 10,000 ohm (10k,) a 1,000 ohm (1k,) and an 800 ohm resistors to wire together in series to achieve the 11.801k ohm value.
Here's an example of how you'd connect the above mentioned resistors in "series"
wire------10k ohm------I------1k ohm------I------800 ohm------wire
6. Measure the resistance across the 2 wires now that the resistors are soldered to them. Be absolutely sure the value matches that of the resistor pellet in the ignition key (within 2% up or down.)
7. Cut a length of heat-shrink tubing to cover up the resistors, allowing a small bit to hang over onto each of the 2 wires. Use a lighter or heat gun to shrink the tubing.
8. On one of the wires, crimp on a male bullet connector, and on the other wire crimp on a female bullet connector.
9. Now what you have should look like this:
Notice in the above "resistor pack" I lucked out and only needed 1 resistor to match the pellet's resistance. You may not be so lucky...
10. Now move to the car. Remove the under-dash kick panel.
11. Look for an orange wire running down the steering column. This wire should have a "rubbery" feel to it, and it is the only orange wire running from the column.
**WARNING** Do not tamper with any of the wires near the column wrapped in yellow harness tape or any yellow wire. These wires are for the airbag. Tampering with any of these wires could result in the airbag discharging.
12. Cut this wire (there are 2 small wires inside) and strip back the insulation on the wires on the opposite side of the steering column.
13. Install a male bullet connector to one of the 2 wires, and a female on the other.
14. Plug in your "resistor pack" that you made by mating the male and female bullet connectors.
15. Attempt to start the car. If your problem was with the VATS reader in the ignition lock cylinder, this will start the car.
If this won't start the car, then the problem is in the VATS module. If the VATS module is bad, remove the resistor pack. Strip the insulation off the other side of the main wire cut (running from the column) and place a male connector on one wire and a female on the other. Plug the 2 halves back together to restore the function of the VATS reader.
What size 22 inch rims fit a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwod?
22 wheels will fit with a low profile tire. no cut and no lift
Where is the fuel filter located on a 1990 Cadillac Fleetwod?
on the frame directly below the rear passenger door. its bolted to the frame.
How can you tell if your Cadillac fleetwood 1993 has an lt1?
The 1993 Fleetwoods did not come with a LT1 engine. The engine is a L05, 350ci with
185 horsepower with throttle body fuel injection.
The LT1 350ci with 260 horsepower was used in the 94, 95, and 96 Fleetwoods.
Where is the stock amplifier located in a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwod?
In the trunk, right hand side behind carpeting. The radio controller is in the dash. The actual tuner and amplifier are in the trunk.
Where is the blower relay located on a 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham?
On a 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the blower relay is typically located in the engine compartment, specifically in the relay center near the battery. It's usually found in a fuse box or relay panel, which may have a cover you need to remove to access the relays. Refer to the vehicle's owner manual for precise location and identification.
Where is the control for the gas gauge on 1994 Fleetwood Brouham?
In the 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the gas gauge control is integrated into the instrument cluster on the dashboard. It displays the fuel level, which is monitored by a sensor in the fuel tank. If you're experiencing issues with the gas gauge, it may be related to the sensor, wiring, or the gauge itself. For adjustments or repairs, consult the vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic.
Where is the fuel filter located on a 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham?
On a 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the fuel filter is typically located along the frame rail on the driver's side, near the rear of the vehicle. It can be accessed by lifting the car or crawling underneath it. Make sure to relieve the fuel system pressure before attempting to replace the filter for safety.
How do you change 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood driver side rear window motor?
To change the driver side rear window motor on a 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood, start by removing the door panel carefully to access the motor. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the screws or bolts securing the motor to the door frame. Replace the old motor with the new one, reattach the electrical connector, and reassemble the door panel. Test the new motor to ensure it operates correctly before finalizing everything.
1989 Cadillac Fleetwod Brougham will not drive over 30 miles a hour?
If your 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham won't drive over 30 miles per hour, it could be due to several issues, such as a malfunctioning transmission, a clogged fuel filter, or problems with the throttle or engine. It’s also possible that there could be issues with the ignition system or a failing sensor. To diagnose the problem accurately, it’s best to have a mechanic perform a thorough inspection and check for any diagnostic trouble codes. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues in the future.
How do you replace a heater core in a 1979 Fleetwood Cadillac?
To replace the heater core in a 1979 Fleetwood Cadillac, start by disconnecting the battery and draining the coolant from the radiator. Remove the dashboard and the center console to access the heater core, then detach the hoses connected to it. Replace the old heater core with the new one, reattach the hoses, and reassemble the dashboard and console. Finally, refill the coolant, reconnect the battery, and check for leaks.
