How do you replace a fuel pump on a 1961 Cadillac fleetwood?

You order a replacement pump. I got mine at Rockauto.com then you unbolt the unit remove the in and out fuel lines and pull your old one off. Reverse for installation.

How do you remove the dash board on a 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood?

How to remove dashYou lucked out I just removed my 1985 fleetwood brougham dash pad.There are screws on both side by the doors,both of the defrost vents have 2 screws, then the 2 hidden screws are 1 at the top of the instrument cluster,and 1 in the glove box in a hole.The one in the glove is the hardest to find they have a cut out towards the front of the box and a little to the left.Once you have all the screws out you pull towards you to get the clips out.You can email me if you have any ? @ addingtonelectric@sbcglobal.net P.S. This is just to remove the top cap for changing the speakers.

How do you bypass the pass-key module on a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwod?

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. Alright, let's begin the madness: 1. Take your DMM, set it to measure Ohms (use the 20k setting.)

What is the length of a 1963 Cadillac?

Check out this web site. It contains information beyond your wildest dreams about the 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood. You did not specify whether this was a Series Seventy Five or the Sedan. It makes a difference. (I have a 1968 Fleetwood Series 75.) http://100megsfree4.com/cadillac/cad1960/cad63f.htm Good Luck

Why will the power windows not work on a 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood?

The Fleetwood of this vintage has a circuit breaker on the fuse panel. It is a cylindrical device that snaps in like a fuse and on the bottom of the fuse panel. Check your manual for the exact location. That may --not-- be the problem, it could be a fuseable link between there and the starter, where the power divides coming from the battery. There is a possiblity of a problem with the ignition switch causing the problem as well. Also, this divine classic has the "Emergency" switch and bypass switch, which could be root of the problem. The best thing is to become friends with your DC voltmeter and trace out the circuit. A Cadillac shop manual is your best friend for doing this. I have one for my 1968 Fleetwood Limo and have spent many "quality" hours with this good book.

How to reset 1993 Fleetwood brougham oil change light What if the Change Oil light remain on illuminated although the reset procedure is followed3 times fully push and release in 5 sec?

1993-1996 Fleetwood
1. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
2. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds.
3. The CHANGE OIL light should flash two times and then go out.
4. Turn the ignition OFF.
If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on for 5 seconds, it did not reset. You'll need to reset the system again. 1991-1993 Deville, & FWD Fleetwood
When "CHANGE OIL SOON" light is illuminated
Press and hold the "RESET" and "RANGE" buttons on the Fuel Data Center for 5 to 60 seconds. When the buttons are released, the light will flash four times if it has been reset. If the light comes back on for more than 5 seconds, repeat the procedure. [http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/cadireset.html Available At] Good Luck and Remember.

What is the ICC switch for on a 2008 fleetwood bounder?

It is used to flash running lights after a pass is made on the freeway. Like the truckers do after they pass a truck.

What is Computer Command Ride?

You probably mean "Command Line."

The command line is a way of interacting with the computer by typing text based commands, rather than using a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Instead of using a mouse to double click the icon of a program, someone using the command line might simply enter the name of the program, and have it run.

the 4.0l s.o.h.c. enging has a timing chain tensioner kit. wich is suposed to fix the slight ping on start up. check with your locad dealer with your VIN # and have them check to see if you have any RECALLS on that issue.. ie only fix if the prob is thier..

How do you use a Slim Jim to open the door of your 1995 Cadillac Sedan Deville?

I don't think a "slim jim" works. Pry open the top of the door (a tapered piece of wood or plastic, keep it ajar with a plastic or wooden wedge. Then use a piece of very stiff wire (a straightened-out thick coat hanger for example) then push on the power lock switch to unlock door. Using a "slim jim" will just bust off clips inside the door.
