What is the meaning of your trouble shooting codes for a 1992 olds toronado trofeo?
The trouble shooting codes are for people and dealerships who have a service manual for the car. Based on the code the service manual tells you what the problem is associated with and steps to diagnose and find exactly what the problem is.
The wiring is all messed up. Other than headlight flap malfunctions, the electronic dashboard in the toronados are the #1 thing owners of them have had to deal with. Its about a 700 fix. And not too many people know how to do it without costing you way more money
Answer
Check all the data lines, the test connection near the parking brake (it's a small plastic cover with a metal connector that continues the data circuit), the 7 volt power supply above the gas pedal is a possible culprit, the BCM (body control module) and any part in between that involves the data line with includes the climate control, chime control module etc. The data circuit is a redundant circuit and in general it has to be shorted to ground or both sides open for it to have that type of effect on the cluster. In most cases it's the cluster itself unfortunately. The way it was designed, the parts that are surface soldered just lift off and you have problems from vibration and weather changes that cause this.
If you leave the country and no one is driving the car does it need to be insured?
Yes, depending on the following factors; The value of the automobile; lost to theft, vandalism, or fire. The fact that insurance is a criminal enterprise in itself, where in, if you allow your insurance to lapse or cancel it you will face significantly higher prices when you again insure an automobile; They treat you like a first time driver in most cases.
No, the car isn't worth enough to worry about the loss. Your going out of the country for one or more years; therefore, the cost of increased prices to insure the vehicle on your return is more than off-set by not insuring it while your gone. Check on this important factor before reaching a conclusion.
Caution: Any insurance company will tell you that the vehicle must be insured as long as you own it, running or not, and there is the following to consider:You are always responsible for a vehicle you own. Millions of vehicles are running around that are registed in the names of people who no longer know where the vehicle is or who owns it. You can find them on eBay all the time; Things like, no title but comes with a bill of sale. If the bill of sale is from an original registered owner, then, that will usually work to obtain a new title in the purchasers name. If not, the last registered owner is the legal owner of the automobile, halftrack, airplane, helicopter, zepplin, moped, ect., and, as such, they incure a certain amount of liability for the machines actions. How much? I have no idea, but I have used this on several occassions to convince a previously registered owner, who had sold the car and forgotten about it, to send me a bill of sale so I could re-register the vehicle, become the legal owner, and re-sell said vehicle. In one particular case, some years ago, I finally resorted to telling the suspicious legal owner that the car could roll down a hill and maybe crash into the police station? Accidents can happen you know...well, I guess it worked, I finaly got a bill of sale for that vehicle.

How do you replace a 1985 Olds Toronado heater core?
After much worry about my own blown and leaking heater core (85 Toronado) I at first by passed it, but with winter coming I HAD to fix it, but was unable to get anyone to do the job; and pulling out the entire dashboard and dropping the steering colume for a $20.00 heater core seemed to me to much....so here it is, first I do not consider myself a HACKER when working on cars and did make a very exceptical repiar by carfuly cutting a hole in the fire wall and pulling it out, you will be surprised how easy it is to cut this hole with a small chisel or screwdriver and a hammer CUT LIKE BUTTER!. I marked out an area around the heater hose's about 10"X10" inches and just (tapped on the chisel) all the way around. this worked better than I expected, so I pulled out old and in with the new, I was even able to put the peace of firewall back in place with some bondo and flat black spray paint the completed job hardly left a scare! saved me a ton of work. PS I drove the car another year before the motor died at almost 300000 miles, best car I ever had.....hope this helps....Todd
