PAUL T Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 As far as the headlights have you checked to see if the bulbs are good? I would start by checking the owners manual for the fuse locations. Also check to see if there is a common fuse for the things that do not work. You will have to check the radio and see if it is plugged into the original plug or if someone replaced the radio and just spliced some wires to get it to work. Make sure your battery terminals are clean and tight. The car was not a flood car was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that all your problems are from the botched wiring job. I would take out the alarm and resplice the like wires back together and hope you do not cross something. Fuses are probably blown and will continue to blow until this problem is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently discussed corrosion in the relay area, see this thread especially post #18 http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?sho...=15183&st=0 Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
