kcd1184 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 My antenna was stuck halfway up for quite a while. All you can get for replacement is a generic one.I had been checking the salvage yards for a while and finally one guy said yea I have one. Went and picked it up and proceeded to remove old one. Like a fool, Iwas going by his claim that it was original and out of a 94Eldo. Well it was not the same and now I have a piece of black tape over the antenna hole to keep water out. I,m not going to put the bad one back, the bezel( rubber) is ripped now anyhow. I know they are hard to find , but if there is someone out there that knows where a working factory antenna is for a 94 Eldorado, please Email or message me. I hope it is OK to ask that on this site. I did get my money back for the wrong antenna. Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 These folks are mainly in the south and the location closest to you is Indianapolis. But I don't know if they will pull a part and ship it. Take a look: http://www.pullapart.com/Inventory/Main.aspx Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

Cadillac Jim Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 The antenna from any Eldorado from 1992 on should work, because they never changed the body panels. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

kcd1184 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 The antenna from any Eldorado from 1992 on should work, because they never changed the body panels.I have tried to pin this down and from my research, 92-95 antennas were the same but are discontinued, hense once the supply was gone, that is it. Enter the generic model. Even GMPartsDirect lists different antenna #'s for 92-95(generic) and then 96 up.(I don't know if these are still oem or not) Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenD Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 take a look at some higher end buicks and pontiacs in the same years (92/ 97) as they use the same antennas. I picked mine out of a buick Park Avenue and it fit perfect. 1994 STS Pearl White 260,000 KM (163,000 miles) <img src="http://img45.photobucket.com/albums/v137/caesar/caddycaesar.jpg" border="0" class="linked-sig-image" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lothos Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 The local junk yard here has antennas for 35 bucks if you pull it yourself. They don't have any 90's Cadillacs at the moment though. WARNING: I'm a total car newbie, don't be surprised if I ask a stupid question! Just trying to learn.
