1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera - Page 9 Questions & Answers
My car just clicks when i try to start it, what could be wrong?
You probably have a battery drain from a defect. circuit. Just put a
test light between the ground of the battery and the ground cable. If
you have a drain problem, the light will go on. Then you remove the
fuses one by one until the light goes out to isolate the circuit. A
electrical wiring diagram will be appreciated.
I would say it is the installers fault and that the alternator is
probably working fine, but the alternator is either hooked up wrong or
has a broke wiring harness or the belt is under driven or this is the
wrong alternator for your vehicle. or the best answer is you have a
short somewhere causing the charge from the alternator to not reach the
battery. In other words the pathway is broken. There can only be a few
answers to this question. Something is broken/loose(wiring) /installed
wrong/or the wrong part. Try the z net from autozone. It will give step
by step instructions. You need to include further information of the
vehicle(year/make/model/size engine/ if you want specific informationPull the pos strap off of the battery when the car is running, if it
dies and you know that the alternator is good you could have a short.
That could be what is killing your batteries.
Is your car
killing batteries overnight? Could have a short somewhere else and that
short just put more strain on your alternator.one way to see is to start car with nothing on in the car
an remove hot lead from battery car should stay running if it do turn
head lights on car should die Resistance in the wiring due to corrosion or poor ground. Sometimes
theres a regulator that controls the voltage and amps within the
alternator that is defective
Dies after you drive it
I would change the oxygen sensor only if the oxygen sensor code comes up showing that the o2 sensor is is not cycling.
Have the car scanned in order to determine what may be causing the stall condition.
How to change headlight assembly
You can't get at them from the engine bay. You've got to remove the
plastic grill on the front of the car, to get at other screws, and take a
few screws out that hold the entire headlight assembly in. Do not
unscrew any of the screws above or below the lights. These are for
adjusting the angle of the headlights. You'll have to readjust them if
you do. Not a big deal, just unnecessary if you don't touch them.
There should be 2 screws on either side of the headlight assembly.
Spray some penetrating fluid on them. I broke one with very little
pressure because I didn't. Sheared the head right off the shaft.
Once you get the headlight assembly out the bulbs come out with a
quarter turn of the socket. Remember not to touch the new bulb with
your fingers. Oil will create hot spots and it could crack the bulb.
If you do then clean it with a high percentage alcohol before putting it
in.
Where is egr valve
Without engine sizes, just could tell you that the EGR valve is a mounted on the intake manifold and has an opening
into the exhaust manifold. On some vehicles, the EGR valve is opened by
manifold vacuum to permit exhaust gas to flow into the intake manifold.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback
is important and
I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some
testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
Where on the engine block does the oxygen sensor
Have no photo, but if you look on Web for the part; some sites will show the photo. Each O2 sensor will be on an exhaust extension pipe or often before and after the catalytic converters. They are not on the block.Usually if they are bad, you get a "check light" and you can get free tests at Autozone, Orely, and Advance autoparts.

Horn doesn't work
it could be a fuse but most likely its the horn itself were the diaphram has dried out and not vibrating.with someone pushing on the horn button you can tap on the horn to see if it might make a noise.if it does then it needs to be replaced.you can also check for power to the horn with a test light and if it lights up when someone pushes on the button.if it does and the horns not working then again the horn needs replacing.there is a horn relay in the system but it rarely goes bad as well as the horn button rarely goes bad.
