I have always had a place in my heart for the Olds Cutlass. I own a '90 Olds Cutlass Calais--WITH the fuse box COVER. I went out to the car and removed the cover and have it next to me so that I can type the EXACT fuse order as they appear on the inside cover.There are 2 col. When I've finished the l/h side, I'll make a line to indicate the start of the r/h side. I will also put the Circuit on the left & fuse on the right. If you are ready, HERE WE GO:

is your car a 79 or an 85?if it's a 79 you probably need to repace the dimmer switch on the floor,may be the same for a 85.
SOURCE: 1991 olds cutlass calais - will not start - no
THEY HAVE THREE BIG PROBLEMS ,,,,FIRST THE CRANK SESNOR GOES BAD ,, THIS SENSOR REPLACES THE " PICK UP " IN OLDER VEHICLES... IF SENSOR BAD THEN NO PULSE TO THE COIL PACKS...IE NO SPARK...NEXT BIG PROBLEM IS THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE.... AND LAST BIG PROBLEM IS THE " CHIP " ON THE KEY... LOOKING AT YOUR IGNITION KEY YOU SHOULD SEE A LITTLE BLACK CHIP WITH A SILVER CONTACT IN THE MIDDLE.. THIS IS YOU SECURITY DEVICE....THE CONTACT WEARS OUT INSIDE OF LOCK TUMBLER ASSY. CAUSING IT NOT TO READ THE KEY AND COMPUTER THINKS SOMEOME IS TRYING TO STEEL THE CAR SO IT DISABLES THE ECM ....MAIN COMPUTER...... CAUSING A NO START CONDITION LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP MORE
SOURCE: 89 olds cutlass ciera bogging down when accelerating.
my 89 cutlass did the same thing....She would bog down ( when the service engine light came on)....Light would go off and she would run fine...Shop replaced fuel fiter and KNOCK SENSOR, runs great now, the service engine light stays off too. Ran a can of MG injector cleaner thru too.
