Need to have a wiring diagram for a 1988 cadillac

You will find wiring diagrams in both Haynes and Chilton books available in auto parts stores and maybe your local library.

We have no factory manuls avail to us here at fixya.

if the car has a power trunk release you can jump the switch using a piece of wire to just about any power source in the car such as a light or even to the batt.

Hi there:
Check this for 1994 Cadillac Eldorado Touring 4.6 liter DOHC V-8 VIN "9"and Eldorado 4.6 liter DOHC V-8 VIN "Y"




Or, check this diagram for 1994 Cadillac Eldorado Touring 5.7 liter V-8 VIN "P"



Hope this helps.

where do you connect the wires on the starter

Excellent tutorial here that helped me when I had a loose steering wheel on my 1988 Deville.

This one is not from an 89 Eldorado, but all GM Tilt/telescoping steering columns from that time are virtually identical:

heres your wiring diagram for your 1989 eldorado, hope this helps, good luck,

1988 Cadillac Eldorado 4.5L TBI 8cyl the Fuel Filter is located under vehicle, driver side, below engine area, rear of wheelwell, mounted in fuel line.

Hope this helped. TY for using Fixya (remember comment and rated this).

check fuse and wiring going thru drivers door for grounded or damaged wires

Easiest way. Go to any auto store, Pep Boys etc, locate the book for the year of your car and write down the wire diagram.
