How do I remove the instrument cluster in a 1988 Olds Toronado?

Remove the body ignition fuse 14. Remove the steering column trim cover. Lower the steering column. Remove the four screws under the upper edge of the instrument cluster trim plate. Pull outward on the upper edge of the trim plate, working around the entire panel. The lower part is held in by trim clips, they can be stubborn. Disconnect all of the switch connectors behind the trim plate and remove it. Remove the screws holding the cluster in place, I believe there are four, maybe six. Pull the cluster forward, disconnect the electrical connectors (there is no speedometer cable) and pull it out.

Gearshift selector problem

The gear selector switch is either out of adjustment or it is bad. Loosen the two bolts holding the gear selector in place and turn it slightly to see if the display stops flashing. You will have to manually shift the transmission lever at the switch into neutral, and then turn the switch until the display says neutral. Tighten the bolts and then check all gears. It's also possible the shift cable could also be out of adjustment. Does the display change if you simply wiggle the gear selector lever?

Where is the power module located at on a 1988

If you are talking about the Central Power Module, it is located under the dash to the left of the steering column. It is a small silver box, mounted vertically with a single black or gray rectangular connector.

" It is on the passenger side right above the floor and below the glove box, the plack piece hiding it has 3 bolts, just remove them and its the silver bov. Also to get the ECM out you need to remove the bracket holdin it in!" I copied this for info of the ecm location. You probably have to remove the glove box to locate the ecm.

Im working on a 1988

trofeo? Or toronado? Have you tested the coil and checked the cap for arcing? You also need to take a good look at the two wires below the plate where the module is attached. many times, one or both break. Do you have 12v at the terminal marked Batt on the cap?? Can't remember which terminals to jump but the plug for diagnostics should be just below the edge of the dash under/ along side the steering column.

How do i replace cam sensor

The cam sensor is located in the timing cover, below the water pump. You may have to remove a few things, like the serpentine belt and the water pump pulley to get at it. Be careful not to break the tab off the electrical connector when removing it. I usually use a thin pocket screwdriver to pry it back just enough to pull the connector off. The sensor is held in place by a bolt and retainer. If the O-ring seal is old, it may take some effort to remove it. Coat the new O-ring with engine oil or dielectric grease to make it easier to insert.

I don't have a keyless remote and the alarm went off until i pull the battery cable

  • If this is a factory alarm then hook up the battery and put the key in the ignition. Not turn the vehicle on. This should disable the alarm if everything is working as it should. If it does not then there is a malfunction somewhere.

Alarm went of when door was open with key and would not start

Then either the key is defective or the sensor inside the ignition lock cylinder is defective or the anti theft module is defective. If the module is ok you can bypass the system with a simple resistor. If you go to this LINK you can read about bypassing the "VATS" security system used in your car.

How to reset factory alarm on a 1988 olds toronado

The system reset itself there is not other reset. If it won't go off then there is a problem with a part in the system and you need the dealer or a GM savvy repair shop to diagnose it.
