1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera seatbelt, key in ignition, lights left on warning alarms and auto locks not working; plus, ABS warning light stays on and dome light is not coming on, is there a central

The details are: While driving my 1995 Cutlass Ciera Oldsmobile a month or so ago, I noticed static on the radio whenever I hit a bump in the road, like a loose connection. Then, driving through a construction area, I hit a hard bump like a pot hole. The ABS warning light immediately came on, and has stayed on along with the following problems: ABS warning light stays on Dome light does not come on when front doors are opened - it does when the back doors open. Key left in ignition warning alarm does not sound. Lights left on warning alarm does not sound. Seatbelt warning alarm does not sound. Auto door locks do not function; the keyless remote does work and the door locks - when manually locked - unlock when the ignition is turned off. Static on radio no longer occurs when a bump is encountered. Our efforts to fix the foregoing include: Took the Dash apart to find the Alarm Module on the passenger side next to the glove box; found a wire that looked burned through from wearing against a piece of metal and repaired it, which did not fix the problem. Replaced the Alarm Module, which did not fix the problem. Checked the fuses in the fuse box and found them all good. Took the automobile to the local GM Dealer who informed me they had no schematics, and, even if they did, it would cost $300 for diagnostics to be run, and they could not guarantee a fix. Bottom line was they considered the vehicle so old that it would cost more to fix than the car is worth - I agree with them in theory but disagree with them in that the automobile only has 129.000 miles on it and it is in excellent condition, the problems described above notwithstanding. My question now is: Given the fuses all check good, do these warning alarm circuits and the ABS warning light all run to a central distribution point before being routed to the alarm module or before being routed to the area of concern for checking before routing to the fuse box? In other words, is there a one point of failure for the ABS warning light plus all of the alarms described above?

SOURCE: 1996 olds acheiva electrical problem

Hi,

Other than the dome light, all of the other electrical you posted operate using the ACC terminal of the IGN switch. The most likely then would be a loose connector either of the wiring harness, relay base or fuse holder fed by the ACC B+. Determining which is a matter of tracing the wiring from the ACC terminal to the fuse box/feeder (in some instances, there would be a relays likewise). From the fuse box/feeder it would go to the different fuses for the radio, defogger, auto door lock. The fuse(s) may be OK but their connectors might be loose and/or the main connector that feeds the fuse box/feeder being the common denominator.

The dome light should work even with no key in IGN swtich turned to ACC. But then again, it is fed from the fuse box/block straight from the battery's + terminal. Which leads back to the connector to the fuse box/block. Your best bet would be to remove/reconnect the different connectors going to and from the said fuse box/block.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: Dome light stays on/passenger lock switch blows fuse when unlocki

Let me guess? You cut the wires. You are supposed to disconnect all of them in the old door and pull them through. Then you remove door. Remove wires from donor door. Install donor door and pull the original UN-CUT wires through and re-connect.

Where is the Panel Wiring Harness, Connector and Relays located on a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera V6

Connector and Relays for the various alarms and instrument panel displays.?????? No relay's .
Not working properly how ? All purpose alarm module ????? No such thing on your vehicle . How did you reset computer ? Disconnecting battery cable ?
Your vehicle has three modules , PCM - engine computer , EBCM - electronic brake control module and the DERM - diagnostic energy reserve module . You could also count the instrument cluster as one too.
Unless you when to GM tech school for these systems your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

My daughters hand me down 1995 olds cutlass ciera has 103,000 miles. It was grandmas and well maintained. It has started shutting off while driving. No rhyme or reason....

One possibly/likely problem is that the ignition circuit is cutting out. I had this same issue on a car (malibu) and found it was an intermittent ignition switch connection. Replacing the ignition switch fixed it for good.
One thing that will really help you is to notice you dash lights when this happens. If the dash lights go out when the car stops, then this is it. If the dash lights (ignition) stay on, then you have another issue.

My 1995 oldmobile cutlass ciera ABS light is on on the dashboard. what does it mean and what needs to be fixed?

I would check the brakes,and rotors,all the way around,then the wheel bearings.If it all checks out good,then it is most likely a wheel sensor for the abs,antilock brakes.

After driving for a short time the anti-lock break light comes on

you should check the ABS system under the hood. It's where the brake fluid reservoir is. make sure you're not losing fluid. and then, check your abs sensors on wheels; they could be going bad.
