Get a Chilton's book on the car. It will take you thru the whole job, and give you the torque specs for putting it back together. You will need a torque wrench, foot pounds, and a good socket set.

SOURCE: 1995 Cutlass Ciera : Can check list to repairing power windows

the motor window is worn out which is common. You will have to remove all screws on door panel and then pry panel off. You will then have access to the motor. It may have soldered wires on it. Others can pull off, or you can cut wires up stream and twist back together later with new motor

SOURCE: 1992 cutlass ciera ac/heater blower

I can elaborate on this also. I have a 1992 Oldsmobile Ciera with 157k miles.

The blower motor had been losing it's bearings for a while and really lost them about a week ago. I bought a new blower motor; installed it (which can be done by loosening the power steering assembly by removing a couple lower bolts underneath the power steering resevoir. One is a "double hex bolt" which a nut, then 3 ground wires, then another hex head which will remove this bolt.) Also you need to remove a stabilizer bar the is connecting between the p/s pump and the rear cylinder head. Removing these bolts should allow the power steering assembly to be moved toward the front of the car, giving enough clearance to remove the blower motor.

We installed the new blower motor, tested it, it worked, but the relay started clicking like crazy. It was the second relay from the left on my car; you can tell which one is for the blower motor by lookign at the color of the wire going into the blower motor and looking beneath the relay panel for the same colored wire (on my car it was purple).

We put it all back together, went to test it again and it wasnt working. We then went and bought a new relay, which restored the blower to working condition. 2 minutes after we left again, it blew the relay. We then exchanged the obviously faulty blower motor, and purchased a new relay, and the car was restored to 100% functional.


In this person's case, it sounds like they just need a relay, but I just wanted to elaborate to help get this information more readily available. I feel like it would have helped me if I had it before I tried this repair. (which we got down to about a 15 minute job after the 3 times we had to do it)

New compresser just stopped working was very cold ran it all day and now the compressor is not kicking in and out how can you tell if it is a relay or loss of carge

FIrst, with any electrical problem, always check the fuses first. The only way to correctly check the charge of the AC system is with a set of guages. You can assume the charge is good and procede with the electrical diagnosis, but it may all be a waste of time if the system has lost the charge. With the AC on, if there is a proper charge in the system, there should be 12v at the compressor clutch connector. This will be a 2 wire connector just behind the AC pulley. You will need a 12v test light, meter, or some way to check for voltage. If there is 12v and the compressor is not engaged, then the clutch coil has gone bad. If there is not 12v then you will need to check the relay for voltage. Sometimes you can swap relays with another that has the same part number. If the original relay is bad then the compressor will start working after the swap. Check all the fuses, under the hood and under the dash. Sometimes a fuse will control more than one circuit.

1994 old cutlass ciera, 3.1 v-6, no power at fuel pump harness connector. Fuses are good and fuel pump relay is replaced.

Hi, if you have a voltmeter or 12 volt test light, I recommend you interrogate the fuel pump relay socket. Pull the relay out and connect one probe to ground. Probe the socket terminals with the other test lead. With the key off, there should be 1 hot terminal. With the key on, there should be 2 hot terminals. Move the first probe to battery positive and probe again. There should be one ground that shows 12 volts and one load terminal that shows lower voltage--like maybe 2 or 3 volts. There results will tell you what is not getting to the relay. If you can tell me the results, I will provide next steps.

1994 oldsmobile died while idling at traffic light. No power from battery to restart. Pushed car off road and got a jump. Car started and idled but died as soon as I put it into drive. Car had no power...

Take a battery that has a good charge on it or 12 volts put it in and start it then take a multimeter and put the red lead on to the power lead on the back of the alternator and ground the black lead.It should read between 13-14.5 volts anything more or less replace alternator.If alternator checks out ok check battery voltage after charging it.Must have at least 12-12.6 volts anything less replace battery.

We are replacing the starter solenoid on our 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciara. When putting the new one on the car acts like it wants to start. What do we do?

Hello! Check your wiring...If +12 volts is connected to the "S" lead the starter motor will run...Lets check the wiring...
The "M" lead connects the solenoid to the motor...The "B" lead is the main +12 volts from the battery (Black Cable)...And the "S" lead is the smaller gauge Purple wire which is controlled by the ignition switch...If the Purple wire is making contact with the Black Cable the starter will run...

Master window switch

Have you checked the switch to see if 12 volts is coming out of the switch, hold it in the up or down position and test the pins, 2 will light, the 12 volts to the switch and the one out to the motor, if the out to motor is ok then either the new motor is no good or you have a bad door ground.
