Our 96 eldorado used to do the same thing. After trying everything and several mechanics, we decided to take it to a cadillac dealer. They said it was the battery that was not generating enough power to operate some switch. Changed the battery - voila - no more problem! Hope this helps you.

SOURCE: 84 Eldorado squeaks when driving and stops when i press thebrakes

its time for new brakes..read your owners manual...brakes will tell you they need replacing with squeeks or chirps and these go away when you press the pedal.

96 cadillac eldorado etc battery not staying charged when the car is started the battery goes up to 14 when driving and press brake voltage drops 11-12(car may even die) and to 13+ if u give it gas

Does the vehicle start after sitting over night or do you need to jump start it . Is the charge light on ( batt. symbol ) at any time ? Serpentine belt good , tensioner good ? Battery cable connections good an tight and no corrosion ? Battery also good ? That is normal for battery voltage to jump up to 14 volts after starting , alternator is replenishing the battery after starting ,that draws down the battery . Going down to 11 or 12 volts when stopping and almost stalling isn't a charging system problem . You have a idle problem , IAC - idle air control valve or dirty air passage , a vacuum leak . Giving it gas and it going up to 13+ the alternator is working . Your best bet take it to a qualified repair shop and have it check .

1996 cadillac el dorado parking break wont release when put in drive

Usually means the vac motor is faulty, or you have lost vac to the motor. When you shift out of park, vac pulls the release for the parking brake.

Parking break wont release when put in drive

The brake release is vacuum operated. Check to see if a hose broke or maybe just fell off.

Why wam is my car starting sometimes and runs great .. but when i pull the emergency brake release it shuts off

I'm assuming there is a sensor attached to the emergency brake pedal. Try driving the car with those sensor wires shorted together.

Can I reprogram my keyless remote from my 1995 eldorado to my 1996 cadillac eldorado

AS programs can be altered I would have it checked out at a dealer service centre as they will need the keys and the vehicle to see if it can be done
