Old style with mechanical points-file your points with an ignition file. ( Unless it has aftermarket electronic ignition- then you need to just check for spark at one of the plug wires.) If you are still old style-also check for spark.
If the engine was running good before, you probably lost spark (ignition) or fuel.
Does the engine crank when key is turned to start? If yes, you just lost spark or gas. If no, then your start circuit has a problem. You may need the starter motor tested.

Did you check the starter relay and make sure that all the connections to the starter are correct?

When you say no power at fuse panel, do you mean entire panel?
As far as no turn over, have you checked for neutral safety switch problem?

SOURCE: 1970 olds cutlass turn signals not working

Most likely it is the signal cam in the column. I had one in a 1970 Torino about 35 years ago do the same thing. The contacts just get old and wear out. The hazard flashers work through a separate circuit. Also I will check to see if the turn signals have a separate flasher relay from the hazard flasher. Look under your steering column and see if it has one or maybe two round stainless steel relays. Post back.

92 olds cutlass ceira 3.8lt 6cly will not turn over

If you turn the key and get nothing, the first thing to check is the battery. Then the cables from the battery to the starter. Then the ignition switch, then the starter.

Ignition switch won't shut off on my 92 olds cutlass

Your 1992 Cutlass was the last model year not to require the drivers side air bag...You can access the ignition switch (needs replaced) by removing the steering wheel...you will need a puller to do this...as this is more than you want to do...many local locksmith shops offer this service...much less costly than a dealership...plenty of parts for your pristine Olds Cutlass are available...:) Hope this helps...

I don't know how you will do it but the procedure is to insert the key and turn the ignition to the on position and then the lock cylinder will pull straight out. Since you don't have a key you may have to force it with a big screwdriver turning the cylinder.

I have a 95 cutlass and sometimes it don't start. I turn the ignition and the lights etc come on but that's it. I don't even get any "click" from the starter likes its trying to start. What I have noticed...

I had the same problem with my 1995 Cutlass Supreme. Finally it would not start at all and I noticed the security light on the dash would not go off after I turned the key. It wound up being the ignition switch. I replaced it and no problems. The only trouble is that your old ignition keys do not work with the new switch.

94 Old Cutlass Ciero 3.1 engine starts and dies won't stay running

Replace the oil pressure switch next to the oil filter. When you turn on the ignition the fuel pump runs to prime the system then turns off. Then the oil pressure switch runs the fuel pump to keep the engine running. To test, connect the fuel pump test wire(located at the left front wheel well) to the battery. This will bypass the pressure switch and the engine should run.
