FLASHING DASH LIGHTS 96 ELDORADO - 1996 Cadillac Eldorado

Do you have power in and out of the dash light dimmer switch ?

Under the carpet, near the gas pedal, there is a ground wire screwed in, and that connection is going to be corroded. Clean up the connection and be sure it is tight. I just went through this with my 97 Seville. Fixed every electrical problem I was having with lights flashing, gauges going crazy, etc...

You are only looking at the alternator NOT the power steering.

i had the same problem on my 96 etc,there is a ground wire behind the drivers side kick panel that was broke ,i fixed it and have not had any more trouble.

check to see if the catalytic convertor is red hot after driving it,it could be plugged,it may also be a sticky thermostat,

If it is a digital dash you need to replace the central control module located above the gas pedal. If it is not check in the glove box for the fuse panel caddys are known for hiding the fuse boxes in there.

i think it off and wamer on a/c pannel

. Seems like the system is not being diarmed. If it wont disarm with remote or by the door klock key, try this. Don't use the power door lock button to lock the car. Lock it MANUALLY till its repaired

start with a fuse, then go on to a turn signal relay. turn the level left or right on the steering column with the inginition switch on, if the light in the dash lights up but won't flash, it is the turn signal relay.

On the 96, so far I've found two locations for fuse boxes. The first is on the drivers side in the engine compartment behind the air filter housing. there is a plastic shield.

The other place is a PITA to get to. Get into the truck and remove the cloth lining from the back of the seats. It's on the passengers side. To remove this cloth, there are four or five bolts on the underneight side of the trunk deck (get in the trunk, look up).

I think there is one more place inside, but I can't find it. It might be under the dash or in one of the kick panels. Still looking for it. Crazy ole GM.
