SOURCE: 88 cadillac deville, ac blower fan wont shut off,

Ralph,
Most common cause of this is the blower fan (proper name for the fan you refer to) continuing to run is a shorted out Electronic Climate Control Module. This solid state device replaces the older style fan speed resistor block (at about 4 times the price) This unit is found on the top of the HVAC box under the hood. (HVAC means heating, ventilation and air conditioning) The HVAC box is found on the passenger side of the firewall. Look behind the A/C's accumulator. It will have an electrical wiring plug on top of it. It will be fastened to the HVAC box with a few 7mm hex head screws. Very easy to change.
FYI, do yourself a favor and replace the blower fan motor at the same time. The Electronic Climate Control Module usually fails because the motor is drawing to many amps of current. This is because it's bushings are worn out or the brushes are worn out.
This is very common on Cadillacs and Buicks.
Charlie
PS Not sure why car won't start. Either you drained the battery or blew a fuse which controls starting the engine. Need more info regarding the "no start" condition.

SOURCE: 95 cadillac eldorado engine stalls rough idle check engine light is on

I have a 95 eldorado that is starting hard and idling rough. Also noticed gas pedal fluctuating. I have been told it is the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Does that sound reasonable?

SOURCE: theft system problem car may

Not sure your anti-theft system has activated. You have the Passlock II system, and jump will not deactivate. Suspect your battery is low or the terminals corroded. Recommend you check the charge on the battery and clean/tighten the terminals. If the battery is low, you may have an alternator issue. Let us know what happens.

The ignition voltage is supplied within the instrument cluster to the indicator bulb. The engine control module (ECM) controls the lamp by grounding the control circuit via an internal solid state device called a driver. (transistor)

What cause dash light to go out while running 1999 cadillac

A best guess with out seeing the car in person, would be a cracked solder joint or a bad ground. This ( IPC) Instrument Panel Cluster has logic circuits and the ability to set codes. One of the first things to do should be to hook up a scan tool and check for stored codes.
Diagnostic System Check - Instrument Cluster
The IPC Diagnostic System Check is an organized approach to identify problems associated with the module. This check must be the starting point for any module complaint, and will direct you to the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint. The module is a very reliable component and is not likely the cause of the malfunction. Most system complaints are linked to faulty wiring and connectors, and occasionally to components. Understanding the computer system and using the tables correctly will reduce diagnostic time and prevent unnecessary parts replacement. This is taken right from Cadillac service information. Does the
Adjust the instrument panel dimmer control. work ?
The IPC illumination varies based on the dimmer control adjustment.

What does the code 1686 mean for a jeep grand cherokee

diesel engine? or gas, and what displacement? 4.0 , 4.7
P1686


did the immo lamp glow.
did you scan the PCM and see if 1685 (wrong key code)
1686, rigth out of fsm

Trouble Code: P1686 4.7L
No SKIM Bus Messages Received
Number of Trips to Set Code: 1
PCM details.
Trouble Code Conditions:
Engine started; and the PCM did not detect any MIC (I/P Cluster) messages over the Data Bus circuit for 20 seconds.
Possible Causes:
  • Data Bus circuit from MIC to the PCM is damaged or it is open
  • Instrument Cluster is damaged or has failed
  • PCM unable to communicate with the Instrument Cluster
  • PCM has failed
this means, the PCM can not talk to the I/P cluster puter.
comm fail.
even wilder guess is PCM talks to KEY via cluster so if cluster dead
so be key.
bad fuses ?

The display screen goes black when driving, sometimes it will start but not stay running

The problem is the cluster screen is defective, remove it and have it repaired, many companies on the Internet do this repair for about $275.00 on average. Just google Cadillac instrument cluster repair.
