Top 20 1996 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight - Page 4 Questions & Answers

you might have a short or you missed a wire!

Open the hood find where the light are,there is a black socket going to them turn to the left and pull out,do not touch the new bulb with your fingers or the oil from them will burn the bulb out.

Left of the two headlight buttons for headlights and parking, there is a vertical slider. It's labeled Twilight, meaning twilight sentinel that keeps the headlights on. Move it down and that shortens the on time to about 5 seconds. If you are sittting with the headlights on and want them to go off, push it to the bottom and it turns the lights off immediately. They will turn back on when the car is put into park.

Move the slider to the top and they should stay on for about 5 minutes. BTW if you just leave the headlight switch pushed in (if you're doing it manually) the car turns everything off in about 10 minutes--inside lights, radio, lights, cigarette lighter power (unless you moved the fuse in the underhood fuse block to make them stay on permanently).

You also may not know that if you are driving or sitting and want the headlights off but the parking lights to stay on, push the Parking LIghts button. That turns the headlights off. I didn't find that for a while because our 98 LeSabre didn't have any way to turn off the headlights while cruising through a Christmas display scene in a park where many people turn off the headlights to help the effect of the colored lights.

Check fuses

some cars have a plastic cover over the headlight area, all you do is pull it off. it's velcro. you don't need much room because all you need to do is twist the bulb and pull it out.

If this smoke last for a long time or get worst as this vehicle get warmed up or when vehicle is hot. YOU HAVE A BAD HEAD GASKET TO SAY THE LEAST or may be blown/craked head. Check oil and coolant for mixture with a bad gasket oil and antifreeze should be mixing depending on how long its been since this happen. Check under oil cap for creamish white residue that a sure tell tale sign. Check for fan running constantly or vehicle over heating. Good luck contact if you need more help and thanks for using FIX YA.

I parked the car out behind the wood shed and in 15 to 20 years the car will be a classic.Then I'll give it to one of my grandchildren (if I have any) and let them figure it out.

look under the right side dash for secind fuse box, some flashers located there or right above steering column to the left

If you call the dealer, they will usually give you the code if you give them the VIN number of the car. Some dealers will ask you to bring the car in so they can remove the radio itself to get the serial number off of the radio and cross-reference it with their systems before giving you the code.

Try and tighten the connection. Don’t use adjustable wrenches, use opened end wrenches. The connection nuts are soft and will strip easy. If it tightens and stops leaking great. If not you will have to replace the line. This is more difficult.

where is the Heater Fuse location to a 1998 Oldsmoble Intrigue located?

year, engine, etc....

So the ac is not working. Is the compressor running when you have the control set for ac ?

Cable could get stuck.

You need the sensors of those functions, which you don't have installed. I would go back to the correct part.

try the hazard warning light switch this is the cause of at least 90% of flasher problems i encounter

does what when applying brakes

These other people have no clue ! Battery voltage to the L/H & R/H inside fuse box's come from different sources. The ignition switch - when in the ACC,on an start positions , plus Mega fuses in the under hood fuse box. L/H BEC BATT 1 fuse # 5 40 amp location - under hood fuse box , plus R/H BEC BATT fuse # 2 30 amp fuse -location under-hood fuse box. Which inside fuse box? has two - left and right .

plugs, wires coils, throttle body, MAF , bad timing chain bad ECM. Take it to repair shop.
