The main power fuse on a 1985 Buick Electra is likely located in the engine compartment fuse box. The fuse box is typically located near the battery and can be found by following the positive battery cable.
If you are having trouble locating the fuse box, consult your vehicle's owner manual for specific location and a diagram of the fuse box layout.
The main power fuse, also known as the "battery fuse" or "fusible link," is responsible for protecting the electrical system from damage caused by a power surge or short circuit. The fuse is usually a large, cylindrical fuse that is located in the main power distribution circuit. It will be the largest fuse in the box
Once you've located the main power fuse, you will need to remove it to check its condition. If the fuse is blown, you will need to replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating. It is recommended that you use only fuses that are specifically designed for your vehicle, and that you consult your owner's manual or a professional mechanic for the correct amperage rating.
It's important to note that working on electrical systems can be dangerous if you don't have the proper knowledge, so if you're unsure about how to proceed, it's best to consult a professional mechanic.

Where is the MAP /BARO sensor located on a 1985 Buick Electra ?

MAP sensors weren't used as much in 1985 as on later engines and many simply used an air metering unit.

I suggest you check the parts catalogue for your model to ensure it actually uses a MAP before you begin searching for it.

Need to replace the fuse for the turn signals, where would I find them?

1989 Buick Park Avenue ? Didn't have ParK Ave. that year . Buick Park Avenue
It became an Electra trim level in 1978 and its own model starting in 1991 after the Electra was discontinued. Two generations of the Park Avenue were manufactured in the United States until 2005, while in 2007 the nameplate was revived on a large Buick sedan built by Shanghai GM for the Chinese market based on the Holden Caprice from the WM/WN range. The nameplate is derived from the affluent

Have a 1990 buick electra....the 20 amp fuse which controls the air conditioning & heat area keeps blowing immediately once replaced. Any ideas?

Sounds like the coil on the a/c compressor is no good, to test it you need to unplug the compressor and check it again, if it doesn't blow the fuse then it's the coil, if it does blow the fuse then it's the fan blower. Hope this helps
