- Exterior lighting
I was driving home from work when my 1992 cadillac eldorado headlights went out, barely able to see, then 5 minutes afterwards lights came back on, thinking that I must have a wire loose so I checked the wiring when I got home and found no loose wires anywhere. During the next day I had my 1992…
I was driving home from work when my 1992 cadillac eldorado headlights went out, barely able to see, then 5 minutes afterwards lights came back on, thinking that I must have a wire loose so I checked the wiring when I got home and found no loose wires anywhere. During the next day I had my 1992 cadillac serviced to see if the mechanic could find out why the lights are turning off. Mechanic could not find any problem. So when I decided to go out for dinner my headlights would not come on again. The only light that IS working was the passenger side parking light. This IS very dangerous while driving down country side roads if it was totally dark outside I would have had a bad accident. *Tr

In june of 2003, I purchased a 1992 cadillac eldorado, that was a trade-in at ruddell auto mall, in port angeles, wa. this eldorado was given a service check, but one front seat (drivers side) would not stay locked in the upright position, I asked that it be fixed before I took possession, of it. when I picked it up, the drivers side was working, but the passenger side was not. During the past ten or so months, the drivers side started to recline, and upon trying to raise drivers seat back to a safe upright position, it fails to do so. Now both seats are not working, each having manual recline levers (broken), and six-way electric adjustment that work on both front seats. IS this a common defect, for the '92 eldorado manual recline seats? The dealer costs for total seat replacement, IS too high, dealer cost for each seat-back recline hinge (two in each seat) IS $148.00 +tax and labor. Which IS also too high, for a retired 60 year old, disabled veteran, living on limited income. *Jb
