I have a 1998 Cateria that I am having an electrical problem with. I have no power to anything on the car. I have checked all of the fuses and they are all alright. I have traced the current from the battery to the inside fuse box on the car. (I also checked all the fuses under the hood). I get no current to the switch, head lights, interior lights or anything. As far as the anything operating on the car that is electricial, it is dead. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I should check and a method to check what ever is suggested? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

| I really don't think the sensor is a problem. As I said, there is no power at all. None to the emergency flashers, headlight, starter, gages, door lights, or anything. I have checked the ground and all of the fuses. I can follow the current from the battery to the interior fuse box. I have not attempted to go from the fuse box since I don't know what could have the effect of completely shutting off all power. Any suggestions are welcome and thank you for yours. | |

Replying to: thomas22 (Sep 12, 2006 7:55 am) Also have a valve cover leak. You can smell the oil through the air & heat vents. We have to turn the blower off when we come to a stop or the smell of the oil overtakes you. We are upside down in the car about 5000.00 so we are stuck in it. I hate this car and will never buy another Cadillac as long as I live.

| I have a 1999 Catera which has been ok for the first 2 years but now.......... Fuel pump went which was a tow and $1,200, but now i have the REAL problem terrible oil leak from the top back of the engine. I have been told that the only way to fix is to replace 2 gaskets at about $ 450 each and that the entire job would be about $ 3,900. i'm from Canada so these figures might be higher than in the US. Going through a quiart of oil every 3 days, driveway is a mess. For anyone who knows are there any options here. Would appreciate the help. | |

I've had a 1997 Cat for 3 or 4 years now and thought we've replaced everything possible. Now the thing just turns over and doesn't start. My husband is determined it's the fuel pump --I'm not convinced. We can't find the fuel pump relay because our owner's manual tells us it is in position #20, but there's no #20 spot. We really wanted to fix this without taking it to the dealer again it's usually $1,400 every time we take it and past experience is that we take it in for one thing and they determine even more is wrong with it. I just want to know where the fuel pump relay is...
