#133 of 162 Re: Radio suddenly stopped working in 1993 Fleetwood [ebbers] by 91fleet Feb 23, 2006 (1:41 pm)
Replying to: ebbers (Dec 10, 2005 6:27 pm) I have a 91 Fleetwood and When it was passed on to me originally the radio had been intermittent and worked once. I asked the local caddy dealer to look at it and they said it was dead and cost 400+ to repair (a delco cassette unit). I said no thanks and replaced it with a single disc head unit and soon it began to power in and out. After the radio installer double checked its operation he suggested that the fuse was loose -- and in fact there was an extra wire stuffed into the same slot to pickoff power (I think it was for the cell phone) it looked like an aftermarket install before my time and I pulled it out. When it was stuffed in it widened the slot and so the fuse was not snug --- in fact I don't think the fuse was even seated on my first exam. After that the radio has not been intermittent --- I asked a radio installer to try to snug up the slot - push the contacts back closer together just to get the best contact. I will at some point have the old unit re-tested and maybe re-install it if it in fact works to get back the cassete and a better reading clock unit - move the CD unit somewhere else - and select one unit via a toggle switch --- Check the fuse slot -- are any other items on the radio fuse also buggy.

#138 of 162 Replacement Rims for 1998 Fleetwood? by ecn Apr 10, 2006 (8:14 pm)
I have the Fleetwood Limited Edition, mini-stretch. It has a 6 bolt x 4.75in pattern. Highly unusual. Current rims have been rusting badly and won't hold air in tires. Impossible to find non-chrome replacements. These rims must have been defective as OEM. Does anyone know where I can find aluminum alloy replacement rims?

Replying to: ecn (Apr 10, 2006 8:14 pm) You'd have better lucking asking over in the Deville forum (that's basically what your car is), as they might have some idea.   Those were pretty rare cars, but I think the '99 models, at least, shared the same bolt pattern as a regular Deville. The '98s had the beefier suspension, and I think an extra lug on the wheels, so it might be even harder to find a set of those wheels.   But, like I said, go over to the Deville forum (this one is for the big, RWD Fleetwoods), and see what they say: Cadillac Deville Replies to this message: ecn (Apr 14, 2006 10:29 am)

#141 of 162 1985 FLEETWOOD 4100 ENGINE by johnromano Apr 14, 2006 (10:53 am)
I have this model cadillac and have a problem with pinging & knocking at low RPM's. Above 30 mph it goes away. I tried high test fuel but problem persists. I am open to suggestions on how to go about solving this problem. Replies to this message: cad4pmm (Apr 16, 2006 6:58 pm) cad4pmm (Apr 20, 2006 10:19 pm)
#142 of 162 Tilt steering wheel to start by cad4pmm Apr 16, 2006 (6:37 pm)
Though I have a 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood broghom de elegents, this seems to apply to most with tilt steering wheels, as I've know people with old cadillacs, as well as other makes with tilt steering wheel. A local mechanic told me to tilt the wheel all the way down. It started. I was told it was a short in the wires, but it's not! (After a year doing this short cut) I was able to turn the starter key and it was in the on position but the idiot lights never came on, could not turn the starter key completely to trigger the starter, and could not shift it out of park. After I attempt to repair the steering column I found out it was just the metal rod going from the ignition key to the ignition switch the came off (broke) from the key area. The rod has a develop a bend over the course of tilting the tilt wheel. The car itself has 180,000 miles. But after observing how the Cadillac manufacturer design it, it no wonder they do that. All the mechanic had to do was unbend the rod. I had contacted many Cadillac service dept. who said it was the ignition switch. GM had failed to make this part without a center support to keep this from happening. A tilt steering wheel are always going to be adjusted! Please do something about this or stop making tilt wheels! I feel this is a GM overlooked problem that should be corrected! ARE THE ANY OTHER SECRETS OR HIDDEN UPCOMING PROBLEMS THAT THEY KNOW AND DON'T TELL? Thanks anyway!
