How do you replace the rear turn signal bulb located on a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado? |
[Edit] |
Answer
The lamp monitor system on Cadillacs allows the driver to visually check the operation of the exterior lamps without leaving the vehicle. This is accomplished through the use of light conductors (fiber optics). The conductors are used to transfer light from the individual exterior lamp to its respective monitor. The system does not use electrical power in order to operate, nor does it have any moving parts. 1. Check bulb in lamp connected to inoperative monitor. 2. If bulb is burned out, replace bulb. If lamp operates normally, proceed with further checks. 3. Check for proper installation of conductors to sealed beams or lamp housing. 4. Check conductor harness mounting to lamp monitors for proper attachment. 5. Check conductor harness routing for pinched or severely bent condition. 6. If none of the above checks reveals the inoperative condtion, the conductor light fibers have been damaged.
