Answer
Cadillac does NOT incorporate a reset switch on their fuel systems.

You either have:

1. A damaged fuel pump.

2. A damaged fuel line.

3. Damaged fuel electrical wires.

4. damaged fuel pump relay.

Try this test.


1. Remove the gas cap.

2. Listen at the gas cap opening.

3. Have a helper turn the ignition switch to the ON position whereas all the dash lights illuminate, But do NOT have them try and START the engine.

4. As soon as your helper turns the ignition switch to the ON position, You should hear a buzzing noise at the fuel cap opening for only 2 seconds and then it will stop buzzing.
