Cadillac: Ignition wiring, cadillac eldorado, fuel pump relay

Question
QUESTION: I have a 1990 cadillac Eldorado and when I try to start my car the information center says that my ignition has been disabled due to my anti theft system. I later found out that it has something to do with the wires in the steering column that have bent and broken over time and need to be replaced along with and ignition resistor. I was just wondering if you could tell me what size resistor and how to go about fixing the problem.

ANSWER: How did they determine that the wires in the cylinder lock are defective ?.

Possibilities that need to be verified by testing:

1. Ignition lock wires.

2. Dirty or damaged ignition key.

3. faulty PASS-KEY module.

4. Faulty starter relay.


The size resistor is determined by the ignition keys resistance.

QUESTION: Also I was wondering if you possibly had a schematic of the wiring and such for the ignition so that my mechanic can see. He is an out of his garage mechanic down the street and he will be doing all the work.

Answer
Pictures are not allowed on this person's website. I can provide the full schematics for the system so that he can jumper the starter relay and jumper the fuel pump relay and start the engine and to help him diagnose and fix your problem. E-mail me at: onlineautohelp@msn.com
