Left side lights

105

Asked by GasserMike Mar 26, 2011 at 11:27 PM about the 1998 Cadillac DeVille d'Elegance Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My left side front park lights and tail lights will not work. All the bulbs are good, just no power going to sockets. The turn signals and brake lights on left side do work. I have checked all fuses and they are good. Any suggestions what the problem could be?   Thanks in advance

I have not found the problem yet. I have traced wires all over the car and can not find a problem.

10-4, I am in the proccess of doing that also. So far, i'm being told to start with the sockets. i will keep you posted as to what i find. also, this seems to be a major problem only on the drivers side, from the reasearch ive been doing.

I checked the sockets but still possible I missed something. On mine the front park lights and tail lights are not working. But turn signals work,Also the left headlight is dim compared to right side, Sounds like a ground problem but I can't find it.

Could it possibly be that is just moisture inside the circus and it just shorting out all power because my lights on my driver side had no power and I checked the bulb in the in the front side marker light and I found white creamy substance on the back of the bug and that could be the problem it's probably just an electrical problem

I'm having the same problem on my 96 Cadillac but it is the right side giving me trouble did anyone come up with a fix for the problem.

For the moment I do not have an answer, I will have one very soon. Of course, someone could beat me to it. Either way, so long as there is an answer, right? I own a near pristine ’96 De Ville with about 87x miles. Just a few sort days back, I noticed my front, left marker no longer working. I am in the process of replacing all the interior / exterior (excluding dash/IP, etc.) incandescent lamps with LED’s. In my task, I create phases, particularly as they relate to lamps that have polarity. I want to make sure I have NO problems with voltage stability what can cause hyper-flashing – bad signals, etc. to the computer. I give each phase a few days of driving before I move on to the next. Coincidence or not, I noticed the marker out when I was testing the under-hood lamp female connector to the light assembly as I could not get a bulb to light. I noticed a spark of sorts from my text light. I noticed when I began to test the fuses the test light bulb was not lighting. Taking a closer to the test light, the ground wire was damaged. I replaced the wire to the tester….. Again, coincidence or not… did this spark have anything to do with the side marker outage? Is the outage more an indicator of something more important or a greater message being told? Years back one of my Cadillac’s as having problems with, I want to recall, problems with my Power seat. I found out the wiring was part of the radio system in soime way. Another curiosity was on an Eldo once owned. To program the remote fob, you had to open and close the door in a sequential order…. Tomorrow I will get back into the garage for further testing before I am comfortable enough to more into the next phase. More to this post soon. Oh, by the way my ’96 is without fog lamps.
