ELDORADO BLINKER/UNDERDASH WIRING DIAGRAM
 

I got some side maker arrows for the mirrors for my ETC but i dont want to have to have to run the cables ALL THE WAY to the blinkers in front of the car, I want to splice them into the cables underneath the dash instead of trying to run wires through firewalls and making my work harder. Can anyone tell me where I can find the cables for the blinkers underneath the dash so I can connect the markers ? Thanks

The wiring going to the front and rear signals exits the steering column at a multiwire connector. With a test light you can probe each wire till the test light flashes. Then you can either scotch-lock the added lamp wiring to these wires or cut and splice.

yeah its what i was thinking to, i just wanted to see if anyone knew the wirecodes instead of me testing every wire, thanks tho im going to do that anyways now

Just remember that the front and rears are seperate curcuits. If you back probe wires with turn signal on, you will get 2 wires flashing the test light. To determine if you are probing front or rear, shut the turn signal off and push the brake pedal, if the test light glows steady, you are probing the rear turns/brake lights. Also, I am sure you probly already know , don't probe any air bag wiring, which is usually a bright yellow connector, or you might damage airbag module , or accidently inflate airbag.

I'm not going to do it with a test light, I'll probably use my multimeter, put the black to ground and test with the positive. Now that you mention it I gotta lay low when I probe them because of the air bag.

Thanks a lot, that's one of the best websites, has service data for any cars up from 1954.

Reverse Lamps Do Not Work 2000 Eldorado ESC NO Bose/ No Onstar
 

I installed an aftermarket head set with a backup camera and maybe ( not too likely) screwed up the car's computer in some manner. I tried to reset the computer by removing, for several minutes, the negative lead from the battery. This had no effect in supplying voltage to the reverse lamps.

Prior to my installing the new headset, I had no problem. I only found that the reverse lamps were not operating when I tried getting the Rear-view Camera that came with the head-set to display an image. In troubleshooting that issue I found that no voltage was getting to the reverse Lamps; hence, no Reverse voltage or trigger was getting to the camera.

I jumped from the PARK/REV 10A fuse in the engine compartment to the reverse lamps and found that the lamps came on. The fuse is good. The MAXI Fuse (or whatever it is called on the Relay center underneath the engine compartment fuse panel) is good. I searched all over for a BACK-UP (REVERSE) RELAY and found nothing.

I continue to try and troubleshoot the issue but I am at a loss as to where to go from here, My question is several-fold

1. Can the computer be responsible for the Neutral Safety Back-up switch to go bad?
1a. It seem everything I read suggests that switch is is at fault; but. it was working fine before I tried the Headset install
1b. I would not think so but thought that I would ask!
1c. If is is bad how can I tell?
2. When I place the transmission shifter into the reverse position, where can I easily check (enroute) 12 vDC going to to the reverse lamps
2a. Whether or not the shifter is placed in the Reverse Position. both sides of the PARK/REV Fuse measures 12 vDC so is there a place wherw 12 vDC is available only when the shifter is in the Reverse position?
3. Is there a Reverse relay somewhere in the back-up lamp wiring diagram that could be the cause of the issue? All I see is a "BATT1" MAXI Fuse (underneath the access to the engine compartment's fuse panel). It has something to do with the reverse lamps or the reverse relay if there is such a thing!
3a. By the way .... I can't seem to find a decent online wiring diagram so if one is available please send me a link.
4. Generally ... what is the most likely cause of no voltage getting to the reverse lamps? If I am barking up the wrong tree in my approach to troubleshooting pleas feel free to say so!

Solved
 

Fuse in the trunk's fuse block Ign 0 Body was blown not only preventing the Reverse lamps from illuminating but also took out the Instrument Cluster, the Power Windows and the Climate Control functions. Put in a new 10 amp fuse and life was good again. I thought that I had checked it but apparently did not.
