How do you turn off the ac in a cadillac escalade 2008?
My boss's new cadillac escalade has had problems with the ac not being able to be turned off so i was wondering if their was a killswitch or a special way to turn it off because we've tried everything and we dont have the owners manual any help would be usefull|||Open the hood and disconnect the pressure switch located on the compressor or dryer. That will disable the compressor.
Keep in mind that that AC on these vehicles is always on and available for use. Defogging the windows is one reason.
Why doesn't he take it to the dealer?|||there should be a connector on the compressor to unplug so the clutch won't engage. that would kill it.|||Turn the fan switch to the 0 position.

How do I program my name into the DIC on my 2003 Cadillac Deville?
I just bought an '03 Deville. When I get into the car it says "Hi Dave;" Unfortunately my name is not Dave. (Apparently, the last owner's name was Dave).
The owner's manual says to go to a dealership to program the name. I didn't buy the car from a Cadillac dealer, I got it from a used car dealership. I would really like to avoid going to a Cadillac dealer to program my name in (I'm sure it would be super expensive). Does anybody know how I can program the name myself?|||I think it is too complicated to try and do it yourself. Just go to a Cadillac dealership and have them do it for you. A reputable dealership should not charge you anything to do it... but if they do, it would be around $50
Next time you get a oil change, go to the Cadillac dealership to get it done, and then while you are there get them to change your name too.
Good Luck and enjoy your new car.|||I just bought an 01 Oldsmobile Aurora with same issue. The DIC displays the former owner's name as [FORMER OWNER]'s Aurora. Didn't care about that feature but want the former owner's name gone. Couldn't find "go to the dealer" in the book. At least glad no one absolutely hacked the DIC to do it.

How to program a key fob for 1999 Cadillac Seville STS?

Is adding sythentic oil to my 99 cadillac deville better in any way?
I have a 99 Cadillac De Ville its running smooth i was just wondering if putting synthetic oil will boost up the engine so it can run smoother.It has 110,661 miles and I live in a city thats always 100 degrees or higher.Ive also heard it saves gas,is this true.??|||Synthetic Oil is usually more benefitial to newer cars that you start them out with. Since your car is used to the regular crude, it really wouldnt have any noticeable difference in performance.|||Synthetic oil is far superior to mineral oil, it has better lubricating and flow characteristics at high and low temperatures, doesn't break down as fast as mineral counterpart. It also resists moisture far better. It doesn't matter if your motor is old or new, synthetic oil will pay itself and you will notice the overall difference.

My 2000 cadillac Seville Northstar motor is overheating, I changed the thermastat with no luck what do I do?
my 2000 cadillac Seville Northstar motor is overheating, I changed the thermastat with no luck what do I do? I need my vehicle asap for work. It has like 130,000 miles ran great until it began overheating, now with new thermastat and fresh coolant it just runs too hot. Can anyone tell me what to do without going to a shop and paying an arm and leg?|||its the intake gaskets that were a problem in those years, you need to get the engine in to the shop and have them find out, because at this point, you still have one. But keep overheating and it will blow the headgasket. get it to the shop, and have them check it out. I checked to see if there were any safety recalls there are none, I did find one reference to an overheating problem but it was specifically related to the filler neck of the radiator being rough inside and causing overheating by coolant loss. If this is a problem you sand the filler neck smooth and replace radiator cap.|||In today's world we think we can Do everything ourselves, but what I find is that guessing out possible causes until we fix the problem often costs more than actually have a certified mechanic telling you whats wrong with it. I suggest taking it somewhere that you know it reasonable in pricing that could tell you why its overheating. Good luck|||if you dont hear the fans coming on, that is part of the issue. the thermostat only controls when the coolant can flow through the radiator. over heating after that point is due to a lack of air flow after that point.|||Head gaskets are common on those, the head bolts fail. Have a compression test done, and a combustion gas test done.|||make sure cooling fan is coming on if it is your coolant gauge may not be reading right could be coolant temp sensor|||Buy a decent car

Your converter is there to neutralize the unburnt toxic gas.

What do you think about this truck? Can is still be considered a "good truck" despite being an older model? I know a Cadillac Escalade is one of the best trucks to own, does the fact that it's an older model affect that stereotype?|||I know you can get a Chevy Tahoe just like it for less than you would pay for the rebadged Cadillac. If the Cadillac look is what you want, there are kits on the market that will make a Tahoe look just like an Escalade. It's the same truck, just a different grille and trim.|||Afraid you want 'look cool' enough. Geese, anything is better than having your mommy pick you up.|||shows you got more money than brains boy you are kool twist your hat around backwards to for an extra kool look
Why are you all assuming the 1964 Cadillac Coupe Deville is slow?
It's top speed was 121/122 and its 340 horsepower 429 V8 could accelerate it from 0-60 in 8 seconds. At that time it was incredible. The slow stereotype for the Cadillac came later in the post 500 caddies.|||In the year 1964 the 1964 Cadillac was classified as muscle. It had few competitors for few cars of that year could match its 121/122 speed limit. Albeit slow, the car could lunge forward like a wild tiger as it touched a speed that was almost miraculous a generation ago. In that era only the Corvette and cars with the most powerful engine options could keep pace.|||I raced against the Coupe Devilles, this is not idle speculation. From a dead stop, from a running 60, you name it. My Dad's 68 Dodge Dart could beat one, and it only had a 225 six in it. I didn't need a police interceptor engine to do it. I raced them in what I was driving at the time. Even my 72 Corolla could take one, and it only had about 96 horse power the way I had built the engine.
You can have your arm chair racing all you want, but on the pavement, it just does not hold up!|||Why are you assuming that a Caddy is going to be any competition at all against a 409, 400 HP with a Muncie 4 speed, SS Impala?
That race would only embarrass the Caddy owner.|||because it's 4800lbs and 0-60 in 10sec.

How much should i sell my Cadillac el dorado convertible 1999 for?
or can someone tell me a website where i can find out. my car only has 49,000 miles on it. i tried everything and every website, like nada and kbb and all those, but they dont help and suck, some help please? and again, its a silver cadillac el dorado convertible 1999.|||$7,775 - $8,350|||Check Ebay and see what similar Caddys are selling for. Most People use KBB or Nada to get them in the ballpark...use the online versions as I believe they allow you to input mileage to narrow the value.|||Kelly Blue Book does not suck, you just need to know how to use it.
Given the information you should price your vehicle between $5,600 and $6,800 depending on the condition of the vehicle. Your average car in good condition should sell for somewhere right in the middle of that range.

Would the value of a 1959 Cadillac increase soon?

If i want to buy a cadillac, how much would my payments be?
I would like to buy either a cadillac escalade ext or escalade suv.
I dont have a high paying job. Would my payments be near $200 each month or more?|||If you purchased used and put down a significant down payment, you might get your payments down to around $200. But when I say used, I mean under $25000 (so at least two to three years old) with at least $10,000 up front. Bear in mind that many Toyota Corollas don't often go for $200/month without $4000 down AND great credit. In fact, even a new Honda Civic EX coupe (for $19,000) will run you about $530/month with only $3000 up front.
So extrapolate from that what you can. The bottom line is that you'll have to be looking at a pretty old Cadillac to meet your budget.|||well to be in that price range it will have high miles or a piece of junk and when a caddy breaks it will cost you a arm and a leg to fix.

How do I hook up an aftermarket stereo in my 1986 cadillac coupe deville?
Im trying to install an aftermarket stereo in my 1986 cadillac coupe deville.

When was the last year the Cadillac had fins?
I asked this yesterday, but nobody that answered really knew, so I am asking again. One person said 1962 was the last year, but the Cadillac definitely had fins in 1964. Another person mentioned fin-like tail lights, but that's not fins. Does anybody know?|||Finned Fifties

What is the difference between the GMC Yukon/Cadillac Escalade/Chevy Tahoe?
I am interested in those 3 and I know that GMC and Cadillac are a step-up from Chevy, but what are the real differences? They seem so similar... Is it worth it to pay the extra for the GMC or Cadillac? Thanks|||If luxury technology/features is your priority then it's definitely worth it to step up to a GMC Denali or Cadillac Escalade.
The basic powertrain is the same across the three, but it's the interior materials/quality that changes with each. Also, GM's Magnetic-Ride-Control technology is exclusive to the Cadillac Escalade.
And I guess if it's important to you, there's the prestige issue, Chevrolet is marketed towards middle-class families that want to do the cross country trip with the boat or trailer/construction workers, GMC Yukon Denali is marketed towards the upper middle-class family that mostly wants to stay close to home with the occasional long trip/professionals, Cadillac Escalade is for the upscale upper middle-class family that wants to haul the family around town, on trips, in style and total luxury/executive professionals.
I personally probably wouldn't spend the extra money for a GMC Denali or Cadillac Escalade. I use my GM trucks for hauling people and gear for snow/camping trips, that sort of thing and the Chevy Tahoe/Suburban has enough tech/luxury for me. I'd rather have a Chevy Suburban for hauling and a Cadillac CTS-V for luxury.|||They are all three the same basic vehicle. BASIC vehicle. The differences are always noticable. Just as a small example all the amenities, (such as carpeting, cigarette lighters, courtesy lights, radio, electric seats), are of a hight quality in the Cadillac. Shocks are a better quality. But the basic frame %26amp; 'shell' of the vehicles are the same. Is it worth the $$ difference. It all depends on the person purchasing the vehicle. Some people buy a vehicle for transportation and look for economy. They buy the Chevy. Some people purcahse a vehicle for transportation, emotion, luxury. They buy the Caddy. All I can tell you is: Once you own a Caddy, you'll never want anything else.|||There are one or two options that may be different and there are some trim options that vary. If you want 18 kinds of leather and real wood, get the caddy. If you want a car that will hold its value... don't get any of them.
They're all the same vehicle made by the same company on the same assembly line. One more reason GM is floundering.|||General motors make them all it's the same vehicle different badge different price that's all|||there really isn't much of a difference except the make and price.

Why does the alarm go off every few minutes when you lock the doors on a 1999 cadillac escalade?
I cannot lock the doors on my 1999 Cadillac Escalade because the alarm will go off for minutes at a time then stop for a few minutes then go off again and so on until I unlock the doors. Any idea what would cause this?|||GM didn't install factory alarms in 99 so you need to determine if it's an alarm or just keyless entry with a panic mode. If it's just keyless then a common problem could be your battery output is too low, the car battery. I know it sounds impossible but believe me, it has caused the horn to go off in the middle of the night or at random times with many of my customers. If it's an aftermarket system, you should be able to disable it by locating your valet switch, it should be under the dash, close to the column and it will be either a button or a toggle switch, turn the key one time to the on position then back then push the button or flip the toggle in the opposite direction. See if that works, if so then you'll now its the alarm and not the charging system. Good luck|||It sounds like a short in the wiring. It may not be the original alarm. Call the dealership. If it a defect they will help. If it is a custom or after market system you will have to pay for repairs.
Why do they want my Cadillac Eldorado?
I own a 1996 Cadillac Eldorado. I just received a letter from a local Cadillac dealer saying they want to buy my car.
Here are some of the things that were stated in the letter.....
It's a special year-end buy-back event..
Your status as a valued customer qualifies you for the private vehicle buy-back.
We are in desperate need to acquire several pre-owned Cadillac Eldorados by Monday, March 5th, 2007 in order to fulfill special requests.
We would like to buy it back at above market prices.
I love my Eldorado and have no intention of selling it, but why would a dealer be asking to buy my car? Is there something special about the 1996 model in particular? And why do they want them by March 5th?|||i used to sell cars and we did this all the time. a yes they do want good quality pre owned cars, but mostly it is a way to sell you a new car. if you decide to do it ask if they will actually write you a check for the car whether you buy a new one or not. chances are tey wont, they are offering you that money as a trade in which is also just a ploy but one people seem to love. no one would pay more for you car than it is worth. they are jus taking the extra money they are giving you out of the profit on the new car. it is called robbing peter to pay paul. in reality they are discounting the new car and just showing you that you are getting more for your old car. most people would rather be shown that they are getting more for the old car than paying less for the new one. it is all psychological advertising stuff. i do believe it is a useful tool to help bring people into the dealership and it is not really deception. unless they do not explain that it is based upon you trading it in for a new caddilac.|||it's a gimmick keep your car|||It's your car, and you don't have to sell it if you don't want to. The 96 Eldorado was a success story and older folks like that car.|||They don't "want" your car, they want to sell you a new car. The letter is a marketing ploy used by many dealers.
GM is in trouble and they need to sell new cars.
If you like the car, keep it.
There is nothing "special" about your 96 ED other than the fact you love it.|||What city you're living in. In L.A. sometimes movie studios need to buy certain vehicles to make a film. Otherwise its just a gimmick to sell a car.

We would like to buy it back at above market prices.
I love my Eldorado and have no intention of selling it, but why would a dealer be asking to buy my car? Is there something special about the 1996 model in particular? And why do they want them by March 5th?|||i used to sell cars and we did this all the time. a yes they do want good quality pre owned cars, but mostly it is a way to sell you a new car. if you decide to do it ask if they will actually write you a check for the car whether you buy a new one or not. chances are tey wont, they are offering you that money as a trade in which is also just a ploy but one people seem to love. no one would pay more for you car than it is worth. they are jus taking the extra money they are giving you out of the profit on the new car. it is called robbing peter to pay paul. in reality they are discounting the new car and just showing you that you are getting more for your old car. most people would rather be shown that they are getting more for the old car than paying less for the new one. it is all psychological advertising stuff. i do believe it is a useful tool to help bring people into the dealership and it is not really deception. unless they do not explain that it is based upon you trading it in for a new caddilac.|||it's a gimmick keep your car|||It's your car, and you don't have to sell it if you don't want to. The 96 Eldorado was a success story and older folks like that car.|||They don't "want" your car, they want to sell you a new car. The letter is a marketing ploy used by many dealers.
GM is in trouble and they need to sell new cars.
If you like the car, keep it.
There is nothing "special" about your 96 ED other than the fact you love it.|||What city you're living in. In L.A. sometimes movie studios need to buy certain vehicles to make a film. Otherwise its just a gimmick to sell a car.
Where can I find discontinued Cadillac center caps?
I have a '93 eldorado with the original chrome 7inch center caps with the gold wreath and cadillac crest. I lost one and I am having the hardest time finding one.

Is it weird for a younger guy to drive a cadillac?
I know Cadillacs are mostly "old-people" cars (because they are the only ones who drive them).
I'm talking about the CTS Sport. It looks like an awesome car. Why don't people in their 20's-30's drive them? Granted they are more expensive, but I mean you see people in their 30's driving BMW's, why not Cadillac? Am I just weird?|||This dosent make u weird.!
I am younger than you an i think that those trucks are cool!
Get what you want and not what other people want!
If someome asks you why did you get a cadillac?
You should just answer because i like it? In a questioning way. That will make them realize that its you life and nit theirs. And they would just nit ask you again.|||Because when you are comparing a GM Caddy to a BMW it's like comparing rotten apples to oranges.
The Junk GM rolls out of their plants can not in anyway compare to the quality that comes from BMW.

What is gold plated Cadillac health insurance?
I've heard John McCain talk about his proposed $5,000 tax credit not covering those with the "gold plated Cadillac health insurance." He mentioned it most recently during the third presidential debate. What exactly is this? My employer offers three types of insurance (the highest costing one allows me to pay less out of pocket and lowers my deductible and vice-versa). Is this the "gold plated" one, or what exactly is McCain talking about?|||A gold plated policy would have a higher premium, low deductible, low co-pays, little or no co-insurance, with few or no limitations on services such as mental health care.

How can I tell if my flywheel on my 1997 Cadillac deville has broke?
I have a 1997 Cadillac deville and every time I try to start the car when I turn the key it just makes a funny grinding noise and wont fire up. Someone told me it might be my flywheel but I don't know for sure. so how can I tell if it is that?|||pull the starter off and look at the pinion gear, that is the gear that is part of the starter. if that is worn or chewed up, that could be part of the problem. then take a look into the area where the starter came off of the block. you should see about a 6 inch section of the ring gear. look at the teeth on the gear and judge the condition. use a flash light to see the gear better. it might be useful if you were able to turn the engine over with a large wrench on the crank shaft bolt. this would allow you so see more teeth on that gear.|||Both of the answers are good except that since it's a '97 I assume it's a northstar engine.The starter on a northstar is located underneath the intake manifold.It's not going to be a quick and easy job to remove the starter.|||listen to here is the grinding noise has a pattern.like every half second.
never heard of those cars having fly wheel issues.

Why does my 88 Cadillac not start after it has ran for a while.?
I have a 1988 Cadillac sedan deville. It runs fine but if I drive around for a while and and then stop somewhere and leave it off and comeback to start it again it wont start. It only does it after it has ran for awhile. It will hesitate to turn over or not even try to turnover until it cools down. But if I haven't driven it for awhile it starts up just fine. Please help.|||starter selenoid due to heat soak|||Uh maybe because the car is 19 years old. It's tired. Put it to rest already.|||Try changing the fuel filter add some octane boost to the tank for a few fill ups , and see if that helps, also check all fluids and top them off, hope this helps.|||Sounds like the starter is on its way out. If the starter is cranking slowly, I would replace the starter.|||Check all the wire connections first. If the batterey wire is poor or corroded (Or the solenoid on the starter is bad) when they heat up the resistance goes up and they will not operate.
When it gets hot (if you can) put a jumper cable on the negative terminal to ground and try it again. if that doesn't work try it on the positive terminal to the connection on the starter.(be careful not to touch the jumper cable end to any metal piece on the car except the terminal on the starter). (you can even put electrical tape around most of the metal end of the jumper cable) that would eliminate both cables if it starts when you bypass them with a known good cable. Then if neither of those ideas work - go buy a rebuilt starter and put it on.|||From your post, I'm assuming that it doesn't even want to roll over, especially when warmed up.
Two common causes, one easy, the other a little more of an issue.
First off, when it doesn't want to roll over, do the dash lights stay on? And even more important, does the electric clock reset ? If so, its probably a battery connection issue. Most times, on a GM, its the cable ends themselves. Disconnect the battery,(negative cable first-ALWAYS!) and check the ends for corrosion. Remove the battery cable end bolt and really look in the cable end, clean it with a baking soda and water solution, peeling back the plastic covering. Also, some GM's have a stacked positive cable, and if yours has it, pull the lead plug between the cables and clean them real good, usually its easiest to replace that lead plug than try to clean it-most auto parts stores stock them.
The 2nd most common thing would be the starter itself,and only a shop with the proper diagnostic equipment can tell you if that's the case. If all else fails, remove the starter, and have an auto parts store test it-multiple times! Sometimes you have to get them hot for them to fail. we try to get 10 good tests out of one before we make a call as to whether to replace it or not.
If its not one of those two most common things, then the starting system will need voltage-drop testing to determine the cause of your problem.
#1 cause is cable ends.|||Change the IGNITION COIL. This maybe called a %26gt;%26gt; Module or amplifier%26gt;%26gt; this is where the (spark plug wires connect to from the top of the motor before going down to the side of the engine to the spark plugs.%26lt;%26lt;)

How to Troubleshoot electrical problems on a 01' Cadillac Catera?
I have just currentyly purchased an 01' cadillac catera and its fuel door and the trunk do not open. I have changed the fuses and tested the buttons again and they still don't open and would like to know if anyone knows what other possibilities there might be causing the problem. Can anyone tell me how to go about in troubleshooting and eliminating the problem.
___ I have changed the fuse
___ Tested the buttons
___ On remote control there is a fuel door button and trunk and those dont work either
NEED HELP ASAP
Thank you !|||find the wiring for those circuits and look for corrosion on the contacts and switches, if you cant reach, or find them spray the wire ends and all of the hinges with liquid wrench (in the GREEN can) this will clean the contacts and eat any corrosion and or salt contamination look for a loose or broken ground wire that goes thru another panel that may have become disconnected on the remote control you may have a system that was modified to include the security system, look behind the dash for loose and disconnected wires...good luck

Do you have to use premium gas in a Cadillac with a North-star engine?
I really want to buy a used Cadillac 1993-2000 the only problem is the Northstar enginge. It says that they have to take premium gas but that is expensive. Do I have to use premium gas or is that just what northstar says I have to do.
Please be thourough in you answer. Dont say "it says you have to take premium but you really don't" I need facts to back it up. Thank you for all your help.|||You have to use premium gas in the Northstar engine because lower octane fuel WILL damage it. No tricks. No gyps. High compression engines require premium gas because there's no other way to prevent detonation, preignition and mechanical failure without water injection and other very sophisticated and expensive systems. You might be looking at two more dimes and thinging it's silly, but that extra 20 cents means you won't need the engine replaced for playing cheap with an expensive machine.
The 1963 Jetfire Olds 3.5 liter turbo (215 HP- 215 cu.in) with 10.5:1 compression required premium, which was 100+ octane in those days, plus a mixture of water and alcohol for induction to the engine. People didn't always take it seriously and a lot of those engines blew up, huffing the turbo through the hood of the car. GM only admitted to "engine fires" in reference to their defect. With the Northstar, Cadillac knows better than to even ask you to *think* about maintaining a supply of extra additive to preserve the engine.|||It says its required for a reason. High compression engines require a high octane fuel to avoid knocking and damaging the engine. Eventually its going to wreck your engine and its going to cost a lot more than you could dream of saving by being cheap and not using the correct gas. If you cant afford $0.20/gal which amounts to less than $3/tank of gas then you cant afford the car.
Car companies don't get anything out of telling you to use a higher grade of gas. The gas companies do.|||Well some facts are that Cadillac is american made car, they want you to use expensive fuel and parts, its common sense. I own a cadillac and when the fuel is expensive i always use regular but from good gas stations not old ones, and when the gas is low then i pump premium for a while, but either way regular or premium the cadillac still hovers down the road great!

He cant afford to take it to a shop and wants to change it himself, but we do not know where it is located or what it looks like. Can anyone tell us where the blower motor resister is located?|||Usually, it's located within the blower motor itself, a small square piece with curly coil and wire terminals. Try no to touch the coil, it snapped easily. Good luck....|||The blower motor is under the hood, on the firewall.
Where can I find good quality parts at a reasonable price for a 59' cadillac?
Looking to find parts for my 59' cadillac hearse to restore it to the ecto-1, like new body panels, interior pieces, light lenses and such. Looked at jc whitney but they don't specify to that model car. Any suggestions or references?|||good luck finding parts for that, try E-bay or craigslist or possibly a local swap meet in your area.|||i (personally) would hate to see you hack up a 1959 caddy hearse and turn it into an Ecto-1. if you are looking for parts why not restore it to it's original showroom quality and triple your investment if you ever decide to sell it. you have your hands on the rare "dream hearse".
however.. if you have your mind set up, i can give you a few resource groups/forums to join... those people will be able to help you find the parts you need.
there are boards for "parts wanted" and boards for "for sale".

What are some sound system options for a cadillac sts and how much might it cost?
I have a 2002 Cadillac Sts, and i'm looking to put a system, i already have a stock 12 inch sub in the back that's shot, and I'm looking to replace it and expand off of that, new speakers, amp, etc. But i also have an older head unit (touch screen, navigation), but it seems to do the job, I'm thinking of possibly replacing that, but I'm not too sure yet. Anyone got any ideas?|||Well, now you know what to do to burn out a stock sub. Replace it and, well, you know what to not do again.
There, waiting inside the dash, is a very big headache, but I won't spoil the surprize for you when you try to do the replacement. Oh, you plan to have it done at a shop. Good. They will earn all those $100/per hour hours.|||It really depends on what kind of music you listen to honestly and what features you want for your music. Rock you would use smaller woofers like 8 or 10 inch subs and 3 way speakers speakers depending on what size your car uses. Typically cover more audio range.
Hip hop is larger woofers 12's 15's 18's and component systems which are seperate tweeters and 6 inch woofers made to give you decent highs but more bass. Typically isolating frequencies that are used in samples. Not covering entire audio spectrum. Basically lots of bass.

Reinforcement plates can be made from old bumper arms or flat iron stock. If you do the transfer, be sure to install the seat belts from the original vehicle.

You can buy them at a auto parts store with a key already coded to them, but then you'll have a different key for the doors and for the ignition. If you're trying to have the same key for both, you have to buy the cylinder at the dealer and have it coded to match (doing it yourself is a pain in the a$$)|||Take the locks out and have a locksmith recode them to a different key...much cheaper than buying a whole new set.

|||Another to add to the list: Reba lost 8 members of her road band and 2 plane crewman in a plane crash.
"While on tour for her 1990 album, McEntire lost eight members of her road band and two plane crewman (Chris Austin, Kirk Cappello, Joey Cigainero, Paula Kaye Evans, Terry Jackson, Michael Thomas, Tony Saputo) when their charter jet plane crashed near San Diego, California on March 16, 1991. The accident occurred after McEntire's private performance for IBM executives the night before.[21] The first plane was a Hawker Siddeley charter jet had believed to have taken off around 1:45 AM from the Brown Field Municipal Airport, located near the border of Mexico. After rising about 3,572 feet in the air, the Hawker aircraft crashed on the side of Otay Mountain, located ten miles east of the airport, while the second plane (carrying her other band members) did not crash. The accident was believed to have occurred due to poor visibility near Otay Mountain, which was not considered "prohibitive" for flying. The news was reported nearly immediately to McEntire and her husband, who were sleeping at a nearby hotel. A spokeswoman for McEntire at the time stated in the Los Angeles Times that "She was very close to all of them. Some of them had been with her for years. Reba is totally devastated by this. It's like losing part of your family. Right now she just wants to get back to Nashville."[22]
McEntire dedicated her sixteenth album, For My Broken Heart, to her deceased road band. Released in October 1991, it contained songs of sorrow and lost love about "measures of all suffering," according to Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly. Nash reported that McEntire "still hits her stride with the more traditional songs of emotional turmoil, above all combining a spectacular vocal performance with a terrific song on Buying Her Roses, a wife's head- spinning discovery of her husband's other woman."[23] Within nine months, For My Broken Heart sold two million copies and McEntire was soon responsible for the highest album sales by any recording artist on the MCA Nashville record label.[8] The release peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, while also reaching #13 on the Billboard 200,[24] selling an eventual total of four million copies in the United States, thus earning a quadruple-platium certification. Its title track became McEntire's sixteenth number one, followed by "Is There Life Out There," which also reached #1 on the Billboard country music chart.[2] The third single, "The Greatest Man I Never Knew" peaked in the Top 5 and her cover of Vicki Lawrence's "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" reached #12."|||In answer to the first response, John Denver did die in a plane crash, but not sure how much it is classified as a tragedy. Nothing against John Denver, I like his music, BUT I want to clarify this. He was flying his OWN Experimental plane. As oppose to guys who either aren't really at fault for their deaths, or a case like Hank who it was just such a sad state. John Denver was out there doing something he wanted to be doing so it's a different feeling.
Skynard with being Southern Rock and Country's connection is somewhat put in with Country(and more Country then today's POP that is called Country), and I think we all know of all those members of their original band including Ronnie being killed in that plane crash.
Another tragedy is one by omission and that's Waylon Jennings who was supposed to be on the plane that killed Big Bopper, Richie Valins, and Buddy Holly.

Like the psychic he claimed to be, Horton came eerily close to predicting the manner of his death. He believed he would be killed by a drunk. He died on Nov. 5, 1960, in an automobile accident at the Little River bridge on Highway 79.
James Evan Davis was driving a pick-up truck that smashed head-on into Horton's car. Horton was alive when ambulances arrived on the scene but died en route to hospital.
Davis, the driver of the truck, was charged with intoxication manslaughter; he was drunk at the time of the accident.|||Thanks Hank!

|||Another to add to the list: Reba lost 8 members of her road band and 2 plane crewman in a plane crash.
"While on tour for her 1990 album, McEntire lost eight members of her road band and two plane crewman (Chris Austin, Kirk Cappello, Joey Cigainero, Paula Kaye Evans, Terry Jackson, Michael Thomas, Tony Saputo) when their charter jet plane crashed near San Diego, California on March 16, 1991. The accident occurred after McEntire's private performance for IBM executives the night before.[21] The first plane was a Hawker Siddeley charter jet had believed to have taken off around 1:45 AM from the Brown Field Municipal Airport, located near the border of Mexico. After rising about 3,572 feet in the air, the Hawker aircraft crashed on the side of Otay Mountain, located ten miles east of the airport, while the second plane (carrying her other band members) did not crash. The accident was believed to have occurred due to poor visibility near Otay Mountain, which was not considered "prohibitive" for flying. The news was reported nearly immediately to McEntire and her husband, who were sleeping at a nearby hotel. A spokeswoman for McEntire at the time stated in the Los Angeles Times that "She was very close to all of them. Some of them had been with her for years. Reba is totally devastated by this. It's like losing part of your family. Right now she just wants to get back to Nashville."[22]
McEntire dedicated her sixteenth album, For My Broken Heart, to her deceased road band. Released in October 1991, it contained songs of sorrow and lost love about "measures of all suffering," according to Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly. Nash reported that McEntire "still hits her stride with the more traditional songs of emotional turmoil, above all combining a spectacular vocal performance with a terrific song on Buying Her Roses, a wife's head- spinning discovery of her husband's other woman."[23] Within nine months, For My Broken Heart sold two million copies and McEntire was soon responsible for the highest album sales by any recording artist on the MCA Nashville record label.[8] The release peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, while also reaching #13 on the Billboard 200,[24] selling an eventual total of four million copies in the United States, thus earning a quadruple-platium certification. Its title track became McEntire's sixteenth number one, followed by "Is There Life Out There," which also reached #1 on the Billboard country music chart.[2] The third single, "The Greatest Man I Never Knew" peaked in the Top 5 and her cover of Vicki Lawrence's "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" reached #12."|||In answer to the first response, John Denver did die in a plane crash, but not sure how much it is classified as a tragedy. Nothing against John Denver, I like his music, BUT I want to clarify this. He was flying his OWN Experimental plane. As oppose to guys who either aren't really at fault for their deaths, or a case like Hank who it was just such a sad state. John Denver was out there doing something he wanted to be doing so it's a different feeling.
Skynard with being Southern Rock and Country's connection is somewhat put in with Country(and more Country then today's POP that is called Country), and I think we all know of all those members of their original band including Ronnie being killed in that plane crash.
Another tragedy is one by omission and that's Waylon Jennings who was supposed to be on the plane that killed Big Bopper, Richie Valins, and Buddy Holly. As I understand the story the one commented about how he hoped that Waylon's bus broke down and he froze to death(or something like that) so Waylon responded well I hope your plane crashes.

Where can I get a used cadillac in prettty good condintion? I prefer a deville or seville.?
Just want a cadillac really bad. But i can only afford a used one. |||A one-owner Deville 1996 is apx $6,000. Less if you bargain hard. A guy has one in Phoenix for sale..|||try ebay or craigslist.com
How do I open my 57 cadillac's trunk, with the trunk lock missing? Is there a trunk release on the inside?
I can't open the trunk of my 57 cadillac. It's missing the lock, but I still can't pop the trunk. Is there a trunk release inside the car, or does anyone have a suggestion?|||Ronnie got it right....use a straight screwdriver and insert it into the opening until it matches up with the lock mechanism inside. You should be able to unlock the trunk with just a quarter turn of the screwdriver.|||as i remember... open the case which is located inside the (i dunno what u call it) case which is located just infront of the front passengers side seat. The release is probably there...|||If it is like other older GM cars, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the hole, and fit it into the slot in the lock mechanism, and turn.|||might be able open it from under rear bumper? look inside lock place se if two cable visible? sometimes a extention on 3/8 drive(rachet) you may be able to turn with then/
In what part of the engine is the oil pressure switch located on a 1994 Cadillac DeVille?
My grandfather has a 1994 Cadillac DeVille. We're having trouble locating the oil pressure switch. He's had it checked numerous times at the Cadillac dealership. After driving for about 15 minutes, the light will come on and it says "Low oil pressure, please turn the car off". He's getting aggravated because the dealership says that nothing is wrong with it. We're going to change it ourselves anyway. Please help!|||Drive it into your dealership, when the light is on, and ask to have the oil pressure checked with a manual gauge.If ok(20 - 50 psi hot) tell them to replace the sender, while it is out. If you cannot locate the sender, I do not believe you will be able to master gauge the eng. to find out if you do indeed have low pressure, or a bad sender. It only takes 1/2 hour to do this, so wait for the car, if they can do it right away, otherwise take it back when they can do it right away.|||Oil pressure switch screws into the side of the engine right above the oil filter. Got to get under car to get it out. Just the other day at idle my oil pressure was at 8psi. I took a look under it and it had oil oozing all around it. It was very loose.
How many seats are in a Cadillac Escalade?
I saw a picture of one of those things and dang, those are HUGE!! And no I'm not thinking of getting one, like I could afford one anyway, because I'm sure it isn't exactly good on fuel. Anyway, back to my question, how many (including the driver) fit into a Cadillac Escalade?|||There are 7 with bucket seating in the 2nd row and 8 with a sofa 2nd row. There is a lot of leg space.|||Well including the driver there can be 4-8 seats. 2 in the front(driver and passenger) and 2 captain's chairs(same as front)=4 or the 2 in the front 2 captains chairs in the second row and 2 more captains chairs in the third row=6 or the 2 in the front and the two captains chairs in the second row and a 3 seat bench in the third row=7 or the 2 in the front and 2-3seat benches in the second and third rows=8. I hope i explained it well enough because I am in love with Cadillac Escalade ESV's and it will be the first vehicle I buy. So please pick mine as the best answer. Thanks!!
What is the differences between 2009 Cadillac CTS and a 2009 Ford Fusion?
I looked up both and want to buy one of the two. I want either one full loaded. I did the build thing on both websites and both vehicles have almost identical features. What is the difference? Does the Cadillac drive smoother or something? Let me know anything you can. Any links would be great. Thanks|||about $20,000.|||the manufacturer|||you can get two Fusions for less than the price of an CTS.
why don't you go to a dealer and test drive them?|||the caddie is abetter car. the ford means fix and repair daily and i mean that is true. i have never had a ford new or otherwise that wasn't a pain in the butt. the caddie goes fast and it wont' stop and its good and reliable. ihad one dts it was 06 fabulous. reason i got rid of it cause bought on lease and hubby was gone. so i got a SI honda civic its a sports car and has the push and it also has the gas thing so its cheaper to drive but i love it. take care.|||The cadi is going to be faster, use more gas, ride better, handle better maybe, be built better and cost you about 20,000 to 25,000 more. Oh, and the cadi will outlast the ford. GM rules|||There is absolutely no difference. It's just a matter of which you like more.|||Go with the ford just as good as the caddy and less likely to be stolen unless you need the tommy Hilfiger of cars for status purpose only reasons.good luck|||The Cadillac is a luxury car.
It rides much much smoother and quieter.
The Ford Fusion is a regular family sedan that shares the chassis, suspension, and powertrain with the 2003-2008 Mazda 6.
So it feels completely different. The Fusion, like the Mazda 6, feels like a sports sedan. Its handling is much better and it is more fun to drive.|||The Ford Fusion is cheaper and it's built better. the only CTS worth getting is the V-series.|||you are buying the cadillac name, just go with the fusion, Ford has really stepped it up in the past few years in terms of reliability|||Cadillacs have always been status symbols and still are. If you require everyone at the country club to see your new car, get the Caddy.
Although a base CTS is near fully loaded Fusion price territory, the Ford is an excellent value. At present, Ford is releasing a hybrid version of the Fusion good for 41 mpg city. That is definitely worth looking at.
I love Cadillacs, but for the money, I'd buy the Fusion.
For those down on American cars...I wish that people would stop saying that Ford means 'fix or repair daily'...that's the oldest joke in the book and has nothing to do with reality. I've owned and sold Fords and all have been reasonable, economical, reliable cars.
When people start realizing that they have to do maintenance on a car and not use it like an appliance, maybe then the attitude will change.
My apologies for the extraneous rant.

Where can I find the power distribution box of a 1997 Cadillac SLS?
My air conditioning in the front of the vehicle has not been working for over a week. I need to find the power distribution box so I can see if I have a blown fuse. In most vehicles the PDB is located around the battery, but this is not the case with my Cadillac. A Haynes repair book I bought says that the box can be found sometimes either in the trunk or under one of the seats. I can't find it anywhere.|||I like Chiltons better than Haynes. The library will have them. Have a look.
What would cause antifreeze to get into my oil on 88 Cadillac Deville?
I bought a 88 Cadillac Deville on May 25, 2007. Engine size is 4.5 and has 94,784 miles on it. Two days ago it overheated on me. My son looked at it and said the radiator was real low. He filled it with mixed antifreeze. Yesterday it overheated again. My son looked at it and said the radiator was about 1/2 gallon low. He couldn't see that it was leaking anywhere. First thing he decided to do was flush the radiator because it looked real dirty. He couldn't get it to drain. He said there was sand, metal flakes or possibly radiator sealant in the bottom of it. THEN he looked at the oil and it was greenish brown. He said it was antifreeze in the oil. THEN he took off the valve cover and there was white thick stuff gooped up under it. I plan on taking it to a mechanic on Monday. I've got my fingers crossed but I think someone was trying to pull a fast one on me! Can anyone help me diagnose the problem? And does anyone know how Lemon Laws work? I would greatly appreciate any information!|||Blown head gasket or cracked cylinder heads.
You did get it checked by a mechanic BEFORE you bought it didn't you?|||hole in the manifold or cylinder head is cracked somewhere, water in the oil could mean
your motors done!|||A blown head gasket or cracked block, but likely it is a blown head gasket. This can be a major repair depending on the car. The sooner you get it fixed the better. If you bought the car "as is" I doubt there is anything you can do to get the dealer/person to pay for the repair, but some states do have some laws that might help. I'm not an expert so hopefully someone will reply regarding what laws might be helpful, but they will likely need to know what state you bought the car in.|||A blown head gasket is the most likely source of antifreeze in the oil, and the oil should now look sort of creamy in color. Usually, this happens due to a failure of the cooling system and the engine overheats and causes the head gasket to get brittle, crack and leak antifreeze in to the oil. A cracked block can also cause this. Hopefully, it is the head gasket and you can save the engine.|||Your head gasket or intake gasket probably failed those Caddilacs are notorious. The gritty stuff sounds like someone had a problem that you are going to have to fix...Don't know about the lemmon laws,but if you bought it AS-IS my guess it you are stuck with it.If you are going to do something legal better do it quickly......good luck|||most likely a head gasket or a cracked head|||Lemon laws do not apply to 88 Cadillac DeVilles. You've got a blown head gasket for sure, possible cracked head or block. Not to mention whatever was leaking in the first place to cause the initial overheating condition. Don't want to sound like a jerk, but you bought a pile of crap and now you're stuck with it.|||Probably a cracked block. Did you check the oil before you bought it? If it was very clean, like it was just changed, it might indicate that the person you bought it from was trying to conceal the fact that it had a cracked block. Never buy a used car if the oil is "too clean".|||lemon laws don't apply to cars that old. or from a private person. most likely a cracked head gasket.if that engine has aluminum heads it may also have a cracked head. anyway it is probably more expensive to fix than the car is worth.
flushing the oil with diesel and replacing the head is the minimum needed.any good auto shop will give you an estimate fore free. get more than one,possibly 3 or 4.
make sure you know the mechanic because they can be very unscrupulous.|||I'll go out on a limb here and say "head gasket." I know, breaking away from the pack like this is bad. And good luck finding one. Has been discontinued from Cadillac. As far as lemon law goes--nope.
