Expertise
Alarm system questions cannot be answered on this forum. These systems are not what I can answer. Without being physically at the vehicle and not knowing what kind of electrical service has been done on the vehicle, there is no possible way to give an accurate answer over the internet. My expertise is in Ignition/key based anti-theft systems. These issues include GM VATS (resistor chip in key blade) PASSLOCK (MRD)-ignition lock rotation based, no special ignition key and the PKIII Transponder (computer chip in key) systems. These systems are not alarm based and are integral with the starting of the engine. This is why I cannot diagnose alarm problems without physically looking at the vehicle: Alarm systems are a completely different annimal than ignition key/lock based anti-theft system. Many alarm questions come from vehicles 10 years old, and since older, many hands that had been involved over the years.I am an expert in all GM factory (ignition/key based)systems. Alarm system questions pose to many situations beyond my knowledge as to what has been done to the vehicle over the years. Some guy may have actually wired the stereo into the alarm system. Who knows? Over my past 30 years in vehicle wiring repair, I have seen unbelievable wiring disaters done by guys that consider themselves "mechanics." I have seen stereos and alarms intalled using surgical tape. I have seen modules burn up, un-fused circuits, wiring jambed between the doors and even lamp cord used for a starter kill. To answer alarm questions over the internet without examining the vehicle is like asking; What does it take to remove a dent?

Cadillac Repair - Turn Signals

Expert: Rob Painter - 11/12/2009

Question
I have a 1993 Cadillac Sixty-Special. I need to replace the front turn signal bulbs. I have to turn the whole unit to get it out of the light area, but I can't get it out of the socket. It's not a screw in bulb and I am very confused, and a little embarassed I can't figure it out

Answer
Hello,

Don't be embarrassed. The factory plays games like this. I would suggest getting the replacement bulb first. It may come with a socket or it pulls straight out.

Look at the replacement bulb. You should be able to figure it out. If you still have problems write me at robo14@aol.com
