      1994 cutlass convertible windows

      By miltonv81 · Posted

      Here's me issue.  Alternator died and the windows and top quit working along with all the guages.  Replaced alternator, guages are back working but the windows now when you turn the key on they will work sometimes and sometimes not in conjunction with the top.  Open the door when they are working all is fine till you close the door past the second detent then they quit working.  Initially thought it was the circuit breaker and that is assuming the same breaker controls the windows and top.  Now thinking the connector for the door to body but I wouldn't think the the wiring for the top would go through that connector, no sure.   any body ever experience this?

      I don't believe those have the manual release button.  IIRC, there is a mechanical over-ride with the key.  In the event of a failure, you turn the key to the "Off" position, which allows you to shift into neutral, then start the car.  The 2nd gens respond in a similar manner, however I believe the console shift interlock on those is fully electric, hence the need for the emergency release button.

      that's likely what's causing your issues. that solenoid can fail, happened on my 03 GTP. Does it have a neutral release? If it does try pushing it down and see if it will come out of park. that solenoid has a little plastic disc on it that comes out, and pulls a rod that releases the interlock, when you push the emergency park release, its just manually releasing it. not a super bad part to replace if you end up having to, just not sure about finding one.

      Now I can't even bring it out of park. I don't think it's related to the brake/turn signal switch, since I can get the brake lights to work if I pull the signal lever slightly back. But doing that doesn't help me release the shifter out of park. Seems like someone else mentioned a Shift Interlock Solenoid. Thoughts? That seems like a simpler part and something I can do quickly in comparison to the turn signal switch that I'm just living with so far.
