I recently bought an 89 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D’Elegance and I just have some questions about it. First off, what the heck are sequential lights(it’s a turn dial on the regular light switch that you pull). What side lights on the front do what, I’m not sure what light is out on the front. My blower is stuck on low, which is the restator I believe? Left side blinker marker doesn’t work, can I fix that? When I turn the key to start the car it gets kinda jammed there and “over revs” the starter. Would Wd-40 work for that? Both of my opera lights don’t work either, is that hard to replace? Thanks in advance for the answers, like I said I’m new to the caddy world but I’ve always loved them, bought the car for cheap and would love to restore it to its beauty.

See this thread/posting about the opera lamps. You probably won't like what you read.
It could be the inverter has stopped functioning. I forget where it is located at.

"What side lights on the front do what, I’m not sure what light is out on the front."

Do you mean the fender indicator lights? Those are illuminated via a fiber optic link from the turn signal light bulbs and headlight.

And I'm confident that it's not sequential but sentinel. That has two functions: If it's turned on at all than your headlights will turn automatically in the dark. the dial determines how long they stay on after you shut the car off.

LOL I wondered what they were talking about. Spot on I agree.

I’m gunna have to do without opera lights then. Oh I see, that’s kinda weird for an older car for the headlights to stay on after turning it off. The orange lights under the way lamp, what do they do? Blinker? Running lamp? Thanks again for the info.

Older car? 89? some people consider that barely used ... and I guess most of those features were already available in the 50s. Orange lamps: On my 87 they are always on and the inner part is also the the turn signal
