To Replace a Headlight (CONT.)
To check the aim, the vehicle should be
properly prepared as follows:
The vehicle must have all four tires on
a perfectly level surface.
The vehicle should not have any
snow, ice or mud attached to it.
There should not be any cargo or
loading of vehicle, except it should
have a full tank
of gas and one person
or
160 pounds (75 kg) on the driver's
seat.
Tires should be properly inflated.
The horizontal indicator should read
0 (zero). If
your vehicle is damaged in
an
accident and the headlight aim seems to
be affected, see your Oldsmobile dealer.
Headlights on damaged vehicles may
require recalibration of the horizontal
aim by your Oldsmobile dealer.

Headlight Wiring
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker in the component center.
An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go on and
off, or in some cases
to remain
off. If this happens, have your
headlight system checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow,
etc., the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload
is caused by some
electrical problem, have it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse-panel
protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current
load
is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit
until the problem is fixed.
