The key hole light in a 1993 Cadillac Eldorado is typically illuminated by a small bulb located in the instrument cluster. The bulb is powered by a fuse in the fuse box. If the key hole light is not illuminated when you pull out the headlight switch, there are a few possible causes:

The bulb may be burned out.

The fuse may be blown.

The wiring to the bulb may be damaged.

To troubleshoot the problem, you can try the following:

Check the bulb. If the bulb is burned out, you will need to replace it.

Check the fuse. If the fuse is blown, you will need to replace it.

Check the wiring to the bulb. If the wiring is damaged, you will need to repair or replace it.

If you have checked the bulb, the fuse, and the wiring and the key hole light is still not illuminated, you may need to take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis.

Here are the steps on how to replace the key hole light bulb in a 1993 Cadillac Eldorado:

Turn off the ignition and disconnect the negative battery cable.

Remove the instrument cluster bezel.

Locate the key hole light bulb.

Remove the bulb by carefully twisting it counterclockwise.

Install the new bulb by carefully twisting it clockwise.

Reinstall the instrument cluster bezel.

Connect the negative battery cable.

Here are the steps on how to check the fuse for the key hole light in a 1993 Cadillac Eldorado:

Locate the fuse box.

Locate the fuse for the key hole light.

Use a multimeter to check the fuse. If the fuse is blown, it will show continuity. If the fuse is not blown, it will not show continuity.

If you are not comfortable troubleshooting electrical problems, you should always consult with a qualified mechanic.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

To repair the illumination issue with the key hole light and console on your 1993 Cadillac Eldorado, you can follow these steps:

1. Check the fuse: Start by checking the fuse that controls the interior lights. Locate the fuse box, which is usually inside the cabin or under the dashboard. Refer to your vehicle's manual to find the specific fuse for the interior lights. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same rating.

2. Inspect the bulbs: If the fuse is not the issue, it's possible that the bulbs themselves have burnt out. Carefully remove the cluster and console covers to access the bulbs. Check if any of them are burnt or loose. Replace any faulty bulbs with the appropriate replacements.

3. Clean the connections: Sometimes, dirt or corrosion on the electrical connections can cause the lights to malfunction. Use electrical contact cleaner or rubbing alcohol to clean the connections on the bulb sockets, cluster, and console. Ensure that the connections are dry before reassembling.

4. Test the switch: The headlight switch itself could be the culprit. Test it by pulling it out to the position where the interior lights should illuminate. If there is no response, the switch may need to be replaced.Consult a professional or refer to the vehicle manual for instructions on how to remove and replace the headlight switch.

5. Seek professional help: If you are unsure about performing these steps or if the issue persists, it may be best to consult a professional mechanic or an automotive electrician. They will have the expertise and tools to diagnose and repair the specific issue with your car's electrical system. Remember to exercise caution and disconnect the car's battery before working on any electrical components. Safety should always come first.

I hope these suggestions help to resolve the illumination issue with your 1993 Cadillac Eldorado. Good luck, and drive safely!
