I have the 1984 oldsmobile shop manual , and in there are references to the "ETM,"which is the "electrical troubleshooting manual". I haven't found a source for it yet. Does anyone know if or where it might be found ??
thanks

Faxon has a copy. $15 in fair condition, $30 in very good condition.

Or, learn how to use the advanced search function on ebay. There are currently 25 of the 1984 ETMs for sale there. The cheapest is $4.99.

 

I now have the electrical troubleshooting manual plus the supplement for all 1984 olsmobiles. I'm a little disappointed in that the diagrams don't quite show what I'm looking for. there is a diagram for the standard wiper/ washer switch , and a diagram for the wiper/washer (pulse).that's fine , but these diagrams do not show the connections as used on the cruise control lever (stalk). and the cruise control ( multifunction lever) diagram does not show the connections which are included there for the wiper/ washer control. I'm having to try and figure out the system by putting two and two together. I think there is a problem in the "stalk " wiring , since it controls the "hot" side of everything , but it will take some time I guess. If the "stalk' on my car is defective That unit is used on many ,many GM cars from the 80's, including buick, olds, and pontiac , so I may be able to get a good used one. Dorman has new units but the price is around 100 dollars, so it is a little expensive . I'll check the local junk yardsto see what I can find.
It also appears there may be a third manual for this car , a "body" manual . I'll have to look into that also.
Well , enough of this for now .
You folks all have a nice day.
