    The theft system wires going to the ignition lock cylinder are probably broken on your 1992 Cadillac Eldorado. This had been reported as a common problem by RepairPal, please visit this link - http://repairpal.com/cadillac-eldorado-1992/problems

    I had the same problem, I took it to an auto fix it shop and the wires were not broken, but they installed a new resistor and bypassed the anti theft system now it works fine. cost me 53.20
