* Old battery: Batteries typically last for around 3-5 years, so if your Cadillac's battery is older than that, it may simply be time for a replacement.
* Electrical drain: An electrical drain can occur when there is a circuit in the car that is staying active even when the car is turned off. This can be caused by a faulty light, radio, or other accessory.
* Loose or corroded battery cables: Loose or corroded battery cables can prevent the battery from receiving the power it needs to start the car.
* Alternator problems: The alternator is responsible for charging the battery, so if it is not working properly, the battery will not be able to hold a charge.
If you are experiencing a dead battery in your 1988 Cadillac, it is important to have it diagnosed by a qualified mechanic to determine the cause of the problem.
