Can not determine if the problem is the motor or switch or switch relay. I took off the door panel to expose the motor and found it seems to be rivited to the inner door pannel. The rivets look strange. They dont appear to be a fastener that can be unbolted. At this point it seems that I have to drill out the rivets to remove the motor to troubleshoot. Has anyone had a similair problem. I have not been able to a manual which explains the removal process.

thank you

Help and Thanks in Advance
With the running lights -- it sounds like a loose connection within the lighting harness to both the lights.
Good luck tmoney!
Open the hood. Remove the sidemarker/turn signal lamp by removing two screws. Remove the corner reflector by removing the screw behind it. Remove the headlamp assembly by removing 3 screws. Replace bulb from behind. Caution: do not touch halogen bulb with bare hand.
Got some ideas?
Good luck!
BTW. I have a '96 safari
What are the possibilities here? Is there a computer that controls the brakes? Could it be a fuse? I read in an earlier post something about the ABS pump? Any help is always appreciated! Thanks
Now engagement is difficult, that is why I say buy some new plugs and you can mount them in the door panel and push them in just like most door panels mount.
Sometimes the plugs are not completely destroyed when pulled out and possibly may be re used.
i have a 1995 astro AWD and i cant figure out how to fold down the rear bench seat.. it has a few levers [2 in front 1 in back] and i figured out how to slide it forward and back, but folding it into a 'bed' eludes me.. please help...
thanx in advance.
:confuse:
i should have mentioned, mines a custom ['sherrod'] model.. limited edition, so there are differences in the interior/exterior from the standard production astro's
i emailed sherrodvans.. as they still use the folding bedtype seat in their vans [according to the pictures] however they have yet to get back to me..
Try asking the folks in our Maintenance & Repair Forum -- there are two discussions there -- Maintenance & Repair Costs and Fuel Systems Maintenance/Repair that might be helpful.

Astro Van '94
180,000 miles
2WD
When I am at a speed in excess of 50mph this problem accurs.
At any speed above 50MPH when I take my foot of the gas and the vehicle begins to slow down I get a low pitched rumbling sound that sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car. It also feels as though something it's holding the vehicle back and not letting it run as smoothly as normal. Once I hit 80MPH the vibration and sound is constant when my foot is on the gas. The sound and vibration only occurs for the first 5mph of decceleration. So if I am doing 70mph and take my foot off the gas I get a low pitched rumbling sound (rumbling, grinding, mechanical type sound), a slight vibration, and it feels as though the vehicle is hesitating.
So far I have:
Changed the universal joints.
Checked the rearend and the fluid seemed good (I replaced it) and there was no metal shavings at all in the fluid, or on the magnet.
Checked the trans, fluid seemed alittle burnt, replaced the fluid and fluid filter, gasket all that good stuff.
Had the tires rebalanced.
Problem is still there and I can't figure it out. Neither can anyone I have talked to already.
Has anyone has this problem? Anyone have a clue as to what it is? Help.......
The van is not worth the money to have the dealership do it...so I must tackle it myself.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Sean
ign mod has been checked distributor is not to old . The Problem Idle is fine when i get on the open road the van will start to back fire and convulse and then shut down i will let it sit for up to 20 min. Sometimes it will start and sometimes it wont. Every one has an opinion but no solution... any ideas ?
The engine Sounds like its starving for gas.
this is my only vehicle and i cant buy a new one PLEASE HELP!!!!
My only choice right now is the full size GM vans with Awd. That's it! The Dodge Sprinter is really ugly and isn't available in AWD. Ford's full size isn't available in AWD. I need the seats as well as the cargo area when the seats are out. I really like the dutch doors on the Astro. Too bad GM couldn't keep the Astro platform alive. Anyone with any ideas for a replacement?
Problem always worst in reverse, assume motor shifts around. Idle rough and/or vribration worst in gear, stopped, and applying the brakes firmly. Always much less in Neutral or Park, but noticeable when the brakes are applied firmly in PARK too.
Fixed EGR first, runs much better, espec. at idle. Found engine mount problem while underneath looking for Fan problems/ fixing with new fan clutch. Changing motor mounts not easy on mine, as I have the auxillary oil cooler option and the hoses/tubes mount to the motor mount bracket and most of the bolts are completely buried in the brackets and the space is mucho tight to do under-car wihtout a lift. kab
Any ideas on where to start looking for what is going on? Do I need a new gauge? Sensor?
