    How? Will I have to remove the dashboard?

    :confuse: Hi everyone. I'm not sure where to post this so I hope this is ok. My mom has a 99 Isuzu Rodeo, it has the factory alarm system in it called a DENSO (that's what it says on it). The alarm keeps going off by it's self and we can't get it to stop. Anyone every have this problem? We tried disconnecting it but the lights are still flashing. We disconnected the actual horn part of it. What else do we have to take out or disconnect? Is there a fuse that connects with the alarm? Thanks in advance to any help you can give. And sorry if I put this in the wrong place.

    not sure, but i doubt you need to remove the dash. I had it down by a dealer under warranty, but it took them no more than 15 min, so, most likely they didn't have to remove the dash.

    My guess is that the clock can just be pulled out, but i'm not too sure.

    The interior light for my a/c, heater controls is out. Can someone tell me where I can locate the old one and replace? Tried to access by removing the ashtray but not sure where the light bulb is located. Thanks...
  • ermserms Member Posts: 3
    sorry for taking so long but thank you... i will try just pulling it out.

    Hi, the speedometer, tachometer and most of the warning lights on my 2000 Isuzu Rodeo just went out. I do not see any fuses that control these. I just had two emission sensors replaced. Any suggestions?
  • khill1khill1 Member Posts: 3
    I own a 2000 Rodeo that needs shocks. There are two questions here...

    1. Does anyone else's ISC have a button where you can control your suspension? I have never seen a button or knob and was wondering if that sort of thing exists.

    2. The problem is that I can't get the shocks from NAPA or any other autoparts store. The only place that has the shocks that fit the Rodeo is the dealership and they cost $140 a piece because they are the "Intelligent Shocks." Are there any other solutions? I don't mind not having smart shocks.

    Thanks!

    An unable to unlock the rear hatch on a 96 Rodeo by pushing the button on the dashboard. Is there a fuse I can check?

    Hi - any insight would be incredibly welcome! My 2000 LS Rodeo is hard to start. It usually takes twice to turnover and the check engine light comes on. This has been going on for two months now. Mechanic #1 told me the emissions system was dying and needed a "deep cleaning". I decided against this and took it to my better, more regular mechanic. He said the EGR valve needed to be cleaned which he did. He could not get the starting problem to duplicate for him (it happens about 50% of the time - sometimes it can go a week without happening). Sure enough the next time I turned the car on it was hard to start and the check engine light popped right back on again. Help! After 2 mechanics I dont know what to do and am hesitant to take it to the dealer.

    Hi, I am having problem with my car. When I start the car the headlights does not work but every other light works, Also there is no problem with starting. After driving about 10 - 20 mi, the headlight starts working (I have to still put it on). This has been happeing for last few months, initially it was once in 2 months but now its like every other week.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I got a 1999 Rodeo LS 4WD yesterday... and the problems begun today. When the engine is cold everything goes OK, but after running for a while and the engine is warm it will have problems starting. Also, when you come to a stop and the engine is idling for a few second it will die 2 out of 3 times. Any idea about it? Should I start by changing wires, spark-plugs and tuning-up? A friend told me it might be a dirty-injector problem and that it will help just adding some cleaners to the gas tank. Any suggestion is welcome!!
    Thanks guys

    What was the solution to the issue for #13 Check engine light and hard to start?
  • derekcarderderekcarder Member Posts: 1
    My mother has an 02 Rodeo and I am trying to help her with the rear door handle assembly that is loose. There is nothing behind the two rubber caps in the assembly. So I have to remove the whole interior door trim piece? Also one of the doors cannot be opened from the inside no matter which way the child lock switch is postioned. I took the inside handle apart and that seems to be fine. Anyone who has solved this problem before, I would sure appreciate some info before I go monkey style and start pulling on things.

    thanks!

    I have a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo 2WD 2.2 Litre 4 cylinder (CK58D) which has a bent rear driver's side half shaft. I can't seem to find any company on the internet that lists this part. Can anyone please put me in contact with a supplier who could help?
  • isuzuhlpisuzuhlp Member Posts: 1
    Have a 95 Honda Passport with an Isuzu 6 cyl. engine. When revving the engine or running at normal speed, the heater gives off good heat, but at idle it is cool. The engine will occasionally overheat. Recently changed water pump and thermostat, flushed the system, had a few shops including Honda check it out, but no change. Could it be a vacuum issue that is overcome when engine is running at higher RPM? Are there any vacuum control valves that could be a problem?
  • lgtrz26lgtrz26 Member Posts: 2
    I was having this issue and it turned out there was coolant near the spark plugs. Once it was cleaned, no more problems, that was over 30 days ago. I have an 98 Rodeo.
  • ncrodeoncrodeo Member Posts: 1
    Hello from NC, Have you found a solution? I have same 1999 Rodeo starting problem + rough iddle. Thanks from NC
  • 95rodeo95rodeo Member Posts: 1
    Hello isuzuhlp, Just wondering if you were able to resolved the intermittent heat. I am now experiencing the same issue. I only replace the thermostat and flush the system out. Water pump was my next step, but that did not work for you. So i'm holding off. Any advice is greatly appreciated incase you fixed the problem. Thanks in advance.

    My 2000 Rodeo LS has developed a gear whine. It seems to be getting worse. Does anyone know what causes this, and is it something I need to worry about? Am I damaging anything by just continuing to drive it?
  • tpaw0007tpaw0007 Member Posts: 1
    Has dramatically lost power especially when I get up around 45 to 50 you just about have to floor it to keep from jumping around everywhere. Anyone know what could be causing this?

  • khill1khill1 Member Posts: 3
    My doors did the same thing. I had to take the door panel off because the latch had wiggled its way undone. Take the panel off and connect it back together.
  • smlakersmlaker Member Posts: 2
    My 1998 did the same thing. It turned out to be a leaking exhaust manifold gasket. This car has been a nightmare from day one, and I bought it new, so I should know. Heavy oil consumption, with no apparent "smoke" has been a problem from the outset.

    You might try Autozone, where they do a CEL code readout free of charge. It might be that you now have another problem (like the leaking exhaust manifold on my 1998).
  • smlakersmlaker Member Posts: 2
    The CEL on my 1998 Rodeo had been going on, for a few days, then off for a while. The engine code is P0401, which translates to "malfunctioning EGR valve". I took it to a well-respected mechanic (not the dealer), who replaced the valve and gasket and "cleaned the intake manifold" (verbatim from the receipt). Seemed to run better initially, but the following day the CEL came back on.

    Mechanic seems to think it will "go off on its own", after I drive it for 50 miles or so, but he hasn't researched this problem yet. I will return the car to him, but I am hoping to learn something from someone about whether or not this vehicle requires some sort of routine to "reset" the engine code, so the light will go off.

    Anyone know?

    The intermittent wiper mode does not work. When I move the wiper control to the first position (intermittent operation) the wipers move up about 5 inches then stop..The low speed & high speed positions work just fine. I suspect either the Combination Switch or the Windshield wiper motor Assembly is the culprit. The local Isuzu Dealer Parts man says, the problem may be with the Alarm Control Module....I'm confused.. Anybody have any ideas??
    Thanks VicG

    My 1996 rodeo have been given me problems for almos a year. I have done a lot of work on it and to a number of people, and still have nothing. First it hard to start, so i had to change the starter. Than it work find for a while. One day is cut off while i was driving, so ii pull it off the road(with no ps) put in park started up than few min later at/temp. light and A/T light can on. So da guys at a part store said, i should change filter and fluid, did that work from time to time. The day i was goin to have trany tested, no start. I have change the oil, plugs, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, timing belt, TP sensor, cam sensor,oil pressure sensor, and battery. I had the alternator tested, Does anyone have a clue why this thing will not run. Yes before i change the fuel pressure regulator there was fuel in da intake, thats why i change the plug once more. Any suggestions help greatly apperciated!!!!!!!!!!
  • wheelin1wheelin1 Member Posts: 3
    my 95 rodeo did the same thing,it would run then die,it turned out to be the crank shaft sensor,since i replaced it it starts and runs good,hope this will help you.
  • wheelin1wheelin1 Member Posts: 3
    I managed to fix the problem,i put the car up on jack stands,disconected the battery,took off the wire took off the sensor,put the trans in netural,and turned the tires and watched the part that goes in transfercase it was not moving,so i put a screw drivev in it ,then i turned the tires and turned the screwdriver at the same time,then it seamed to move,then i turned the tires with out the screwdriver,it was still moving,so i put it back together,and it works now.
  • anthonytopsanthonytops Member Posts: 9
    I also put a scan tool on it and it read no codes. i guess retrying the crank sensor wont hurt, Thanks i'll let you know.
  • 94pssprt94pssprt Member Posts: 2
    hi i have a 94 honda passport that when put into drive it is stuck in the highest gear it will not go into 1st or 2nd unless you manually shift it there is there any way to fix this without a new transmission?

    Thanks, Winston
  • anthonytopsanthonytops Member Posts: 9
    when was da last time you checked the fluid, and or change it?
  • camreonkcamreonk Member Posts: 1
    This is mind boggling for me and my Mech. Feels like the eingine is missing so I replace the plugs (x6), air and fuel filter. This worked for about 15 days and then the problem returned. Now while going up hill the hesitations is worst and feels as though power is degreasing. Just this afternoon while inroute to PepBoys there was a disturbing vibration with exceleration till it shifted out of 3rd or 4th. Any info and suggestions would be appreciated. :confuse:
  • anthonytopsanthonytops Member Posts: 9
    don't know how much this will help but my 96 Rodeo A/t gave me trany problems befor it quit. Now i'm waiting on a CPS. You may want to have someone test your crankshaft Position Sensor. P.S. Don't know if this will help it wort a shot before you end up like me.( over $4oo in parts still wont stay running for longer than 3sec.)

    In my 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, the 4X4 recently stopped engaging. When I hit the dash board button to turn the 4-wheel on I can still hear a click like it is trying to engage, but the light just continues to blink on the dash and the front two wheels never engage. Does anyone know where I should start to look for the problem?
  • anthonytopsanthonytops Member Posts: 9
    I changed the CPS and it's the same thing guess it the ICM
  • 94pssprt94pssprt Member Posts: 2
    Have you checked your module
  • anthonytopsanthonytops Member Posts: 9
    waiting on the dealer to get it back. I hope that works.
  • ambersmithambersmith Member Posts: 1
    I need to know where can I find the ERG valve in a 1997 Honda Passport. It is a V6, EX, 4X4. Also I heard that you can take the part off and clean it, it might would help for a little while. If I was to change or clean it would I have to adjust anything on the motor. Thanks SOOO Much :confuse: If there is any web site that might have pictures of where it is send them my way to please!
  • anthonytopsanthonytops Member Posts: 9
    On my 96 4x4 it is between the throttle body and firewall, it has and elec. conction on top. Cleaning it may help, a new one will cost around 200 dollars. Good luck.

    Hi, did you find solution for this? I have 1998 Rodeo and have similar problem. thanks!

  • ddickauddickau Member Posts: 3
    Hi I have a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo. When I come up to a stop sign I can't move while in drive when the green light comes up again. Or I can just get in it and try to take off and I can't move this way. If I wait a little bit it will jump into drive and then I can go but then I can't move any further, it just revs my engine up for a little bit and then it will jump back into drive again and then I can go again. When I am out on the highway it don't do this I can move until I come to a complete stop and take off again then the same thing happens all over again. And today it started doing it in reverse too. What is wrong and what do I need to do?
    Thank you,
    Deanna
  • ddickauddickau Member Posts: 3
    Does a 2000 rodeo have a dip stick for tranny fluid? If so where is it located? I have gone to 4 mechanics and they all tell me I have to go to an Isuzu dealer and they will adjust with a key?
    Thankyou

    Hi,
    I had the same problem in my 94 Rodeo a few years ago. It was a mechanical problem. There is a little gear inside the speedometer, which was worn out and had to be replaced. Best, stan_il

    You mean it hasn't blown up yet?. Got a 99 and the engine blew last year. Haven't torn it down yet but suspect a rod problem. Checked the internet found out it's an engine design flaw. Stay on top of that oil because you will not get any warning. The damage will be done before you can catch it. GL
